Continuously frequency-tunable CW optical parametric oscillators and their application to spectroscopy
(University of St Andrews, 1999-05) - ThesisWithin the past few years, renewed interest has been generated in the field of continuous wave optical parametric oscillators. This has been due in part, to the wider range of nonlinear materials now available, and also ... -
Novel nonlinear techniques for femtosecond pulse generation in the visible and near-infrared
(University of St Andrews, 1995-07) - ThesisThe work presented in this thesis describes the design, configuration and operation of femtosecond optical parametric oscillators based on the materials KTiOPO4 (KTP) and RbTiOAsO4 (RTA) and pumped by a self- modelocked ... -
Optical spanners and improved optical tweezers
(University of St Andrews, 1998-03) - ThesisThis thesis describes the experimental and theoretical work that investigated the transfer of orbital angular momentum from light to matter. This was achieved by combining two established areas of laser physics which were ... -
Optimisation of a colliding-pulse modelocked dye laser
(University of St Andrews, 1998-05) - ThesisThe work presented in this thesis describes the operation, characterisation and optimisation of a colliding-pulse modelocked (CPM) dye laser. A method of pulse analysis has been developed which is capable of determining ... -
