  1. 1. Characterization and Stabilization of Transverse Spatial Modes of Light in Few-Mode Optical Fibers

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Informationskodning

    Author : Oscar Pihl; [2023]
    Keywords : spatial modes; Space division multiplexing; SDM; superpositions; LP-modes; few-mode fibers; quantum communication; quantum optics; adaptive optics; stochastic parallel gradient descent; SPGD; mode control; QKD; polarization controller; paddle controller; QRNG; quantum random number generator; spatial modes; perturbation effects;

    Abstract : With the growing need for secure and high-capacity communications, innovative solutions are needed to meet the demands of tomorrow. One such innovation is to make use of the still unutilized spatial dimension of light in communications, which has promising applications in both enabling higher data traffic as well as the security protocols of the future in quantum communications.

  3. 2. Focal Spot Optimization Using Spatial Light Modulation and a Phase Retrieval Algorithm

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

    Author : Robert Petersen; [2023]
    Keywords : Spatial Light Modulation; Phase Retrieval Algorithm; Focal Spot Optimization; Adaptive Optics; Wavefront Sensing; Lasers; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Aberrations to the wavefront of a laser beam reduce the quality of the focal spot and are generally undesired. This project is aimed at determining the aberrations of laser beams by using a phase retrieval algorithm and to show that it is possible to correct the aberrations with a spatial light modulator to optimize the focal spot.

  4. 3. Towards a high resolution view of infrared line formation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Martin Schmidt Montelius; [2021]
    Keywords : Spectroscopy; Near infrared; K giants; Galactic archeaology; Galactic chemical evolution; Abundances; Milky Way; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Observing in the infrared has many benefits, such as seeing through the interstellar dust in the galaxy, easier use of adaptive optics, and better flux ratios for direct observations of exoplanets. Before the infrared spectral range can be utilised for highly accurate stellar spectroscopy there is a need for a better understanding of both stellar modelling and the atomic physics that go into forming spectral lines.

  5. 4. Wavefront Sensor with Astigmatism Correction for Measurements on the Human Eye

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mei-Li Holmberg; Linnea Johansson; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : When conducting experiments on the human eye it is sometimes required to correct some form of astigmatism. A fexible and cost effective way to achieve this is using two identical cross-cylinder lenses, as described in the article ‘Adaptive Astigmatism-Correcting Device for Eyepieces' by Arines and Acosta.

  6. 5. Implementation of adaptive optics into a femtosecond laser chain

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Sandhra-Mirella Valdma; [2015]
    Keywords : wavefornt correction; deformable mirror; femtosecond laser; wavefront sensor; shack-hartmann; adaptive optics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Optical aberrations are the main cause for reduced focusability and low peak intensity in laser beams. All the applications that rely on high peak power and/or small focus spot size, loose efficiency when optical aberrations are present. READ MORE
