NEW BOOK

McGraw Hill has released a new semiconductor textbook for your reading pleasure, by B. L. Anderson and R. L. Anderson. Details can be found at the publisher's here. For a current list of errata, click here.

INTRODUCTION

Professor Anderson conducts research in the general areas of photonics and optical engineering. Currently she is particularly interested in generating true-time delays for steering large phased array antennas (see Research page). Variations on the same technology, based on the White cell (check out photo below), can also be used for optical interconnections for large optical routers, optical correlation for analog optical signal processing, optical code division multiple-access coding and decoding, and quality of signal monitoring. Prof. Anderson is also interest in coherence, the spatial modes of lasers, and optical sensing. She teaches various classes in Photonics at OSU, as well as semiconductor physics and occasionally even design and technical writing.

 

The White cell. The spot pattern is fun and easy to control. If you put a pixelated optical switch where the spot are, you can switch this light beam on every bounce and do lots of interesting things.See my Research Page for more.
