High-frequency acousto-optic effects in Bragg reflectors (2014)
Journal Article
Farmer, D., Akimov, A. V., Gippius, N., Bailey, J., Sharp, J. S., & Kent, A. (2014). High-frequency acousto-optic effects in Bragg reflectors. Optics Express, 22(12), 15218-15231. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.22.015218

Picosecond acoustic interferometry was used to study the acousto-optic properties of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) manufactured from two immiscible polymers (cellulose acetate and polyvinylcarbyzole). Picosecond strain pulses were injected into... Read More about High-frequency acousto-optic effects in Bragg reflectors.

Mechanical vibrations of magnetically levitatedviscoelastic droplets (2014)
Journal Article
Temperton, R. H., Hill, R. J., & Sharp, J. S. (2014). Mechanical vibrations of magnetically levitatedviscoelastic droplets. Soft Matter, 10(29), 5375-5379. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4sm00982g

The mechanical vibrations of magnetically levitated droplets were investigated using a simple optical deflection technique. Droplets of water and a water-based solution of poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) were levitated in the bore of a superconducti...
