Dear all Just a reminder we have Coffee hour now. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Anthrop, Heather L* <hanthrop(a)purdue.edu> Date: Thursday, November 3, 2016 Subject: NSAC Coffee Hour Announcement To: "bnc-all(a)ecn.purdue.edu" <bnc-all(a)ecn.purdue.edu> [image: Inline image 1] We have NSAC Coffee Hour tomorrow at 3:30PM. Please join us in the Birck Atrium at 3:30 for Honggu Choi from Department of Physics. Speaker: Honggu Choi Title of the Talk: "Measurement of the Abraham force density on an Optical waveguide" Venue: BNC Atrium Date: 11/04/2016 Time: 3:30pm Abstract: We would like to demonstrate an optomechanical measurement scheme on the Abraham force density which has been regarded as a vanishing value over time average in optical frequency. We used Adiabatic Mode Transformation(AMT) within an optical fiber so that generated the timely measurable Abraham force density. An optical waveguide with a central hole was partially filled with high refractive index liquid, so propagating light along ring-shaped core strongly interacted with liquid and exerted pulling force upon air-liquid interface. The amount of exerted force was quantitatively measured and its amplitude showed a good agreement with the numerical estimation. While we suppressed the Abraham-Minkowski force density by minimizing electric field upon boundaries, therefore the estimated Abraham-Minkowski force density was less than 5% of the Abraham force density. -- Sajid M Choudhury.

PhD Students Graduating this Year Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane has recently been given authority to hire scientists graduating this year with PhD degrees in science, engineering, physics..... Specifically our Radar Division is looking for graduates with RF background. NSWC Crane is looking to bolster its scientific and technical capabilities. In the last several years NSWC Crane has funded over $6M per year in development projects at Crane for a variety of competencies including new Radar and EW developments. We look to see that funding amount continue and grow in the future. In order to develop the latest technology for the US Navy, we need highly trained and skilled technical folks like yourself and the PhD students you work with. Are you a PhD scientist student graduating now at Purdue, or are graduated, that is interested in developing challenging technology for the US Navy that can start working in January 2017 or earlier? The US Navy offers great starting salaries, excellent benefits and very cool, challenging work. Located on the third largest naval installation in the world, NSWC Crane's total focus is to support the Warfighter by leveraging its technical capabilities for the rapidly changing combat environment. Anchored by technical expertise, a strong work ethic and total lifecycle leadership, NSWC Crane's personnel and preeminent facilities set the standard for excellence in technical developments. NSWC Crane provides comprehensive technical support for complex military systems spanning design, development, deployment and sustainment in three focus areas: Electronic Warfare, Strategic Missions and Special Missions. NSWC Crane's skilled professionals put technical solutions directly into the hands of the Warfighter, ensuring safer missions. Our broad customer base includes the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, United States Special Operations Command, Coast Guard, NASA, and many other military, civilian, and foreign military organizations. NSWC Crane and Fallbrook Detachment (Fallbrook, California) is one of Indiana's largest high-tech employers with over 2,000 scientists, engineers and technicians. NSWC Crane's reach is global, and at any given time, hundreds of its more than 3,100 employees are supporting the Warfighter around the world. Let me know if you are a current or past PhD student that is looking for a challenging career with the US Navy. Potential candidates can forward their resume to me and I will forward to our S&T Division. http://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Warfare-Centers/NSWC-Crane/Career-Opportuni… Thanks, Matt Walsh Matthew.r.walsh(a)navy.mil<mailto:Matthew.r.walsh@navy.mil>
