Novel solid-state millimetre-wave sources
(University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - ThesisA study of some principal solid-state millimetre-wave sources was carried out, using mainly quasi-optical techniques developed at St. Andrews. A review of the theory of operation of Gunn oscillators was undertaken, and a ... -
Linear and nonlinear optical pulse characterisation
(University of St Andrews, 1989-07) - ThesisDevelopmental work on the generation and measurement of ultrashort pulses has been performed. A colliding pulse, passively mode-locked (CPM) ring dye laser has been investigated by spectral analysis and the nonlinear ... -
Design and evaluation of ultrafast electron-optical streak and framing cameras
(University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - ThesisThe assessment of the performance of ultrafast electron-optical cameras operating in single-shot, synchroscan streak modes and framing mode has been accomplished and it has provided a better understanding of the limiting ... -
Radiofrequency analysis using optical signal processing
(University of St Andrews, 1991-07) - ThesisThe basic form of conventional electronic and acoustooptic radiofrequency spectrum analysers is described. The advantages and disadvantages of the various systems are discussed with particular reference to radar signal ... -
Ultrafast electron-optical visible / X-ray-sensitivity streak and framing cameras
(University of St Andrews, 1990-07) - ThesisIn this thesis the development of ultrafast electron-optical streak and framing cameras having radiation sensitivities ranging from the visible to soft X-ray are discussed. A framing camera incorporating a vacuum demountable ...
