16. Time-resolved x-ray diffraction of nanostructured samples
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis is based on time-resolved x-ray diffraction studies of InSb (111) samples. The experiments were carried out using a pump-probe configuration using short laser pulses as the pump and x-rays as the probe. Laser excitation leads to the formation of a strain pulse that propagates through the sample. LÄS MER
17. Contributions to the Study of Nonlinear Optics
Sammanfattning : Nonlinear optics, the study of how high intensity light propagates through and interacts with matter, is a subject which is rich in scientific problems and offers many technologically important applications. In this thesis, a number of physical and mathematical problems concerning nonlinear Kerr media are addressed. LÄS MER
18. Characterization of cutaneous oedema : modelling and mesurements methods
Sammanfattning : Three different methods have been developed to characterize oedema. The methods can be applied on any site of the skin to study the effect of oedema on the mechanical properties of the skin. Changes in the viscoelastic properties of the oedematous tissues after treatment can be monitored by these methods. LÄS MER
19. Optical Amplifiers and their Applications in Nonlinear Fiber-Optic Communication Systems
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this dissertation deals with the characterization and modeling of optical amplifiers as well as their applications in nonlinear transmission systems with the main motivation to enhance system capacity. In the first part of the dissertation the work is focused on two different types of amplifiers: the semiconductor laser amplifier (SLA) and the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). LÄS MER
20. Experiments on Laser-Based Particle Acceleration : Beams of Energetic Electrons and Protons
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes experiments involving laser-plasma-based acceleration of electrons and protons, using the techniques of laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) and target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA). By using extremely high accelerating field strengths, up to the order of TV m-1, it is possible to reach high kinetic particle energies over very short distances. LÄS MER
