The molecular origins of second-order nonlinear effects in type I collagen fibrils have been
identified with sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy. The dominant contributing …

A general theory of second-harmonic generation, including all the effects of group-velocity
dispersion, is given for coherent ultrashort pulses with arbitrary shapes and carrier chirps. …

Second-harmonic generation and spectroscopic absorption measurements are used to study
the nonlinear-optical thin-film properties of azo dye guest molecules oriented in a polymer …

Transverse and axial trapping forces are calculated in the ray optics regime for a multiple-beam
fiber-optic light-force trap for dielectric microspheres located both on and off axis relative …

We conducted studies to determine whether introducing an interactive textbook into introductory
STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) courses can improve student grades. …

It is demonstrated that surface plasmon sensing can be performed in the shot-noise-limited
regime to resolve index of refractive changes on the order of 10^−10/√Hz at input powers of …

Objective: Current intrapartum fetal monitoring technology is unable to provide physicians
with an objective metric of fetal well-being, leading to degraded patient outcomes and …

Energy conservation in microorganisms is classically categorized into respiration and
fermentation; however, recent work shows some species can use mixed or alternative bioenergetic …

Digital signal processing techniques are used to design, analyze, and implement discrete
models of polarization dispersion in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. These …

Non-invasive transabdominal fetal pulse oximetry (TFO) can provide physicians with a better
metric of fetal well-being than currently-used fetal monitoring methods. There are two major …
