We have performed time-resolved pump–probe measurements on arrays of 1 μ m -wide Fe wires and on a 50 μ m -wide Fe stripe. A photoconductive switch was used as a source of fast-risetime magnetic field pulses. The magnetization dynamics were detected by the ...
We report on AC susceptibility, resistivity, thermopower and measurements of sintered magnetic superconductor RuSr2GdCu2O8. The anti ferromagnetic phase transition at 133 K is seen clearly in the AC susceptibility as well as in the derivative of resistivit ...
We have deposited a Permalloy film on top of a microstripline structure. The ferromagnetic properties of the Permalloy film are analyzed by means of the magneto-optical Kerr effect. We measure the effect of local magnetic fields generated by constant and p ...
It is sometimes observed that several neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) are present at the same time. This can happen both at the mode onset of a new NTM or during the nonlinear saturated phase of a given mode. In order to analyse whether nonlinear mode co ...
Thermo-optical and electro-optical (plasma dispersion) effects for silicon based integrated optical modulators are becoming attractive and effective solutions for telecommunications applications such as switching for programmable optical add-drop multiplex ...
Two Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI), one with Y-junction-couplers and the other with multimode interference (MMI), were presented. Both MZI were developed in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology and used plasma dispersion effect for light phase modulat ...
The conception and realisation of a prototype 355nm wind lidar return signal simulator capable of simulating the Rayleigh and the Mie return signals is described. The system is based on a commercial dual wavelength 1064nm/532nm diode pumped solid state las ...
Spectral phase conjugation with short pump pulses in a third-order nonlinear material is analyzed in depth. It is shown that if signal amplification is considered, the conversion efficiency can be significantly higher than previously considered, while the ...
An exact pulse for the parametrically forced nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) is isolated. The equation governs wave envelope propagation in dispersion-managed fiber lines with positive residual dispersion. The pulse is obtained as a ground state of an ...
Industrial laser precision machining is predominately based on pulsed Nd:YAG lasers operated at a wavelength of 1.06 µm in a free running pulse regime. The objective of this thesis work has been to investigate second and third harmonic generation for such ...
