A Study of the Structure and Dynamics of Smectic 8CB Under Mesoscale Confinement
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)The structure and dynamics of the smectic-A liquid crystal 8CB (4 cyano-4 octylbiphenyl) when sheared and confined to mesoscale gaps (with crossed cylindrical geometry and mica confining surfaces) were studied using a ... -
Temperature Effects in Optical Fiber Dispersion Compensation Modules
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-05)This thesis presents the results for the temperature variation of the Differential Group Delay (DGD) measurements of a Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM) and interprets the results with a theoretical DGD model based on ...
