On a Cartesian cut-cell methodology for simulating atmospheric ice accretion on aircraft
(2020-04-25)Atmospheric in-flight ice accretion has been a significant operational hazard in aviation for decades. Super-cooled water droplets impinge on exposed surfaces such as wings and rotor blades. These droplets may freeze on ... -
SAW-driven single-photon sources and photon detectors fabricated on an undoped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well
(2020-03-31)Over the last few decades there has been strong interest in quantum information systems based on photonic qubits. Devices able to emit pure single-photon states on demand and detect incoming single photons in the system ... -
Novel Applications of Terahertz Quantum Cascade Lasers: Gas Spectroscopy, Active Control & Nearfield Imaging
(2020-03-21)Since the advent of Terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) in 2002, they have seen significant improvement in output power, operating temperature, and spectral coverage as well as having been widely applied to ... -
Techniques and Technologies for Earth-twin Discoveries
(2020-04-25)In this Thesis I present and discuss the work completed during my three and a half years as a PhD student in the Exoplanet Research Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK. Most of my work has been ...
