Computational Polarimetry: A Bayesian Framework for Polarimetric System Design
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-10)In this thesis, we propose a novel polarimetric system design framework that computationally evaluates a design to solve an optical problem. It does this by explicitly formulating the logical connections and dependencies ... -
Developments Towards Chromophore-Selectivity in Photoacoustic Remote Sensing Microscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-28)Medical imaging serves to diagnose and monitor illnesses in clinical settings. Several modalities such as X-Ray and Ultrasound have become ubiquitous due to their high utility. Photoacoustic microscopy, based on the ... -
Measurements and Models Related to Solar Optics in Windows with Shading Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-13)Shading devices have the potential to reduce peak cooling load and annual energy consumption because they can be used to control solar gain. Thus, the need to model shading devices in a glazing system analysis is ... -
Multiphysics Modelling of Liquid Crystal Based Adaptive Lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-30)Conventional lenses are limited by their fixed shaped and optical properties. Liquid crystal adaptive lenses (LCLAs) are a promising candidate to move beyond these limitations thanks their tuneable optical properties. A ... -
Opto-Mechanical Analysis of a Harsh Environment MEMS Fabry-Perot Pressure Sensor
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)The objective of this thesis is to develop an optically interrogated pressure sensor that is capable of measuring the applied fluid pressure in harsh environments. In its completed state, this sensor is intended be used ... -
Study of a MEMS fiber-optic pressure sensor based on Optical Interferometry.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-27)The main focus of this thesis is the development of a MEMS optical pressure sensor capable of giving real-time, accurate measurements to a mid-high pressure range. Some traditional devices for acquisition of parameters ...
