  • American Geophysical Union Re
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD 20771 September 12, 2016 Reply to Attn of: 140 TO: Distribution FROM: 140/Chief Counsel SUBJECT: Determination Regarding Attendance ofNASA Employees at American Geophysical Union Reception The American Geophysical Union (AGU), a non-profit organization under section 50l(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is hosting a reception on September 14, 2016, at their facility in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the reception is to honor and recognize outgoing AGU president Marcia McNutt and her new role as President of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Approximately 70 guests have been invited to the reception from academia, Federal agencies, AGU, NAS, and colleagues of Dr. McNutt. The estimated cost per person of the reception is $75. Attendance at the reception will allow NASA employees an opportunity to discuss with other guests issues concerning NASA's programs and missions. Based on the above, I find that the event meets the requirements of a ''widely attended gathering" as defined in 5 CFR 2635.204(g). I further find that there is an Agency interest in having NASA employees attend this event. Accordingly, NASA employees whose duties do not substantially affect AGU or a majority of its members, including NASA employees who are in non-career positions for which they are required to sign an ethics pledge under Executive Order 13490, may accept an invitation for free attendance to the reception for themselves and a guest. However, NASA employees whose duties substantially affect AGU or a majority of its members, for instance by way of procurement duties, should seek an individual determination regarding participation in ~ event from tl,leir local ethics counselor.

  • The Physics of Negative Refraction and Transformation Optics
    The Physics of Negative Refraction and Transformation Optics by Wei Hsiung Wee Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Condensed Matter Theory Group Department of Physics Imperial College London June 2011 Declaration of Originality This thesis is a result of the author’s own work. All other work contained within are appropriately referenced to the best of the author’s knowledge. Abstract Whilst optics is one of the oldest field in science, there are still aspects of electromag- netism that we are only beginning to uncover. For instance, it was demonstrated that materials with simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability exhibit certain exotic behavior; where familiar physical phenomena, such as refraction, are reversed. As such, these materials came to be known as negative refractive index materials (NRIM) and their collective properties as negative refraction. One of the most important and remarkable property of NRIM is perfect lensing - the ability to transport both supra and sub-wavelength optical information from one surface (ob- ject plane) to another (image plane), forming images with unprecedented resolution, beyond the diffraction limit. Perfect lensing itself is a consequence of deeper sym- metries in electromagnetism, encapsulated in the language of transformation optics - with which we have both a descriptive tool to unify diverse electromagnetic con- figuarations, as well as a prescriptive tool to design media which bends light at will. While, such transformation medium and NRIM have been demonstrably realised using metamaterials, several challenges remain, of which loss is the major challenge. It is therefore under this trinity of concepts: metamaterials, negative refraction and transformation optics that this thesis is presented.
