    • Living lasers : lasing from biological and biocompatible soft matter 

      Karl, Markus (University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - Thesis
      In recent years, the study of stimulated emission from and by biological systems has gained wide spread attention as a promising technology platform for novel biointegrated laser. However, the photonic properties and the ...

    • A portable, low-cost system for optical explosive detection based on a CMOS camera 

      Gillanders, Ross; Samuel, Ifor David William; Turnbull, Graham Alexander; Campbell, Iain Angus (SciTePress, 2016-02-29) - Conference item
      Humanitarian demining requires a variety of methods and instrumentation for effective mine clearance, since a wide range of materials are used in mine manufacturing. However, landmines release vapours over time that can ...

    • Ultracold atoms in flexible holographic traps 

      Bowman, David (University of St Andrews, 2018-06-27) - Thesis
      This thesis details the design, construction and characterisation of an ultracold atoms system, developed in conjunction with a flexible optical trapping scheme which utilises a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator (LC ...

    • The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey : measuring H(z) and DA(z) at z = 0.57 with clustering wedges 

      Kazin, Eyal A.; Sánchez, Ariel G.; Cuesta, Antonio J.; Beutler, Florian; Chuang, Chia-Hsun; Eisenstein, Daniel J.; Manera, Marc; Padmanabhan, Nikhil; Percival, Will J.; Prada, Francisco; Ross, Ashley J.; Seo, Hee-Jong; Tinker, Jeremy; Tojeiro, Rita; Xu, Xiaoying; Brinkmann, J.; Joel, Brownstein; Nichol, Robert C.; Schlegel, David J.; Schneider, Donald P.; Thomas, Daniel (2013-10-11) - Journal article
      We analyse the 2D correlation function of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS sample of massive galaxies of the ninth data release to measure cosmic expansion H and the ...

    • The power spectrum from the angular distribution of galaxies in the CFHTLS-Wide fields at redshift ~0.7 

      Granett, B. R.; Guzzo, L.; Coupon, J.; Arnouts, S.; Hudelot, P.; Ilbert, O.; McCracken, H. J.; Mellier, Y.; Adami, C.; Bel, J.; Bolzonella, M.; Bottini, D.; Cappi, A.; Cucciati, O.; de la Torre, S.; Franzetti, P.; Fritz, A.; Garilli, B.; Iovino, A.; Krywult, J.; Le Brun, V.; Le Fevre, O.; Maccagni, D.; Malek, K.; Marulli, F.; Meneux, B.; Paioro, L.; Polletta, M.; Pollo, A.; Scodeggio, M.; Schlagenhaufer, H.; Tasca, L.; Tojeiro, R.; Vergani, D.; Zanichelli, A. (2012-03-21) - Journal article
      We measure the real-space galaxy power spectrum on large scales at redshifts 0.5–1.2 using optical colour selected samples from the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. With the redshift distributions measured ...
