  1. 1. 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.

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Daniel Edström; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Large Hadron Collider, LHC, at CERN is capable of producing proton-proton collisions at a total energy of 14 TeV. Four principal detectors are installed in the LHC to detect the various particles created in the collisions. READ MORE
