    • Perturbation Theory for Thin Cladding Layers on Silicon Photonic Systems 
      Phare, Christopher (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
      I develop a perturbation theory for resonant frequency shifts caused by thin layer of material added to dielectric systems.  This development can be used to effectively model photonic surface-sensing systems, which use ...
    • Slow Light Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for Optical Label-free Biosensing 
      Qin, Kun (2014-04-17)
      Department: Electrical Engineering
      This work presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a small footprint Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) that possesses strong light-matter interaction. The demonstrated MZI structure is 400 times smaller ...
