Comments Regarding
my Optical Design and Analysis Work:
-
- Over the years I have occasionally done optical design work of one kind
or another. I designed a high intensity infrared light emitting diode
( LED ) array as
a key part of an exotic electrochemical porous silicon etching cell. The cell was used for
fabricating porous silicon wafers for a MEMS based fuel cell system.
-
- I designed a unique acousto-optic interferometer for making absolute
calibrations of ultrasound field intensity. I received a small NIH grant for
executing this design.
-
- More recently, I have designed various bubble or gas fraction detecting
sensor systems that are optical in nature. I have started to spread my
finite element modeling wings by making an FEA model of the non-linear self focusing
of propagating monochromatic Gaussian beams.
-
- I have also done a fair amount of work designing a couple of interesting
fiber optic coupled laser welding heads for fusion bonding thermoplastic
polymeric materials.
