1. Measuring the Pulse Duration and the Time-Dependent Polarisation State of Ultrashort Laser Pulses with the D-Scan Technique
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/AtomfysikAbstract : Ultrashort laser pulses with time-dependent polarisation states have many applications, such as the generation of isolated attosecond pulses and the study of the optical chirality of molecules. In this project the polarisation gate, built from two quarter-wave plates of different orders, is thoroughly characterised in experiment and simulation. READ MORE

2. Dispersion management and characterization of ultrashort laser pulses for the optimization of parametric processes
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : This thesis set out to continue the development of a short-wave infrared (SWIR) optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The system is based on a Yb-ber chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser delivering 400 fs long pulses, centered around 1030 nm, at 200 kHz repetition rate and 40 W average power. READ MORE

3. Investigating Optical-Field-Induced Currents in GaN using Ultrafast Lasers
University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : This study saw the development of an experimental setup capable of generating and measuring optical-field-induced currents in a variety of nanodevices fabricated specifically for this project. Each device design features two metallic contacts, closely separated by about 5 micrometers, deposited onto a semiconductor or insulator substrate. READ MORE

4. Design and Commissioning of an Ionization Intensity Monitor
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The dynamics of molecules and electrons takes place on timescales of femtoseconds and attoseconds, respectively. This requires ultrashort and intense extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to be able to study them. READ MORE

5. All solid state single-shot Dispersion scan (D-Scan) for ultrashort laser pulses
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Ultrashort laser pulses play an important role in many applications in science and technology, from attosecond science to time resolved spectroscopy and material processing. For applications of ultrashort laser pulses, it requires a complete characterization of the electric field of the pulse, which includes both phase and amplitude of the electric field. READ MORE
