  2. 16. 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

  4. 17. VCSEL Techniques for Wavelength-Multiplexed Optical Interconnects

    Author : Mehdi Jahed; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; silicon photonic integration; vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser; transverse and polarization mode filter; optical interconnect; distributed Bragg reflector.; wavelengthmultiplexing;

    Abstract : The majority of global data communication is taking place within data centers where data is stored and processed and where the largest part of the power used for global networking is consumed. With the rapidly increasing use of Internet-based applications and services, data centers are equipped with a larger number of servers and switches requiring higher bandwidth connectivity. READ MORE

  5. 18. Silicon-based Photonic Devices : Design, Fabrication and Characterization

    Author : Ziyang Zhang; Min Qiu; Thomas Koch; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photonic Devices; Silicon Photonics; Parallel Computation; Nanofabrication; Electron Beam Lithography; Optical Characterisation; Optics; Optik;

    Abstract : The field of Information and Communication Technologies is witnessing a development speed unprecedented in history. Moore’s law proves that the processor speed and memory size are roughly doubling each 18 months, which is expected to continue in the next decade. READ MORE

  6. 19. Fabrication and Charaterisation of Photonic Integrated Circuits

    Author : Harendra Fernando; KTH; []
    Keywords : Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition PECVD ; Reactive Ion Etching RIE ; Photosensitivity; Bragg-gratings; Optical Add-drop De Multiplexsers;

    Abstract : The past few decades have seen an explosive increase ininformation transfer, fuelled by the enormous growth of theInternet, telecommunication applications, and mass mediasystems in general. Because of the very high bandwidthpotential promised by optical fibre communication technology,the area of all-optical networking has received a great amountof attention. READ MORE

  7. 20. Integrated Optical Slot-Waveguide Ring Resonator Sensor Arrays for Lab-on-Chip Applications

    Author : Kristinn Björgvin Gylfason; Göran Stemme; Hans Sohlström; Peter Bienstman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biosensor; label-free biosensing; ring resonator; optical waveguide; lab-on-a-chip; Electronic measurement and instrumentation; Elektronisk mät- och apparatteknik; Photonics; Fotonik;

    Abstract : This thesis treats the development of an integrated optical sensor array. The sensors are slot-waveguide ring resonators, integrated with on-chip surface grating couplers and light splitters, for alignment tolerant, real-time, refractive index sensing, and label-free biosensing.
