Phonon dynamics in Bi, Bi2Se2, and CuxBi2Se3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.125) single crystals was investigated using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Two damped oscillations in measured transient reflectivity changes were observed, respectively, attributed to coheren ...
Femtosecond laser processing of glass has been proven to be an efficient tool for fabricating waveguides and microchannels. Here we show that monolithic integration in bio-Micro- Electro-Mechanical-Systems can be pushed forward by introducing additional fu ...
We describe a complete technological system at Imperial College London for Attosecond Science studies. The system comprises a few-cycle, carrier envelope phase stabilized laser source which delivers sub 4 fs pulses to a vibration-isolated attosecond vacuum ...
The dynamics of acoustic vibrations in terahertz quantum cascade laser structures (THz-QCLs) is studied by means of femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The phonon modes are characterized by the folding of the acoustic dispersion into an effective reduced ...
The photophysics and excited-state dynamics of two dyads consisting of either a free-base or a zinc-tetraphenylporphyrin linked through a rigid bridge to a core-substituted naphthalenediimide (NDI) have been investigated by femtosecond-resolved spectroscop ...
This thesis work concerns the development and applications of ultrafast optical techniques and in particular photon echo in the UV range (< 300 nm). Development of these techniques in the UV range is important for studying molecular dynamics in solution, s ...
We investigate the structural response of charge and orbitally ordered (CO/OO) manganites to ultrafast optical excitation using optical reflectivity and x-ray diffraction as a probe. We study a La0.42Ca0.58MnO3 (LCMO) thin film and a La0.25Pr0.375Ca0.375Mn ...
We report the development of an apparatus to allow time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of charge motion on solids and structured surfaces with attosecond resolution in an ultra high vacuum environment. The system, connected to the Attosecond Beamline ...
We demonstrate the generation of high-energy sub-2-cycle laser pulses generated through hollow core fibre pulse compression. We demonstrate their full characterization with two independent methods. For all-optical characterization in amplitude and spectral ...
We developed a fast multichannel detection system for pump-probe spectroscopy, capable of detecting single shot super-continuum spectra at the repetition rate (10-50 kHz) of an amplified femtosecond laser system. By tandem pumping the amplifier with three ...
