  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 2D-material nanocomposites with nonlinear optical properties for laser protection

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Nils Ross; [2021]
    Keywords : optical power limiting; OPL; laser protection; nanocomposites; 2D-materials; graphene oxide; MXene; Ti3C2; melting gel; graphene; two-dimensional materials; nonlinear optical properties; NLO; spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Lasers are increasingly used for a wide range of different applications for both civil and military purposes. Due to the distinct properties of laser light, use of lasers often comes with a risk of damage to the human eye and other optical sensors. Therefore, an effective laser protection is needed.

  4. 3. Noncollinear optical parametric amplification of a supercontinuum

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

    Author : Henrik Åkesson; [2019]
    Keywords : optical parametric amplification; supercontinuum generation; nonlinear optics; laser pulse compression; lasers; optics; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : During this thesis, work has been done towards realizing a short-wave infrared (SWIR) laser source based on optical parametric amplification. It is planned that this setup should be able to produce few-cycle laser pulses at 2μm with a stable carrier-envelope phase (CEP). READ MORE

  5. 4. The Spatial Properties of the Beam Profile of an OPCPA

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

    Author : Mattias Bengtsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Laser; OPCPA; Imaging Spectrometer; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : OPCPA stands for optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification. It is a nonlinear method for amplifying broadband laser beams. The spatial properties of the output of the laser beam depends on the amplification method itself and the broadband configuration. READ MORE

  6. 5. Temporal Characterization and Intensity Contrast Improvement of Few-cycle Laser Pulses

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Xiaoying Zhang; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Due to the unique combination of properties of high intensity and few optical cycle pulse duration, the ultrashort laser pulses have widespread applications in pump-probe spectroscopy and laser-plasma interaction. Correspondingly, it is critical to precisely measure the electric field in the temporal or spectral domain. READ MORE
