Miami University

Miami University (MU) is a coeducational public research university located in Oxford, Ohio, United States. Founded in 1809, it is the 10th oldest public university in the United States and the second oldest in Ohio. In its 2010 edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked the university's undergraduate program 77th among national universities. It is considered to be one of America's Public Ivy universities, which recognizes top public academic universities in the United States.

The Effectiveness of the PHY183 Lab at Miami & PARTY ! Joshua Jacob Undergraduate Research Project Physics Department University of Cincinnati Abstract: PHY 183 is offered to over 700 students throughout the academic year. This class fulfills Miami Plan Laboratory requirements and is required as a corequisite for PHY 171/181. PHY 183 has such a breadth and depth of students taking it that it should be tailored to the student’s academic needs and instruction should be more useful to the students at large. This is the beginning of a multiyear project to increase the effectiveness of the lab course through student interviews, graduate student interviews, and faculty interviews. This research is on the first portion, surveys and interviews with current students

Opto-mechanical micromachines & the angular momentum of light Heidrun Schmitzer Physics Department Xavier University Abstract: At the beginning of the last century John Poynting realized that light has a spin angular momentum which is associated with circular polarization. And approximately 10 years ago it was proposed that light can also carry an orbital angular momentum independent of its polarization state. Since then (angular) momentum transfer from light to particles is investigated as a means to drive the rotation of small micro meter sized objects. I will present our own studies on this interesting subject and discuss some possible applications in physics and biology .

Strong Optical Forces on Atoms Harold Metcalf Physics & Astronomy Department SUNY Stony Brook Abstract: The ordinary optical forces that have been used to both cool and trap atoms for many purposes are limited in both strength and velocity range by atomic properties. These limits can be overcome with non-monochromatic light, but the topic is new and largely unexplored. The talk will introduce the basic ideas of optical forces and how they're applied to laser cooling. Then it will discuss the new forces in light with two frequencies, and then with light that is frequency modulated to make a whole set of sidebands. Some experimental methods will be described.

Quantum Manipulations Using Rydberg Atoms Thad Walker Department of Physics University of Wisconsin, Madison Abstract: The strong, long-range interactions between Rydberg atoms may be an excellent means of producing entanglement between atoms at distances that are resolvable by conventional optics. In particular, using Rydberg states to block the production of multi-atom excited states appears promising for producing robust entanglement of atomic ensembles. I will present ideas for using Rydberg blockade to achieve single atom and single photon sources, teleportation, and fast qubit readout. I will describe an apparatus we have built at Wisconsin to try to investigate Rydberg blockade of qubit pairs and ensembles, and present results on addressable qubit manipulation. Preliminary experiments on Rydberg excitation will be described. Special Talk

2. Design Determine grating coupler period from theory: Determine photonic crystal lattice type and dimensions from simulations. Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of Nanophotonic Devices Scott A. Masturzo and Joseph T. Boyd Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science, University of Cincinnati Howard E. Jackson, Department of Physics, University of Cincinnati Jan Yarrison-Rice, Department of Physics, Miami University 1. Motivation Integrate photonics with electronics and optoelectronics for faster and more efficient devices with novel properties. Advance understanding of photonic band gap materials. Specifically, improve grating coupler efficiency. At right: A grating couples light incident from the air into a photonic crystal waveguide. Grating Coupler and Photonic Crystal Waveguide → Material System: Silicon on Insulator (SOI) upper cladding – air core layer – 228 nm Si lower cladding – 700 nm SiO2 low-loss single-mode waveguide for 1550 nm light Below: Laser light is directed at a variable incident angle onto a grating coupler on the surface of an SOI wafer. Light exiting the cleaved edge of the wafer is scattered upward into a vertical microscope column. Above: The incident angle is varied about 45° for two gratings of different depths and periods of 724 nm. 3.
