  2. 1. Temporal Aspects of High-Intensity Laser-Matter Interactions

    Author : Johan Mauritsson; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Particle Acceleration; Laser technology; Relativistic Self-Focusing; High-Intensity Lasers; Attosecond Pulses; Pulse Characterization; XUV; High-Order Harmonics; Ultrashort Pulses; Laserteknik; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; Fysicumarkivet A:2003:Mauritsson;

    Abstract : The availability of short-pulse, high-intensity lasers has opened doors to new areas in atomic and plasma physics. The short pulses (a few femtoseconds), that are available today, enable unprecedented temporal measurements, while the high peak power accessible (several terawatts) allows physicists to study the interaction between light and relativistic plasmas.

  4. 2. Generation of coherent short-wavelength radiation --- High-order harmonics and x-ray lasers

    Author : Tomas Starczewski; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atomic and molecular physics; short-wavelength radiation; coherence; high-intensity lasers; high-order harmonics; x-ray lasers; Atom- och molekylärfysik;

    Abstract : The recent availability of short-pulse, high-intensity, compact lasers has opened doors to new and fascinating areas in atomic physics. Using the Lund Terawatt Laser, the interaction of femtosecond, near-infrared and visible laser radiation with matter at intensities in the range 1013--1017 W/cm2 was studied. READ MORE

  5. 3. Creating and Probing Extreme States of Materials : From Gases and Clusters to Biosamples and Solids

    Author : Bianca Iwan; Nicusor Timneanu; Janos Hajdu; Stacey Sorensen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free-electron laser; ultrashort X-rays; non-equilibrium plasma; Coulomb explosion; isotope effect; hydrodynamic expansion; ion acceleration; high intensity lasers; ablation; time-of-flight spectroscopy; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Free-electron lasers provide high intensity pulses with femtosecond duration and are ideal tools in the investigation of ultrafast processes in materials. Illumination of any material with such pulses creates extreme conditions that drive the sample far from equilibrium and rapidly convert it into high temperature plasma. READ MORE

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

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diode-pumped Nd : YAG lasers for generation of blue light by frequency doubling

    Author : Stefan Bjurshagen; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Quasi-three-level lasers in neodymium-doped crystals such asNd:YAG, Nd:YLF and Nd:YVO4have received a great deal of interest becausethey allow generation of blue light by frequency doubling. Forsolid-state blue laser sources, there exist numerousapplications as in high-density optical data storage, colourdisplays, submarine communication and biologicalapplications. READ MORE
