  1. 16. Highly efficient optical parametric oscillators in the mid-IR

    Författare :Nicky Thilmann; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Fredrik Laurell; Klaus Boller; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis shows how sources of coherent radiation in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region can be enhanced. To achieve this, optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) employing improved novel materials, new optical elements, and novel cavity designs have been implemented. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Characterization of domain switching and optical damage properties in ferroelectrics

    Författare :Junji Hirohashi; Fredrik Laurell; Ady Arie; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quasi-phase matching; ferroelectric domains; stoichiometric LiNbO3; stoichiometric LiTaO3; KTiOPO4; KNbO3; polarization switching; periodic electric field poling; optical damages; Optical physics; Optisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Nonlinear optical frequency conversion is one of the most important key techniques in order to obtain lasers with wavelengths targeted for specific applications. In order to realize efficient and tailored lasers, the quasi-phase-matching (QPM) approach using periodically-poled ferroelectric crystals is getting increasingly important. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Compact diode-pumped solid-state lasers

    Författare :Stefan Spiekermann; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :visible lasers; UV lasers; solid-state lasers;

    Sammanfattning : Compact diode-pumped solid-state lasers (DPSSL) arecontinuously replacing traditional gas lasers as well asenabling completely new technology. However, compact and costefficient designs are required to satisfy end-user demands. Theaim of this thesis was therefore to investigate novel laserdesigns for given applications considering these demands. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Ferroelectric domain engineering and characterization for photonic applications

    Författare :Simonetta Grilli; Fredrik Laurell; Wolfgang Sohler; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LiNbO; KTiOPO; interferometry; digital holography; electric field poling; electro-optic materials; holographic lithography; ferroelectric domains; nanostructures; microstructures; Optical physics; Optisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and KTiOPO4 (KTP) are ferroelectric crystals of considerable interest in different fields of optics and optoelectronics. Due to its large values of the nonlinear optical, electro-optic (EO), piezoelectric and acousto-optical coefficients, LiNbO3 is widely used for laser frequency conversion using the quasiphase matching (QPM) approach where the sign of nonlinearity has been periodically modulated by electric field poling (EFP).

  7. 20. Optical parametric amplification with periodically poled KTiOPO4

    Författare :Anna Fragemann; Fredrik Laurell; Ebrahim-Zadeh Majid; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonlinear optics; optical parametric amplification; optical parametric generation; optical parametric oscillation; Optical physics; Optisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the use of engineered nonlinear crystals from the KTiOPO4 (KTP) family as the gain material in optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs), with the aim to achieve more knowledge about the benefits and limitations of these devices. The work aims further at extending the possible applications of OPAs by constructing and investigating several efficient and well performing amplifiers. LÄS MER
