1. 1. Nonlinear Propagation of Optical Pulses and Beams

   Författare :Magnus Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; self-phase modulation; optical wave breaking; paraxial-ray approximation; stimulated Raman scattering; nonlinear Schrödinger equation; optical collapse; modulational instability; higher-order dispersion; optical fibers; saturable nonlinearity; Kerr-nonlinearity; self-trapping; group-velocity dispersion; optical solitons; self-focusing;

   Sammanfattning : The propagation of optical beams and pulses under the influence of nonlinear effects is characterized by a rich variety of phenomena and many potentially important applications. We analyse two main topics in this context: nonlinear beam propagation, and nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents HELIOS, an in-house laboratory for time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy with extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) probe radiation. A wide span of pump wavelengths can be generated using commercial laser equipment while XUV probe radiation is generated via a high harmonic generation process in a noble gas delivering probe photons with energies between 20 eV and 72 eV.
