Placing Limits on Light Axions with EHT Polarimetry via Closure Traces
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-31)Black holes can amplify incoming bosonic waves via rotational superradiance, inducing bound states of ultralight bosons around them. This phenomenon has the potential to confine the parameter spaces of new bosons. Axions, ... -
Temporal Dynamics of Polarization and Polarization Mode Dispersion and Influence on Optical Fiber Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-29)This thesis examines polarization and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) dynamics in optical fibers as well as the evaluation of probability density functions and bit error rates in a realistic wavelength division multiplexed ...
