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. Mid-infrared photonic devices for on-chip optical gas sensing
University dissertation from KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyAbstract : Gas detection is crucial in a wide range of fields and applications, such as safety and process control in the industry, atmospheric sciences, and breath diagnostics. Optical gas sensing offers some key advantages, compared to other sensing methods such as electrochemical and semiconductor sensing: high specificity, fast response, and minimal drift. READ MORE

3. 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

5. 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
