Modal analysis of laser vibrated structures
… pulses ablate the irradiated surface material and may impulsively excite structural vibration; however, the use of laser power densities above the ablation threshold causes significant surface damage. This work extends current optical excitation techniques by demonstrating that a single laser …

Energy exchange processes in erbium-doped fluoride glasses
… between ions in rare earth doped glasses and crystals. In particular interest has focused on diode-pumped lasers and optical waveguide amplifiers based on rare earth ions. This thesis is concerned with developing a model, which can explain the population and depopulation processes which …

Nd:YVO4 microchip lasers and amplifiers
An investigation of microchip laser and amplifier systems using the material Neodymium doped Yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YV04) has been performed. This project takes advantage of recent improvements in the growth of Nd:YV04 to investigate its potential as a compact and simple single longitudinal mode …
