  2. 16. Compact solid-state lasers in the near-infrard and visible spectral range

    Author : Kai Seger; Fredrik Laurell; Uwe Griebner; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; volume Bragg gratings; single-longitudinal-mode laser; laser tuning; Q-switching; mode-locking; carbon nanotubes; semiconductor lasers; neodymium; ytterbium; nonlinear optics; KTP;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is the exploration of new concepts for compact solid-state lasers in the visible and near-infrared spectral range using new components such as volume Bragg gratings for wavelength stabilisation and wavelength tuning. Also single-walled carbon nanotubes for mode-locking and Q-switching of lasers have been studied. READ MORE

  4. 17. Photosensitivity, chemical composition gratings and optical fiber based components

    Author : Michael Fokine; KTH; []
    Keywords : optical fibers; fiber bragg gratings; photosensitivity; thermal stability; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The different topics of this thesis include high-temperaturestable fiber Bragg gratings, photosensitivity and fiber basedcomponents. Fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) are wavelength dispersiverefractive index structures manufactured through UV exposure ofoptical fibers. READ MORE

  5. 18. On diode-pumped solid-state lasers

    Author : Jonas Hellström; Fredrik Laurell; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Klaus Petermann; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; near-infrared lasers; end-pumped lasers; Q-switching; erbium; ytterbium; GdCOB; KGW; KYW; Co:MALO; laser materials; thermal lensing; end-pumping; spectroscopy; conical refraction; volume Bragg gratings; holographic gratings; laser tuning; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The research that is presented in this thesis can be divided into two major parts. The first part concerns longitudinally pumped, bulk Er-Yb lasers. In these lasers, the main limitation is the thermal shortcomings of the phosphate glass host material. READ MORE

  6. 19. Technology for photonic components in silica/silicon material structure

    Author : Lech Wosinski; KTH; []
    Keywords : silica-on-silicon technology; PECVD; plasma deposition; photonic integrated circuits; planar waveguide devices; UV Bragg gratings; photosensitivity; arrayed waveguide gratings; multimode interference couplers; add-drop multiplexers;

    Abstract : The main objectives of this thesis were to develop a lowtemperature PECVD process suitable for optoelectronicintegration, and to optimize silica glass composition forUV-induced modifications of a refractive index in PECVDfabricated planar devices. The most important achievement isthe successful development of a low temperature silicadeposition, which for the first time makes it is possible tofabricate good quality low loss integrated components whilekeeping the temperature below 250oC during the entirefabrication process.

  7. 20. Laser processing of Silica based glass

    Author : Patrik Holmberg; Fredrik Laurell; Valerio Pruneri; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiber Bragg Gratings; photosensitivity; Glass; laser machining; optical fibers; fiber sensor; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The main topic of this thesis work is photosensitivity and photo-structuring of optical fibers and bulk glass. Although research in the field of photosensitivity in glass and optical fibers has been ongoing for more than three decades, the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. READ MORE
