  2. 1. Partially Coherent Laser Radiation - Modeling and Application to Optical Microlithography

    Author : Christer Rydberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microlithography; coherence; temporal speckle; partial coherence; optical propagation; number of degrees of freedom; dynamic speckle;

    Abstract : This work deals with a type of light that has properties somewhere between blackbody radiation and conventional laser light; such light is referred to as partially coherent. One example is the radiation from the pulsed excimer laser, which is used in the manufacturing of most of the worlds integrated circuits. READ MORE

  4. 2. Statistical optics and optical elements for microtechnologies: Partial coherence, lithography and microlenses

    Author : Christer Rydberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; inverse methods; microlenses; optical propagation; partial coherence; dynamic speckle; lithography;

    Abstract : The scientific problems treated in this thesis are expressed within the framework ofstatistical optics and are generated out of the optical lithography industry. Opticallithography uses partially coherent light, i.e. light with a random wavefront, toincrease the performance of the lithographic process. READ MORE

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

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  6. 4. Axicon imaging by scalar diffraction theory

    Author : Anna Burvall; KTH; []
    Keywords : axicons; diffractive optics; coherence; asymptotic methods; communication modes; information content; inverse problems;

    Abstract : Axicons are optical elements that produce Bessel beams,i.e., long and narrow focal lines along the optical axis. Thenarrow focus makes them useful ine. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nonlinear Theory of Partially Coherent Optical Waves

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

    Abstract : 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.
