Physics Colloquium: "Color-on-demand photonic textiles using plastic photonic bandgap fibers"

Campus Activities Abstract: We present the fabrication and use of plastic Photonic Band Gap Bragg fibers in photonic textiles for applications in interactive cloths, sensing fabrics, signage and art. In their cross section Bragg fibers feature periodic sequence of layers of two distinct plastics. Under ambient illumination the fibers appear colored due to optical interference in their microstructure. Additionally, Bragg fibers guide light in the low refractive index core by photonic bandgap effect, while emitting a portion of guided color without the need of mechanical perturbations such as surface corrugation or microbending. Intensity of side emission is controlled by varying the number of layers in the Bragg reflector. Emitted color is very stable over time as it is defined by the fiber geometry rather than by spectral content of a light source. Moreover, Bragg fibres can be designed to reflect one color when side illuminated, and to emit another color while transmitting the light. By controlling the relative intensities o… Sponsored by: Physics. Description: Presenter is Dr. Maksim Skorobogatiy from Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal.

Physics Colloquium: "A Physicist's View of Earthquakes"

Campus Activities Abstract: Earthquakes can cause considerable loss of life and property. Unlike hurricanes, fires and floods, earthquakes strike with almost no warning. To forecast earthquakes will require considerable insight into their physics. Tantalizing clues lie in the fact that fault systems appear to be operating near critical points. The evidence for a critical point is in the appearance of scaling laws such as the Gutenburg-Richter power law distribution of the number of earthquakes of magnitude m and the Omori law for the number of aftershocks as a function of time. However, there is also clustering of earthquake events and evidence of an earthquake cycle in which large events cause a lessening of earthquake activity until the system reloads the stress dissipated in the large event. In order to understand these processes we have studied simple models of earthquake fault systems with some surprising results. In this talk I will discuss the physical properties of a certain class of models and the relation of these… Presenter: Dr. William Klein (Boston University). Sponsored by: Physics.
