    • Some aspects of nonlinear laser plasma interactions 

      Johnson, David A. (University of St Andrews, 1995-07) - Thesis
      Recent advances in the development of high power short pulse laser systems has opened a new regime of laser plasma interactions for study. The thesis is presented in two parts. In Part I, we consider the implications of ...

    • Generation and nonlinear propagation of ultrashort near infrared laser pulses 

      Kean, Peter N. (University of St Andrews, 1990-07) - Thesis
      By utilising a CW mode-locked Nd:YAG pump laser an experimental study of self-phase modulation (SPM) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in single mode optical fibres has been conducted. The dependence of the spectral ...

    • Plasma kinetics of sealed off high power carbon monoxide lasers 

      Murray, Gordon Alexander (University of St Andrews, 1979-10) - Thesis
      The plasma kinetics of sealed off room temperature CO lasers have been investigated by measuring the gain, electron density, and discharge voltage in various gas mixtures which are used for 'such lasers. In certain cases ...

    • Frequency doubled continuous wave dye lasers 

      Ferguson, Allister Ian (University of St Andrews, 1977-09) - Thesis
      This thesis describes the design and development of a frequency doubled, continuous wave dye laser and its application to a study of the high Rydberg states of Rubidium. The laser uses the dye rhodamine 6G as the active ...

    • Compact, low-threshold femtosecond lasers 

      Hopkins, John-Mark (University of St Andrews, 1999-05) - Thesis
      This thesis is concerned with the design and development of compact, all-solid-state femtosecond pulse lasers with low pump power requirements. A number of directly-diode- pumped laser systems based on the gain materials ...
