UV pumped holosteric optical parametric oscillator
(University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - ThesisThe all-solid-state (or "holosteric") optical parametric oscillator has resulted from the recent development of diode-laser-pumped solid-state lasers and from recent advancements in new optically nonlinear materials. As a ... -
Electrical characteristics of n-InSb crystals used for sub-mm wave emission and detection
(University of St Andrews, 1993-07) - ThesisA detailed study of the electrical characteristics of high purity n-InSb has been under taken. The main aim was to determine the effect of the electrical characteristics on the emission and detection properties of n-InSb. ... -
An analysis of the performance characteristics of continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators
(University of St Andrews, 1995-07) - ThesisThis thesis gives a description of studies relating to the development of continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) and their application to schemes that require high-precision, narrow-linewidth, and ... -
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 ...
