Troullinou, Charikleia (Date of defense: 2022-09-29)
(English) This thesis describes experiments that employ squeezed light to improve the performance of a sensitive optically-pumped magnetometer (OPM). The squeezed light source employs parametric ...
Sánchez Peacham, Daniel Alexander (Date of defense: 2020-01-27)
The continuous development of laser sources delivering ultra-short light pulses underpins much of the current progress in experimental science, particularly in the domain of physics concerned with ...
Elu Etxano, Ugaitz (Date of defense: 2022-05-03)
In the last decades, intense carrier-envelope-phase-stable (CEP-stable) and near-single-cycle, coherent mid-infrared sources have become charming for a variety of applications in physics, chemistry and ...
Roque Fernández, Pablo Manuel de (Date of defense: 2022-10-18)
(English) Nanophotonics can be defined as the science and technology studying the control optical fields at the nanoscale and their interaction with matter. In order to spatially control such fields we ...
Hesp, Niels Caspar Herman (Date of defense: 2021-10-20)
Nano-optics studies the behaviour of light on the nanoscale. In particular, it probes the interaction of light with objects, often of nanometre-size, and reveals fine details of the material's optical ...
Sukeert, Sukeert (Date of defense: 2022-03-11)
Tunable laser sources in different spectral regions are of interest for a variety of applications including spectroscopy, trace gas sensing, medical diagnostics, LIDAR and material processing. Existing ...
Alda, Irene (Date of defense: 2020-07-09)
The field of levitation optomechanics---or levitodynamics---studies the manipulation and control of small trapped objects in an isolated environment, providing a gateway to answer fundamental questions ...
Kottmann, Korbinian Gebhard (Date of defense: 2022-10-14)
(English) We perform quantum simulation on classical and quantum computers and set up a machine learning framework in which we can map out phase diagrams of known and unknown quantum many-body systems ...
Remesh, Vikas (Date of defense: 2020-06-08)
The study of light-driven physical processes generated in nanomaterials require shorter (in time, or broader in frequency) laser pulses with techniques to tailor its phase and temporal/spectral ...
Planes Conangla, Gerard (Date of defense: 2020-06-30)
Levitodynamics is a fast growing field that studies the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoobjects, fuelled by both fundamental physics questions and technological applications. Due to the ...
