Sung, Won Ju (2013-12-10)Optical polarization control in Ti diffused channel waveguides onto LiNbO_(3) substrates have been investigated near 1530 nm wavelength regime by utilizing electro-optic effects of the substrate material. A device configuration ...
-
Teng, Xiaojing (2016-12-07)It is known that mechanics plays a central role in many biological events. Tissue can remodel and turnover to adapt to new mechanical environment, such as hypertension and exercising. During the remodeling, hydrolysis of ...

Wagner, Hallie (2012-07-16)Cerebrovascular disease continues to be responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. There is a pressing need to better understand the biomechanics of both intracranial arteries and the extracranial arteries that ...
-
Hayenga, Heather Naomi (2012-07-16)In order to create informed predictive models that capture artery dependent responses during atherosclerosis progression and the long term response to hypertension, one needs to know the structural, biochemical and mechanical ...
-
Jin, Xing (2009-05-15)This research is primarily focused on developing potential applications for microwaveinduced thermoacoustic tomography and correcting for image degradations caused by acoustic heterogeneities. Microwave-induced thermoacoustic ...
-
Kaya, Gamze (2015-12-07)This dissertation reports a study of nonadiabatic (field-free) molecular alignment for linear molecules. The measurements were performed by measuring photoelectron ionization yields and white-light generation. In the first ...
-
Larson, Adam Michael (2009-05-15)Nonlinear optical microscopy (NLOM) utilizing femtosecond laser pulses is well suited for imaging living tissues. This work reports on the design and development of an optical fiber based multispectral NLOM developed around ...
-
Wang, Chao (2012-02-14)This project explores optimization of two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) enhancement between tunable narrowband and un-tuned broadband femtosecond (fs) laser pulse excitations for two-photon microscopy (TPM). The ...
-
Ramakrishnan, Sreevidhya (2021-07-16)The past decade has seen an enormous increase in FcRn-targeted engineering strategies to generate antibodies with therapeutic and diagnostic implications. The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, is a multifunctional receptor ...
-
You, Sung Yong (2020-11-06)Recently, single-molecule microscopy techniques have increasingly been used to study the subcellular trafficking of biomolecules due to their nanometer-scale resolution and multicolor imaging capabilities. These techniques ...
-
Kang, Ho Jin (2012-07-16)The vascular endothelium continually senses and responds to both biochemical and mechanical stimuli to regulate vascular function in health and disease. The purpose of this dissertation was to understand the molecular ...
-
Todorovic, Milos (2009-05-15)A new, high-speed, fiber-based Mueller-matrix optical coherence tomography system with continuous source-polarization modulation is presented. For in vivo experimentation, the sample arm optics are integrated into a hand-held ...
-
Balasubramanian, Haribhaskar (2009-05-15)Nonlinear optical microscopy (NLOM) offers many advantages when imaging intact biological samples. By using ultrafast lasers in the near infrared and two photon excitation (TPE), signal production is limited to the focal ...
-
Pang, Shuo (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)This thesis presents the development of a refractometric sensor based on quantum dot-embedded polystyrene microspheres. The technique uses optical resonances within a microsphere, known as Whispering-Gallery Modes (WGMs), ...
