Term paper: reading list and suggested topics
Term projects will involve an in-class oral presentation (~15 minutes) and a written
report (10-12 pages assuming line spacing of 1.5, including figures and bibliography). Both will
be due last week of classes. You will pick your own topic (with my consent). To aid you in
selecting a topic, I have provided a list of suggested (not exhaustive) topics as well as a list of
reading resources that hit current research topics. You may choose a topic from my list or come
up with your own topic. One rule: you should NOT do your class project on your current thesis
topic.
•
To make sure you are starting on the project, I will require a proposed title and a short abstract
by Monday, November 4 (However, I prefer that you hand this in earlier to reserve your
topic!)
•
At least broadly, your topic must be relevant to ultrafast optics.
•
To avoid repetition in oral presentations, any given topic may be taken by at most one student.
I will be the judge of what is or is not too close.
•
I would like your report to include discussion of the important physical principles relevant to
your topic, which hopefully will relate at least in part to principles discussed in our course.
You should also try to explain what the problem or goal of the research is, why (or if) it is
exciting, and what the state of the art of this field is. Optionally, if some idea for some
simulation work related to your topic occurs to you, I would encourage you to include some
simulation results – but this is not required.
•
In most cases there should be at least 10 entries in your bibliography. One good resource is
the electronic database and search tool called the Web of Science, which is available on the
web from the Purdue Library for technical journal articles. Also Google Scholar.
• Please be sure to look for recent work on your topic. You should not base your whole paper
on “old” references without making sure you are aware of and can discuss newest work on
your topic.
Some suggested topics (not exhaustive; you may also identify a different topic):
•

Recent top download lists
One source of work drawing significant recent interest is lists of top-downloaded papers. The
Optical Society of America (OSA) compiles and makes available various lists of top downloaded
papers in selected subjects in OSA journals. Recently they compiled a list of top downloaded
ultrafast optics papers in the last two years from Advances in Optics and Photonics, Optics
Letters, and Journal of the Optical Society of America B. At my request they compiled a similar
list of top downloaded ultrafast optics papers from another OSA journal, Optics Express. Both
lists (which are attached) may offer some current ideas for your term paper. (Note: the links
seem to work, but if there is a problem, papers should be available online through Purdue
Libraries.)
