1. 1. Test and Calibration of CUBES: a CubeSat X-ray Detector

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Caroline Holmberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Applied Physics; Astroparticle Physics; Tillämpad fysik; Astropartikelfysik;

   Abstract : CUBES is an X-ray detector that will be placed aboard the KTH 3U CubeSat mission, MIST. Its purpose is to detect high energy X-rays as well as to test various components in a space environment. Two CUBES will be placed on the satellite. Each CUBES consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with three multi pixel photon counters (MPPCs). READ MORE

3. 2. Software Development and Qualification Testing of a CubeSat X-ray Monitor

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

   Author : Marcus Persson; [2019]
   Keywords : embedded software; cubesat; software; firmware; cubes; mist; x-ray; fpga; asic; weeroc;

   Abstract : The CUBES (CUbesat x-ray Background Explorer using Scintillators) is a payload on the KTH student satellite MIST (MIniature STudent satellite) to evaluate Silicon Photo-multiplier technology and new scintillators such as GAGG (Gadolinium Aluminium Gallium Garnet, Gd3Al2Ga3O12) for future use in hard X-ray polarisation studies of Gamma-Ray Bursts. CUBES itself is designed to study the MIST in-orbit radiation environment by using a detector which is comprised of a silicon photomultiplier coupled to different scintillator materials. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluation of white-light generation as possible seed for a mid-infrared optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier

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

   Author : Chuang Lu; [2017]
   Keywords : nonlinear linear optics; ultrafast optics; Mid-infrared generation; near-infrared; Optical parametric amplification; Optical Parametric Chirped-pulse Amplification; supercontinuum generation; white-light generation; laser induced filamentation; Dispersion-scan; nonlinear propagation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : White-light spectra of different crystals, based on 1030-nm intense pump pulses have been investigated in order to derive a near-infrared seed for mid-infrared generation. Among ten crystals, YAG (yttrium aluminium garnet), KGW (potassium gadolinium tungstate) and YVO4 (yttrium orthovanadate) exhibit the most suitable properties for supercontinuum generation with high efficiency for spectral broadening as well as high tolerance to optical damage.
