1. 1. Spectral Management in Quasi-Phase-Matched Parametric Devices

   Författare :Mikael Tiihonen; Fredrik Laurell; Jean-Jaques Zondy; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optical parametric devices; nonlinear optics; ultraviolet generation; mid-infrared generation; optical parametric oscillator; optical parametric generator; optical parametric amplifier; Optical physics; Optisk fysik;

   Sammanfattning : Nonlinear optical interaction in quasi-phase-matched structures opens up unique possibilities to build compact and efficient parametric devices such as optical parametric oscillators, generators, and amplifiers with tailored spectral properties. The focus of this thesis is on novel parametric interactions with periodically-poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) as the parametric gain medium. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves are important as carriers of energy and information. This thesis is devoted to the study of the propagation and interaction of these waves in plasmas, with emphasis on nonlinear effects and applications within astrophysics. LÄS MER

4. 3. Nonlinear Theory of Partially Coherent Optical Waves

   Författare :Tobias Hansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nonlinear optics; partial coherence; beam collapse; saturable logarithmic media; soliton interaction; dressing method; parabolic beams; Wigner transform; invariants; modulational instability;

   Sammanfattning : Nonlinear effects arise in optics as a consequence of the medium properties being modified by the presence of light. Of particular interest are situations where the effect of the nonlinearity can be described by an intensity dependent refractive index and the subsequent interplay with dispersion and diffraction.

5. 4. Optical Phase Conjugation and All-Optical Demultiplexing using Four-Wave Mixing in Dispersion Shifted Fibers

   Författare :Per Olof E Hedekvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dispersion compensation; nonlinear fiber optics; high-speed communication; four-wave mixing; parametric amplification; noise figure; wavelength conversion; optical phase conjugation; all-optical demultiplexer; mid-span spectral inversion;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with two applications of four-wave mixing in optical dispersion-shifted fibers; optical phase conjugation and all-optical switching. The work is a part of an effort to study the upgradability of the existing fiber plant, which is of large economic interest. LÄS MER

7. 5. Nonlinear Dynamics of Coherent and Partially Coherent Optical Waves

   Författare :Tobias Hansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soliton interaction; Wigner transform; logarithmically saturable media; Nonlinear Schrödinger equation; parabolic beams; partial coherence; quasilinear diffusion; modulational instability;

   Sammanfattning : In optics an important nonlinear effect is manifested by the fact that the refractive index, in addition to its frequency dependence, also depends on the intensity of the light. Nonlinear effects are present within a wide range of optical applications e.g. the fast growing fields of fiber-optic communication and all-optical signal processing. LÄS MER
