  1. 1. Pulse Amplitude Reconstruction in the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter Readout

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Aksel Draguanov Mihaylov; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The universe shows signs of containing some invisible matter, known as dark matter. There are many possible constituents for dark matter, one such being light dark matter which would interact with ordinary matter through a new mediator force and have masses in the range of a few MeV to GeV.

  3. 2. Towards a setup for narrowband terahertz generation through difference-frequency mixing of chirped ultrashort pulses

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

    Author : Isa Clementsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Terahertz radiation is a useful tool for inducing lower-energy excitations in matter, where it can be used to cause structural changes through direct interaction with the crystal lattice. Sub-picosecond optical pulses can be used to generate intense broadband terahertz pulses through optical rectification in nonlinear crystals, reaching peak electric fields of several MV/m and conversion efficiencies as high as a few percent.

  4. 3. Harmonic Filters For Electronic Drive Systems Targeting Aircraft Applications

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Emelie Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Active Cancellation Filter; BLDC;

    Abstract : Climate change pressures fossil-driven vehicles into electrification to sustain a healthy planet and environment for its inhabitants. Air traffic contributes to the ongoing climate crisis, and electric aircraft is taking its toll on the avionics market. READ MORE

  5. 4. Time-resolved x-ray diffraction study of longitudinal optical phonons in zincblende semiconductors

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

    Author : Lassi Linnala; [2022]
    Keywords : femtosecond THz radiation; ultrafast x-ray diffraction; pump-probe; longitudinal optical phonons; zincblende semiconductors; anharmonic decay; density functional perturbation theory; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Anharmonic decay of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons in zincblende semiconductors is not at present well characterized due to the polar and many-body nature of the problem. Femtosecond THz radiation offers a novel route to this study, as the interaction of this radiation is directly with the phonon lattice and these THz excited phonons do not have enough energy to excite electrons over the band gap.

  6. 5. 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/Atomfysik

    Author : Daniel Díaz Rivas; [2022]
    Keywords : pulse characterisation; ultrashort; laser; femtosecond; dispersion scan; polarisation; wave plate; temporal reconstruction; electric field reconstruction; time-dependent polarisation; polarisation gate; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : 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
