Publication
Preprints
Preprints/reprints of some recent
papers.
Two-Dimensional
Spectral Shearing Interferometry (2DSI)
(PDF)
Need to measure the electric field of
an optical pulse lasting a few femtoseconds?
My
condolences. But this might help.
Modelocked
Laser Steady-state Pulse Solver (PDF)
My SM thesis, covering an algorithm for solving directly for
the steady state pulse of a nonlinear cavity
with relatively weak
nonlinearity, such as a solid-state femtosecond laser. (There's also a short summary paper.)
The
solution is typically found at least 10 times faster than with
standard simulations.
Dispersion
Optimization Algorithms
Code for the fast optimization and
analysis of
dispersion
from dielectric
mirrors.
Used for designing components for
ultrafast
optical systems and optical communications.
Ultrafast
Optics and Quantum Electronics Group
Home page of our research
group.
CV (PDF file)
Photographs
Mostly containing
photos of interest to family and friends.
Writing
Not a blog. I prefer "online
collection of informal essays."
Flying
Some photos from happier, wealthier times.
Athena Public
Directory
My public
directory on the MIT
computing system,
Athena,
containing
a constantly changing set of items of random
interest.
Diffraction Theory
Illustration
A short visual illustration of the
various diffraction approximations,
intended for people
already familiar with linear systems.
Online
Books
A few interesting or hard-to-find
books in digital form.
Hurricane
Isabel Satellite Movie
Movies made from satellite photos of
hurricane Isabel
as it made landfall and then
dissipated.
Formula
Sheets
Equations of all types, arranged by
MIT class.
