2. 1. Compact diode-pumped solid-state lasers

   Author : Stefan Spiekermann; KTH; []
   Keywords : visible lasers; UV lasers; solid-state lasers;

   Abstract : Compact diode-pumped solid-state lasers (DPSSL) arecontinuously replacing traditional gas lasers as well asenabling completely new technology. However, compact and costefficient designs are required to satisfy end-user demands. Theaim of this thesis was therefore to investigate novel laserdesigns for given applications considering these demands. READ MORE

4. 2. Blue Laser Source for Laser-Induced Fluorescence

   Author : Jesper Holm; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Second Harmonic Generation; Lasers; PPKTP; ALA; Tapered laser diodes; External cavity lasers; Laser-induced fluorescence; photodynamic therapy; mTHPC;

   Abstract : Laser-induced fluorescence is a clinical diagnostic tool, used for tumor demarcation and detection. The technique relies on the injection or topical application of a light sensitive drug called a photosensitizer. This substance has the ability to be accumulated to higher concentrations in cancer cells than in normal cells. READ MORE

5. 3. Grating Based Lasers for Photonic Integration and Surface Emission

   Author : Peter Modh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; integrated optics; surface-emitting lasers; laser resonators; optical planar waveguide couplers; unstable-resonator lasers; semiconductor lasers;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the fabrication and characterization of grating-based integration-compatible semiconductor lasers. Waveguide gratings provide feedback for the laser resonators, and are used to diffract the laser output out of the waveguide for surface-emission. READ MORE

6. 4. Laser diode systems for photodynamic therapy and medical diagnostics

   Author : Eva Samsöe Andersen; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quasi-phasematching; photodynamic therapy; laser-induced fluorescence; medical laser systems.; Histology; cytochemistry; histochemistry; tissue culture; Histologi; Laserteknik; Laser technology; cytokemi; histokemi; vävnadskultur; Diagnostik; Diagnostics; second harmonic generation; pulsed lasers; spatial filtering; Diode lasers; optical feedback; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Samsöe Andersen;

   Abstract : This work concerns techniques for improvement of the coherence properties of diode lasers so that they may be used in two specific medical applications: (Interstitial) photodynamic therapy (PDT) and laser-induced fluorescence diagnostics. In the first application, spatial coherence is crucial, since the treatment light should be delivered through relatively thin optical fibers to optimize treatment and to facilitate minimally invasive treatment.

7. 5. Light propagation and photonic functionalization of semi-ordered material (transparent wood)

   Author : Adil Baitenov; Sergei Popov; Sergey Ponomarenko; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; light scattering; scattering material; hierarchical structure; FEM model; wood modification; random lasers; dye lasers; transparent wood; adsorption; diffusive media; Optics and Photonics; Optik och fotonik;

   Abstract : Investigating novel materials requires understanding their chemical and optical properties, which allows for finding their uses through functionalization by chemical modification. In this thesis, we are focusing on a material with high anisotropic scattering - transparent wood. READ MORE
