  1. 1. On diode-pumped solid-state lasers

    Författare :Jonas Hellström; Fredrik Laurell; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Klaus Petermann; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; near-infrared lasers; end-pumped lasers; Q-switching; erbium; ytterbium; GdCOB; KGW; KYW; Co:MALO; laser materials; thermal lensing; end-pumping; spectroscopy; conical refraction; volume Bragg gratings; holographic gratings; laser tuning; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : The research that is presented in this thesis can be divided into two major parts. The first part concerns longitudinally pumped, bulk Er-Yb lasers. In these lasers, the main limitation is the thermal shortcomings of the phosphate glass host material. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Spectral control of lasers and optical parametric oscillators with volume Bragg gratings

    Författare :Björn Jacobsson; Fredrik Laurell; Uwe Morgner; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; volume Bragg gratings; single-longitudinal-mode laser; laser tuning; erbium; neodymium; ytterbium; nonlinear optics; optical parametric oscillator; KTP; tunable optical parametric oscillator; narrowband optical parametric oscillator; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : I den här avhandlingen visas hur lasrar och optiska parametriska oscillatorer (OPO:er) kan styras spektralt med hjälp av volymbraggitter. Volymbraggitter utgörs av ett periodiskt varierande brytningsindex som skrivits i ett fototermorefraktivt glas. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Thermal properties of volume Bragg gratings and its implications on lasers

    Författare :Staffan Tjörnhammar; Fredrik Laurell; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Mohamed Bourennane; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermal effects; Volume Bragg Gratings; VBG; Lasers;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis contains the results of research on the spectral control of lasers, specifically, the thermal limitations of volume Bragg gratings (VBGs), employed as laser-cavity end mirrors. The investigations consisted of both experiments and numerical simulations. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diode-pumped rare-earth-doped quasi-three-level lasers

    Författare :Stefan Bjurshagen; Fredrik Laurell; Markus Pollnau; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optics; laser optics; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Many rare-earth-doped materials are suitable for laser operation and this thesis focuses on diode-pumped solid-state lasers employing crystals doped with the trivalent rare-earth ions neodymium (Nd3+), ytterbium (Yb3+) and erbium (Er3+). Especially, the quasi-three-level transitions in Nd and Yb have been studied as well as the eye-safe three-level transition around 1. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Novel Technologies for Mode-Locking of Solid-State Lasers

    Författare :Niels Meiser; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Steinmeyer Günter; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser; mode-locked laser; pulsed laser; quantum dot; carbon nanotube; nonlinear optics; saturable absorber; Kerr-lens mode-locking; ultra-fast laser; picosecond laser; pulsed laser; semiconductor saturable absorber;

    Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is the investigation of novel technologies for mode-locking of diode-pumped, solid-state lasers. Novel saturable absorbers are used: quantum dots (QDs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which both are low-dimensional nano-formations. In addition, mode-locking by cascaded nonlinearities is explored.
