    Author : Chuanshi Xie; [2023]
    Keywords : Automotive mapping; Erbium emitters; Ion implantation; Lithium niobate on insulator; photoluminescence microscopy; Automatisk kartläggning; Erbium fotonemitterare; Jonimplantation; Litiumniobat på isolator; fotoluminiscensmikroskopi.;

    Abstract : Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is a human-made crystalline which is widely used in modern photonics due to its useful properties. In recent years, there has been significant progress in the development of lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) technology, realizing a fully functional photonic integrated circuits, thanks to its capabilities in both electro-optics and second-order optical nonlinearity.

  3. 2. Correlating Photoconductivity with Photochromism in Oxygen-containing Rare-earth Metal Hydride Thin Films

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

    Author : Suraya Kazi; [2021]
    Keywords : Rare-earth metal hydride; Thin film synthesis; Thin film characterization; Optical properties; Electrical properties; Chemical composition; Photochromic materials; Photoconductivity;

    Abstract : Scientists have recently discovered simultaneous photoconductivity and photochromism (i.e., optical switching upon light exposure) of oxygen-containing rare-earth metal hydrides (REMHO). A deep understanding of these extraordinary optical and electrical properties can open the door to advanced technological uses such as smart windows. READ MORE

  4. 3. Active stabilisation of a micro-sized fibre cavity using tilt locking to enable quantum operations on single ions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Jannek Hansen; [2021]
    Keywords : Quantum computation; optical cavity; microcavity; locking; tilt locking; cavity stabilization; Gaussian-Hermitian modes; quantum computer; higher-order transverse modes; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. READ MORE

  5. 4. A study of the photochromic effect in oxygen containing rare-earth metal hydride thin films and multilayer structures

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Sigurbjörn Már Aðalsteinsson; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this work, we have studied the photochromic response of several oxygen containing rare-earth hydride thin films (REHO, RE = Y, Nd, Gd, and Dy). Their chemical composition was characterized by an iterative multi-method approach based on ion beams, while the photochromic effect was measured by means of optical spectrometry. READ MORE

  6. 5. A Fabry–Pérot Cavity for Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Nanocrystals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Andre Nüsslein; [2019]
    Keywords : Quantum Computer; Rear Earth Ions; Cavity; Laser; Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics; QED; Solidworks; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis work contributes to the effort of detecting single rare earth ions doped into crystals, an operation crucial for the development of rare earth quantum computer hardware. Doping crystals with rare earth elements, their trivalent ions substitute some of the crystal’s original bonds. READ MORE
