Author:Dudley, Angela L; Vasilyeu, R; Forbes, A; Khilo, N; Ropot, PDate:Jul 2009This presentation provides information on experimental generation and application of the superposition of higher-order Bessel beams. The superposition of zero order Bessel beams can be used to measure the radius of curvature of a reflecting ...Read more
Author:Yalisi, B; Katumba, G; Forbes, A; Pillay, SRDate:Jun 2009Selective solar absorbers are devices that have been designed to absorb as much as possible of the solar radiation which is in the wavelength range of 0.3 to 2.5 µm and to minimise thermal emittance in the wavelength range from 2.5µm to the ...Read more
Author:Ismail, Y; Mclaren, MG; Forbes, ADate:Jul 2009This presentation provides information on optical trapping and tweezing using a spatial light modulator.Read more
Author:Mbatha, N; Malinga, S; Sivakumar, V; Pillay, S; Bencherif, HDate:Jul 2009Neutral atmosphere (including the MLT) and ionosphere are linked by energy and momentum transfer. Thus, this whole region forms a coupled system in which influences that originates at one height or in one region can have profound influence ...Read more
Author:Dudley, Angela L; Vasilyeu, R; Forbes, A; Khilo, N; Ropot, PDate:Jul 2009This poster presents a mechanism for the generation of the superposition of higher-order Bessel beams, which implements a ring slit aperture and spatial light modulator (SLM). The experimental technique is also adapted to generate nondiffracting ...Read more
