Find the numerical aperture of an optical fiber through experiment and determine if it falls within experimental error of the manufacturer's listed value.
An analytical method for achieving specific wave modulations from the device designed in Polarization-Independent, Multifunctional All-Fiber Comb Filter Using Variable Ratio Coupler-Based Mach–Zehnder Interferometer will be derived from the Jones calculus representing the device in question. This will, as a consequence, show the mathematical reasoning for many characteristics of the device such as the polarization-independence, and the ability to achieve the effects of a comb filter.
For a two-body system, we derive expressions for the secular, long periodic and high frequency effects caused on to the semi-major axis of the secondary body due to the emission of gravitational waves. This is possible by considering the time rate of change of the total energy of the system, and substituting for the energy loss due the emission of gravitational waves. Next, we convert the time rate of change of the semimajor axis as a function of the orbital elements using standard a celestial mechanics approach, where the inverse powers or the orbital radial vector r is written as a function of the orbital elements with the help of the eccentricity functions G(e). We apply our result to Mercury/Sun system.
As a diving point into applied solid state physics, I started to look at solar panels. Energy transformations were one of the main ideas that initially peaked my interest in physics. Along with the consideration of the current literal and business climates, this topic fell right into my lap. Recent research into hybrid organic-inorganic Perovskite crystals being designed for ideal electron energy gaps has been where I have directed most of my exploration.
