    • Frame dragging with optical vortices 
      Strohaber, James (2011-12-22)
      General Relativistic calculations in the linear regime have been made for electromagnetic beams of radiation known as optical vortices. These exotic beams of light carry a physical quantity known as optical orbital angular ...
    • In situ tomography of femtosecond optical beams with a holographic knife-edge 
      Strohaber, James; Kaya, G; N, Kay; Hart, Nathan; Kolomenskii, Alexander; Paulus, Gerhard; Schuessler, Hans (Optics Express, 2011-07-18)
      We present an in situ beam characterization technique to analyze femtosecond optical beams in a folded version of a 2f-2f setup. This technique makes use of a two-dimensional spatial light modulator (SLM) to holographically ...
    • Observation of precursorlike behavior of femtosecond pulses in a dye with a strong absorption band 
      Springer, Matthew M.; Yang, Wenlong; Kolomenski, Alexandre A.; Schuessler, Hans A.; Strohaber, James; Kattawar, George W.; Sokolov, Alexei V. (American Physical Society, 2011)
      Recent interest in Sommerfeld-Brillouin optical precursors has brought attention to the possibility of optical precursor observation in bulk matter. We investigate the possible formation of optical precursors in an organic ...
