Figure correction of thin plate and shell substrates using stress generated by ion implantation
I developed a method to correct height errors in thin substrates. Accurately-figured thin plates and shallow shells are important for large-area space telescopes and for the semiconductor industry. Thin substrates can be bent into the desired shape, for example by tens of microns on a 100 mm …

Optical instruments for characterization in the nano-scale
… in part one, and the Long Trace Profiler/Optical Slope Measurement System for characterization of line spacing errors in X-ray blazed synchrotron diffraction gratings to the Angstrom scale in part two. Quantum dots have long been a reliable label in single-molecule applications due to their …

The Role of Mirror Errors in Solar Energy Conversion
… However, the mirrors are not perfect and have slope, shape, tracking, and non-specularity errors. This thesis investigates the role that these errors play in decreasing the overall efficiency with which radiation is converted to work in a system that relies on reflection. Three theoretical …
