Monthly personal essay column 'AT RANDOM' in the Iowa City Press Citizen |
|
|
A collection of fifty one-page stories (flash fiction) |
|
|
A sonnet cyclus 'Poor Ashley' about an erudite female bear. |
|
|
An electronic book: MODERN OPTICS for the web and eventually CD ROM (The electronic scripting is being done by my student Ann Black.) |
|
|
A second edition of ACOUSTO-OPTICS (Marcel Dekker,1988) to appear at the end of 1996 |
I am putting the highlighted items on the web, not because of an excess of hubris, but rather to sollicit comments. This is particularly useful to me in the case of the , MODERN OPTICS book, because this is under construction and can be modified on the fly. ( Right now, I am not even sure that an electronic book is a good idea ).
Although copyright provisions apply, I have no objections to portions of the material being copied, provided due credit is given on every copy (© Adrian Korpel, 19..), and the copies are not sold.
For those interested in my professional qualifications, I have attached a bibliography and a list of patents. My scientific career is documented in my biography.
My fiction and poetry have been published in , Scholia Satyrica, Riverrun, Lyrical Iowa, Mind in Motion, Eureka, Blink, The North American Review, and in the Iowa City anthology "And No One Would Eat Tomatoes "(Kalevala Books).
What I condider to be my most significant inventions (or at least the ones that gave me most satisfaction) are:
|
|
Non-reciprocal parametric amplifiers (2) |
|
|
Laser generation and amplification of sound (7) |
|
|
Laser-scanned TV (13) |
|
|
Laser-scanned acoustic camera and microscope (17, 32) |
|
|
Laser probes for two- and three dimensional sound fields (24, 33) |
|
|
Laser probe for light field cross-sections (25) |
|
|
Acoustic imaging by Bragg-diffracted light (14) |
|
|
Time-frequency interchange in TV (20) |
|
|
Signal processing by laser heterodyning (21) |
|
|
Electronic holography (72) |
The numbers refer to the bibliography.
Theories I had most fun developing are:
|
|
Plane wave theories of acousto-optic interaction (62, 102) |
|
|
Ray theories of acousto-optic interaction (22) |
|
|
The Quasi-theorem of waveform conservation (Acousto-optics, Marcel Dekker, 1988; 2nd edition Oct. 1996) |
|
|
Feynman diagram formalism of acousto-optic interaction (70) |
|
|
The real-exponential theory of solition formation (61) |
