An all-solid-state optical parametric oscillator for the infrared
(University of St Andrews, 1994-07) - ThesisA low threshold, efficient optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on the material Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) and pumped by a diode-laser-pumped, Q-switched Nd:YLF laser has been demonstrated and investigated. ... -
Oxygen and its control over structural and electronic properties of Pb based 1212 superconductors
(University of St Andrews, 1998-02) - ThesisThe phase stability, electronic properties and crystal structure of the Pb based 1212 cuprate superconductor (Pb[1+x]/2Cu[1-x]/2)Sr2(Y1-xCax)Cu2O7+/-s were studied using a number of techniques. Since synthetic difficulties ... -
High spatial and spectral quality diode-laser-based pump sources for solid-state lasers and optical parametric oscillators
(University of St Andrews, 1999-09) - ThesisIn this thesis the use of high spatial- and spectral-quality diode-laser pump sources for solid-state lasers and continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators (cw OPOs) is investigated. While diode lasers are potentially ... -
Studies of optical parametric oscillators for the ultraviolet and visible spectral regions
(University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - ThesisThe work described herein concerns the characterisation and development of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) tunable in the ultraviolet, visible and near infrared regions. These devices were pumped by the 308nm output ... -
Continuously frequency-tunable CW optical parametric oscillators and their application to spectroscopy
(University of St Andrews, 1999-05) - ThesisThis thesis describes the development and applications of single-frequency, continuously tunable, continuous-wave (cw), optical parametric oscillators (OPOs). Two doubly-resonant OPOs (DROs) are presented, one providing ...
