This page represents a ongoing project dealing with using interference patterns to map the surface of a diamond wafer. Since this is my first page, you'll have to excuse any blatant errors that I do not pick up on immediately. Currently this page will represent my work with Dr. Richard Jones on an model of the beam splitter featured in the Michelson interferometer. I will start by giving a brief introduction to electromagnetic radiation, then move on to the model itself (including graphs,etc.).

This project was written up and submitted by Matthew Demas as an honors thesis. With this thesis, Matthew graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Physics with distinction. The submitted thesis, entitled [http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/diamonds/MattDemasThesis-5-2008.pdf Analysis of Synthetic Diamond Wafer Interferograms Using a Parallel Simulated Annealing Algorithm], was submitted on May 17, 2008.
