In the infrared, photodetectors are the key components in a wide-variety of applications such as thermal imaging, remote sensing, spectroscopy with newer technologies added to the list such as LiDaR and ...
Martínez-Denegrí Sánchez, Guillermo (Date of defense: 2021-09-29)
The environmental issues associated with the use of conventional fuels necessitates the utilisation of renewable energy sources, as well as the implementation of energy efficient designs, in order to ...
Rosales Guzmán, Carmelo G. (Date of defense: 2015-05-22)
Structured light beams, this is, beams whose phase changes from point to point in the transverse plane, provides with an alternative tool to search for new applications, or simply to expand the ...
Gündoğan, Mustafa (Date of defense: 2015-10-22)
Optical quantum memories (QMs) are one of the fundamental building blocks in quantum information science (QIS). They might find important use in quantum communication and computation applications. Rare-earth ...
Almeida, Jessica Oliveira de (Date of defense: 2022-07-28)
Quantum optics experiments are currently the most advanced techniques to under- stand, verify and simulate quantum phenomena. However, to access all the perfor- mance available in quantum states of ...
Pozas Kerstjens, Alejandro (Date of defense: 2019-10-15)
Quantum theory, as counter-intuitive as a theory can get, has turned out to make predictions of the physical world that match observations so precisely that it has been described as the most accurate ...
