2. Beyond Traditional Tomography: X-ray Multi-projection Imaging for Additive Manufacturing
University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to push the limits of 3D X-ray imaging by studying the minimum number of projections required to retrieve high-quality reconstructions for additive manufacturing processes. This project first focuses on understanding how X-ray tomography works, by reconstructing additive manufacturing data already obtained (from PSI, TOMCAT beamline) using two standard reconstruction algorithms, GRIDREC and SIRT.

5. Development of a Tunable Frequency Shift Filter Using a Praseodymium Doped Y2SiO5-Crystal
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : In this thesis, a tunable frequency shift filter (FSF) with a 1 ~ 2 MHz passband created in a praseodymium doped Y2SiO5-crystal using a special hole burning technique is developed and tested. The FSF is able to shift the frequency of its passband and the light passing through the passband by applying an external electric field, where the frequency shift is proportional to the applied field.
