  1. 16. Quantum optics with artificial atoms

    Författare :Anton Frisk Kockum; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; surface acoustic waves; transmon; circuit QED; photon detector; parity measurement; quantum stochastic calculus; Quantum optics; artificial atoms; quantum measurement;

    Sammanfattning : Quantum optics is the study of interaction between atoms and photons. In the eight papers of this thesis, we study a number of systems where artificial atoms (here, superconducting circuits emulating the level structure of an atom) enable us to either improve on known concepts or experiments from quantum optics with natural atoms, or to explore entirely new regimes which have not been possible to reach in such experiments.

  3. 17. Optical metasurfaces for momentum exchange between light and matter

    Författare :Mohammad Mahdi Shanei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optical forces and torques; phase-gradient metasurface; particle transport; optical momentum exchange; Flat optics; rotary meta-motor; meta-particle;

    Sammanfattning : Light carries energy and momentum that can be transferred to matter. Because of the conservation of total momentum, a change in light momentum due to interaction with an object must be compensated by an equal but opposite change in the momentum of that object. LÄS MER

  4. 18. 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. 20. Methods of Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics for Astronomy

    Författare :Ralf Flicker; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adaptive optics; anisoplanatism; laser guide stars; performance estimation; wavefront reconstruction; extremely large telescopes; optics; Electromagnetism; Elektromagnetism; acoustics; Astronomy; akustik; space research; optik; multi-conjugate; cosmic chemistry; Astronomi; rymdvetenskap; kosmisk kemi; Fysicumarkivet A:2003:Flicker;

    Sammanfattning : This work analyses several aspects of multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) for astronomy. The research ranges from fundamental and technical studies for present-day MCAO projects, to feasibility studies of high-order MCAO instruments for the extremely large telescopes (ELTs) of the future.
