    • Novel solid-state millimetre-wave sources 

      Robertson, Malcolm R. (University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - Thesis
      A 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 

      Finch, Andrew (University of St Andrews, 1989-07) - Thesis
      Developmental 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 

      Liu, Yueping (University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - Thesis
      The 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 

      Dawber, W. N. (University of St Andrews, 1991-07) - Thesis
      The 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 

      Walker, David R. (University of St Andrews, 1990-07) - Thesis
      In 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 ...
