Femtosecond optical parametric oscillators for the mid-infrared
(University of St Andrews, 1998-02) - ThesisThe research presented in this thesis is concerned with the generation and characterisation of femtosecond pulses in the near and mid-infrared spectral regions. The three optical parametric oscillators which were constructed ... -
High-power, high-repetition-rate picosecond optical parametric oscillators for the visible to mid-infrared
(University of St Andrews, 1997-07) - ThesisThis thesis describes the design, configuration and operation of picosecond optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) tunable from the visible to mid infrared. These systems were based on the materials LiB3O5 (LBO) and KTiOAsO4 ... -
UV pumped holosteric optical parametric oscillator
(University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - ThesisThe all-solid-state (or "holosteric") optical parametric oscillator has resulted from the recent development of diode-laser-pumped solid-state lasers and from recent advancements in new optically nonlinear materials. As a ... -
Electrical characteristics of n-InSb crystals used for sub-mm wave emission and detection
(University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - ThesisA detailed study of the electrical characteristics of high purity n-InSb has been under taken. The main aim was to determine the effect of the electrical characteristics on the emission and detection properties of n-InSb. ... -
An analysis of the performance characteristics of continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators
(University of St Andrews, 1995-07) - ThesisThis thesis gives a description of studies relating to the development of continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) and their application to schemes that require high-precision, narrow-linewidth, and ...
