I joined the BYU Department of Physics and Astronomy in 2004.  Previously, I worked in the correlated photon radiometry group at NIST for several years.  My research specialty is the study of optical effects in the single-photon regime. My contact information can be found in the department directory.

Here are some neat photographs of downconversion that were taken at NIST. 

1. Photographs of downconversion using a 351 nm Argon laser pumping a KDP crystal. The angle of the pump laser with the optic axis is indicated in the upper left hand corner. (Windows Video Format)
2. Photographs of downconversion being reflected off of a diffraction grating to display the "phasematching curve". (Windows Video Format)
