Anisotropic lattice changes in femtosecond laser inscribed Nd3+:MgO:LiNbO3 optical waveguides (2009)
Journal Article
Nd3+:MgO:LiNbO3 optical waveguides. Journal of Applied Physics, 106(1), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3168432

We report on the fabrication and microspectroscopy imaging of femtosecond laser written
double-filament based Nd3+ :MgO:LiNbO3 optical waveguides. The waveguiding high
refractive-index regions are identified by blueshifts of the Nd3+ ion fluorescen... Read More about Anisotropic lattice changes in femtosecond laser inscribed Nd3+:MgO:LiNbO3 optical waveguides.

Computation of multi-element aerofoil, high-lift aerodynamics at transonic flow conditions using transport equation turbulence models (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Johnston, L. (2009, July). Computation of multi-element aerofoil, high-lift aerodynamics at transonic flow conditions using transport equation turbulence models. Presented at 3rd European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences, Versailles, France

An unstructured-grid, Navier-Stokes flow solver is used to compute the transonic flow development over the SKF 1.1 supercritical aerofoil section, in clean configuration and equipped with either a trailing-edge flap or a leading-edge slat. A full dif... Read More about Computation of multi-element aerofoil, high-lift aerodynamics at transonic flow conditions using transport equation turbulence models.
