Characterization of Transmission Gratings in Photorefractive Materials
Diego Figueroa, Austin Scott, and Partha Banerjee
Measuring the transmitted and diffracted beam powers while writing and/or probing the grating with a writing or probe beam is a simple characterization method of transmission gratings. The transmission grating is written in a doped lithium niobate crystal using an argon laser beam of 514.5 nm wavelength. This transmission grating is probed using a helium-neon 632.6 nm laser beam at appropriate Bragg incidence. By scanning the probe beam across the grating, the transmission grating profile can be characterized. The two-beam coupling process is shown in Figure 1 and is due to the space charge field set up in a photorefractive material as shown in Figure 2

Beyond the Barrel: Understanding the Complexities of Gun Violence in the United States
Jonathan Flores
The phenomenon of gun violence is a highly politicized and contentious issue in the United States. With instances of gun violence, such as school shootings, on the rise in recent years, and the media coverage on them, I wanted to investigate the contemptible issue of gun violence between the states of the country. Namely, I aimed to investigate the influence of politics on gun violence, to see if the political nature of states has an effect on gun violence. Research Hypothesis: There is a relationship between the political affiliation of states such that the more Democratic a state is, the less gun violence they have.

Does Somone’s Sex Affect Abortion Beliefs in the United States
Osondra J. Fournier-Colón
Abortions is a medical procedure used to terminate pregnancy whether it be for medical issues or unwanted pregnancy. The procedure effects those who are female, not males. Therefore, since the female sex is the one being affected it may also affect the beliefs made on abortion based on one’s sex.

Nookipedia
Shyann Francis
Animal Crossing involves managing around 9000 items within a gameplay environment. This abundance of items makes it difficult for players to effectively track progress and navigate through their possessions. The primary motivation of Nookipedia is to enhance overall gameplay experience by streamlining achievement management, thereby reducing unnecessary interactions with non-playable characters (NPCs) and enabling players to focus more on core game activities. By improving inventory organization and reducing clutter, the aim is to create a smoother and more immersive gaming experience for players.
