We are always trying to find new device structures both for applications such as holography as well as test structures for new electro-optical effects.

Our low power laser labs are used to construct and test our latest innovations in optical engineering, computer generated holography, optical correlation, adaptive optics for ophthalmics and optical telecommunications.

Consider the reasons for any differences. Consider the effect of mass, Young's modulus and cost on the performance and economics of each structure by constructing appropriate figures of merit.

1997a). Figure 1 shows in detail the test section and heated test plate. ... Figure 1. Encapsulated cholesteric liquid crystals were used to visualise the process of wake-induced transition on the test surface.

The full implications of her work were not realised until the 1950s but after that, the ‘Tipper test’ became the standard method for determining this form of brittleness in steel.

The aircraft used were mostly Spitfires, flown by Wing Commander Wilson, the chief test pilot at Farnborough, who was happy to hold the aircraft in a steep (but never vertical) dive

By setting up small scale tests using the centrifuge, for instance, the rate of spread of a plume of pollution from a landfill site which would occur over a period of

While at Orfordness, Jones and others learned to fly, encouraged by Hopkinson, so that they could test the apparatus and armaments they were trying to perfect in actual service.

Results show, in general, excellent agreement with engine test data. Other sources of asymmetric engine flow, such as pylons, support struts and asymmetric stators are also accommodated within this framework.

Royce tests. ... The rig used for these tests incorporated a wake generator to simulate the presence of a single upstream blade row.

The impact of long-term economic costs is hidden by future discounting, and through a lack of liability of current owners for end-of-life disposal costs. ... Current research is comparing the merits of novel new foundation solutions within the wider
