1. Nanosecond tandem optical parametric oscillators for mid-infrared generation
University dissertation from Stockholm : KTHAbstract : This thesis discusses a new scheme for generating radiation in the mid infrared spectral region, especially the 3.5-5 µm range. The scheme uses established Nd3+-lasers at 1.06 µm and down conversion in nonlinear optical crystals. READ MORE

2. Spectral Management in Quasi-Phase-Matched Parametric Devices
University dissertation from Stockholm : KTHAbstract : Nonlinear optical interaction in quasi-phase-matched structures opens up unique possibilities to build compact and efficient parametric devices such as optical parametric oscillators, generators, and amplifiers with tailored spectral properties. The focus of this thesis is on novel parametric interactions with periodically-poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) as the parametric gain medium. READ MORE

4. The cosmic origin of fluorine and sulphur: Infrared spectroscopic studies of red giants
University dissertation from Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, Lund UniversityAbstract : Disregarding the small primordial traces of the lightest elements, all metals have been formed in stellar processes, which means that the relative amount of metals in the Universe increases for every stellar generation. This build-up of elements is called chemical evolution and might be used both to constrain stellar models as well as understanding the formation and evolution of stellar populations. READ MORE

5. Optical Parametric Devices in Periodically Poled LiTaO3
University dissertation from Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyAbstract : Optical parametric frequency conversion based on quasi phase matching (QPM) in nonlinear optical crystals is a powerful technique for generating coherent radiation in wavelength ranges spanning from the mid-infrared (mid-IR) to the blue, displaying low thermal load and high efficiency.This thesis shows how QPM in one- (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) lattices can be employed to engineer novel devices for parametric downconversion in the IR, af-fording freedom in designing both spectral and angular properties of the parametric output.
