Title: Quantum
State Engineering and Detection
Adetunmise Dada
Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) implementation
of a joint generalized quantum measurement of two atoms. This illustration shows
two two-level atoms flying through high-Q cavities and Ramsey zones, bouncing
off magnetic mirrors, and finally passing through field ionizing
detectors. This is a promising technique for quantum
information technologies.

Title: Made to measure stencil: HWU
shines through!
Aongus McCarthy
School of EPS
Viewing transparent moulded plastic items between
crossed polarisers can reveal colourful stress patterns because of the induced
birefringence. The symmetry of the H-W-U letters in this plastic stencil meant
that they looked the same, and were in the ¡°right¡± order, when the stencil was
turned over! The letters were made to appear bright between crossed polarisers by
using pieces of sellotape which cause the plane of polarisation to be rotated.
Title: A compact stress recording
Aongus McCarthy
School of EPS
Viewing transparent moulded plastic items between
crossed polarisers can reveal colourful stress patterns because of the induced
birefringence. This was first described by the Scottish physicist Sir David
Brewster in the early 19th century. These photographs shown a CD jewel case
insert tray back illuminated with polarised light and photographed through a polarising
filter attached to the camera.
Title: Clamp down on stress
Aongus McCarthy
School of EPS
Certain transparent materials reveal colourful
contour patterns when they are placed under mechanical stress and viewed
between crossed polarisers. The patterns are visible because of the induced
birefringence which is proportional to the applied stress. This is known as
mechanical birefringence or photo elasticity, and was first described by the
Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster in the early 19th century.
Title: Optical highways - No traffic lights required at the intersections
Aongus McCarthy
School of EPS
There is considerable interest in incorporating
"optical pathways", within metre-scale; electrical printed circuit boards
(PCBs). This photograph shows optical waveguides (50 ¦Ìm square cross-section
cores with cladding) that have been formed in polymer on a PCB substrate
material using a UV laser-writing system. (Scale: The radius of curvature of
the smaller bends is approximately 15 mm).
Title: EMEC wave test site
Beharie, Robert A
The photo was taken by a colleague of
the author at the EMEC wave test site. Whereas he processed the image to its
final version making it a collaborative process. The subject is research into
wave energy by using innovative techniques. In the background is the Aquamarine
wave energy converter device.

potential foodborne pathogen E. coli
on these chromogenic L-EMB plates is shown by the distinctive metallic sheen of
the circular colonies on the agar surface.

colours, like the black of the Salmonella colonies shown here.

The majority of E. coli
bacteria we come into intimate contact with are harmless commensal organisms
that help support our digestion. This photo shows microbiological plates confirming
the presence of E. coli, an organism that gets a lot of bad press that¡¯s
justified by only a small number of its extended family.

Title: Interaction of fluid-fluid and fluid-solid at their
interfaces
Interfacial
forces and wettability of the solid-oil-water-carbon dioxide system play an
important role in a number of environmental, biological and industrial
processes. Measuring the aforementioned data under high pressure-high
temperature conditions is essential to design enhanced oil recovery and CO2
storage processes. This photo was taken during one of our experiments, which
shows almost two same sized oil droplets with different distance from the
camera and light source. The common area is a guidance to clarify the order of
each droplet in terms of position from light source.

Title:
Micro gas bubbles in water
Interfacial
forces and wettability of the solid-oil-water-carbon dioxide system play an
important role in a number of environmental, biological and industrial
processes. This picture shows micro-gas bubbles inside water as a result of
pressure drop of the system. As can be seen due to very small size of the gas
bubbles light can not pass through and case a shadow on the image of the media,
which is clear water.
Title:
Partial eclipse in the lab
Interfacial
forces and wettability of the solid-oil-water-carbon dioxide system play an
important role in a number of environmental, biological and industrial
processes. In one of the experiments we tested the penetration of light from
fluids and observed that due to the special shape of the oil droplet it can
pass the light and generate a speculate picture as if it is the picture of moon
and/or a real partial eclipse of sun.
Title:
Transparent porous medium
This
rainbow is due to the reflection of light from one of our equipment which is
made of two pieces of glass. The different thicknesses of tapped air between
these two glass plates are the main reason for this reflection.

Title: Invasion dynamics in an oscillatory system
In
oscillatory systems, invasion generates a spatiotemporal transition through
periodic cycles,leading ultimately to spatiotemporal chaos.
Title:
Waves and Chaos in Oscillatory Systems
Many
natural populations undergo multi-year cycles, and field studies have shown
that these
can be organized into periodic travelling waves. Mathematical studies have
shown that large-scale landscape obstacles represent a natural mechanism for
wave generation. This figure show a numerical simulation of this process of
wave generation for a caricature model of an oscillatory ecological system. In
the left hand panel the obstacle is the small central circle, and it generates
a stable wave pattern. But in the right hand panel the obstacle is larger, and
this causes the generation of a wave that is of lower amplitude and is
unstable. It is visible close to the obstacle but then breaks down into
spatiotemporal chaos. In oscillatory systems, invasion generates a spatiotemporal
transition through periodic cycles,leading ultimately to spatiotemporal chaos.

Title: Micro Temperature Sensor with
Footprint of 250µm¡Á240µm

School of EPS
For
in-situ temperature monitoring of laser assisted bonding for MEMS packaging
application, thin film micro sensors have been designed with meander track
width of 3µm resulting in a footprint of 250µm¡Á240µm, which were fabricated by
using sputtered platinum and patterned using the focused ion beam (FIB) etching
method.
Title: Beam Profiles of Laser Assisted
Bonding for MEMS Packaging
Yufei
Liu
School of EPS
Localised
laser assisted bonding can reduce the thermal load on MEMS devices and thus the
induced stress during the packaging process. The frame-shaped beam could afford
a lower temperature at central device areas than in bonding track areas, which
can produce a more desirable temperature profile for MEMS packaging
application.

co-polyester yarn, are drawn on hot drawing rollers and plate at 60 OC in the
hot drawing process. IR image illustrates the temperature variation to get the
temperature profile scale along or across the fibres, image colours correspond
to the temperature scale on the right.

experiment
Basel Younes
Depending on extensive thermal
analysis, a fine multi-filament yarn of 74 filaments, biodegradable aliphatic
aromatic co-polyester yarn, are spun at 140 OC in melt spinning process. With
original view, IR image illustrates the temperature variation to get the
temperature profile scale along or across the fibres in term of investigation
of cooling system quality, image colours correspond to the temperature scale on
the right.
