Matlab scripts
- On September 12th, 2008, my script tts.m (the name stands for text-to-speech) was chosen as the "Pick of the Week" in the Mathworks File Exchange Blog.
Stereoview is a MatlabŪ script for the stereoscopic visualization of any 3D plot.
Here is a screenshot of the version 5.0:
The plot is taken from the MatlabŪ exempla; my script is able to draw it in a stereoscopic pair.
You can download the last version of the script here: Stereoview.
Enchiridion
Some notes about various physics arguments. I've written or collected these notes during time, thus exactness is not assured.
PhD Thesis (2003) :
"POLARIZATION AND PHOTOREFRACTIVE GRATINGS IN HYBRID SOL-GEL FILMS" (language: italian)
Qui Relazioni del lavoro di dottorato per l'anno 2000/01 (ITA).
Graduate Thesis (1999) :
"DR1 DOPED HYBRID SOL-GEL FILMS: PHOTOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE DYE, PHOTOINDUCED BIREFRINGENCE AND HOLOGRAPHIC GRATINGS" (language: italian)
My thesis is involved with the study of thin films based on ORganically MOdified SILanes (ormosils) and pure silica and doped with the azo-dye Disperse Red 1. The study consists in:
- a Raman characterization of the dye,
- a series of measurements of the birefringence photoinduced on the samples,
- the creation of transient and permanent holographic gratings in the thin films.
