Vibrational Kerr spectroscopy
The infrared vibrational Kerr effect was investigated as a potentially selective and sensitive detection method for explosives. The investigation of the vibrational Kerr effect commenced with the first reported measurement of the integrated infrared vapor absorption strengths for the explosives …

Traversable Wormholes in Kerr Black Holes
… in the four-dimensional, asymptotically flat Kerr spacetime. To that end, I discuss the nature of quantization and field theories in curved spacetimes and their impact on this construction. With a new deformation to the action, I show that the average null energy across the throat of the …

An investigation of giant Kerr nonlinearity
… of an atomic system exhibiting a giant Kerr nonlinearity. The atomic energy level scheme involves four energy levels. A three level A subsystem in the atom exhibits the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), reducing the spontaneous emission noise. The fourth level …

Radiation transport around Kerr black holes
… code for analyzing accretion processes around Kerr black holes. We begin in Chapter 1 with a brief historical summary of the major advances in black hole astrophysics over the past few decades. In Chapter 2 we present a detailed description of the ray-tracing code, which can be used to …

Discrete Nonlinear Wave Propagation In Kerr Nonlinear Media
… realization of discrete solitons in a Kerr nonlinear AlGaAs waveguide array by H. Eisenberg and coworkers in 1998. In this work a detailed experimental investigation of discrete nonlinear wave propagation and the interactions between beams, including discrete solitons, in discrete …

Black Hole Astrophysics : Magnetohydrodynamics on the Kerr Geometry
… accretion flows and outflows on the Kerr space-time is analyzed. Basic equations of conservative GRMHD and aspects of numerical schemes are presented. Relativistic codes and astrophysical simulations validate numerical schemes. A synopsis gives requirements for a robuste GRMHD code. …

Gravitational Waves From Perturbed Kerr Black Holes: Two Investigations
… mass-ratio inspiral of a compact object into a Kerr black hole of mass M and spin J. For a given dimensionless spin a ≡ J/M2 (in geometrical units G = c = 1 ), the energy flux depends only on the orbital velocity v or (equivalently) on the Boyer-Lindquist orbital radius r. We investigate the …
