White light lasers (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Rose, C., McDonald, G., & Christian, J. (2011, June). White light lasers. Poster presented at SEE Celebration of Research, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Broadband multiline frequency combs present a wealth of applications, ranging from meteorology, sensing and measurements to those potentially in the domain of attosecond science. We report here on detailed investigations of a novel process that is ac... Read More about White light lasers.

Relativistic effects in non-relativistic systems (2011)
Presentation / Conference
McDonald, G., Christian, J., & Hodgkinson, T. (2011, June). Relativistic effects in non-relativistic systems. Poster presented at SEE Celebration of Research, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

We propose a new model for describing the evolution of scalar optical pulses in Kerr-type planar waveguides and optical fibres. The wave envelope satisfies a dimensionless equation and its solutions are thus endowed with some intriguing and mystical... Read More about Relativistic effects in non-relativistic systems.

Snell's law for nonlinear beams (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Sanchez-Curto, J., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2011, June). Snell's law for nonlinear beams. Poster presented at SEE Celebration of Research, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

The refraction of plane waves at a uniform boundary between dissimilar linear dielectric materials is perhaps one of the oldest and best-understood phenomenon in optics. In contrast, the behaviour of a beam with a finite transverse cross-section is m... Read More about Snell's law for nonlinear beams.

Modeling factors influencing the capacity of motorway merge sections controlled by ramp metering (2011)
Presentation / Conference
sections controlled by ramp metering. Presented at 6th International Symposium on Highway Capacity and Quality of Service, Stockholm, Sweden

This paper focuses on studying factors which are likely to affect motorway merge capacity when ramp metering controls are in use. A newly developed traffic micro-simulation model has been used for this purpose and the well known ALINEA and Demand-Cap...
