2. 1. Novel Technologies for Mode-Locking of Solid-State Lasers

   Author : Niels Meiser; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Steinmeyer Günter; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser; mode-locked laser; pulsed laser; quantum dot; carbon nanotube; nonlinear optics; saturable absorber; Kerr-lens mode-locking; ultra-fast laser; picosecond laser; pulsed laser; semiconductor saturable absorber;

   Abstract : The subject of this thesis is the investigation of novel technologies for mode-locking of diode-pumped, solid-state lasers. Novel saturable absorbers are used: quantum dots (QDs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which both are low-dimensional nano-formations. In addition, mode-locking by cascaded nonlinearities is explored.

4. 2. 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.

5. 3. Nonlinear optical techniques for ultrafast laser diagnostics : Development of femtosecond LIF, LIGS, CARS and backward lasing

   Author : Maria Ruchkina; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser diagnostics; femtosecond laser; nonlinear interactions; ultrafast spectroscopy; multi-photon excitation; laser-induced fluorescence; rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy; laser-induced grating spectroscopy; lasing; backward lasing technique; Fysicumarkivet A:2021:Ruchkina;

   Abstract : The thesis work concerns development and application of four versatile nonlinear optical techniques, based on exploiting ultrashort laser pulses, for diagnostic purposes in gases and flames. The four techniques, all laser-based, are two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (TPLIF), hybrid femtosecond/nanosecond (fs/ns) rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (fs/ns RCARS), fs-laser-induced grating spectroscopy (fs-LIGS), and backward lasing.
