Brick: A Story of Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-28)Brick. A simple object, but one that has been a base unit of architecture for over 6000 years. It carries connotations of labour, of energy, of the fundamental desire of humanity to give form to the substance of the Earth. ... -
Design, Simulation and Fabrication of Photonic Crystal Slab Waveguide Based Polarization Processors
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)The Photonic Crystal (PC) is a potential candidate for a compact optical integrated circuit on a solid state platform. The fabrication process of a PC is compatible with CMOS technology; thus, it could be potentially ... -
Fabrication of nanochannels on polystyrene surfaces
(Biomicrofluidics, 2015-05)Solvent-induced nanocrack formation on polystyrene surface is investigated experimentally. Solubility parameter and diffusion coefficient of alcohols are employed to elucidate the swelling and cracking processes as well ... -
Next-Generation Solid-State Quantum Emitters
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-31)This thesis details two types of deterministic solid-state quantum emitters, an optically-driven quantum dot source in a tapered nanowire waveguide, and an electrically-driven source implemented by integrating a single-electron ... -
A Novel Buried-Emitter Photovoltaic Cell for High Efficiency Energy Conversion
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-22)To address the commonly poor short wavelength response of the conventional solar cell structure which consists of a highly doped thin emitter layer on top of a thicker and less doped base, the novel concept of the ...
