Crystal Structures and Optical Properties of Group 14 Chalcogenides
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)The crystal structures and physical properties of several new tetrel and chalcogenide compounds have been investigated in this thesis. The crystal structures, syntheses, and electronic structures of the three centrosymmetric ... -
Investigation of Crystal Structures and Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivities in Novel Group 14 and 15 Chalcogenides
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-04)The crystal structures and physical properties of several new group 14 and 15 chalcogenides are discussed in this thesis. The thesis discusses the chalcoantimonates TlLa2Sb3Se9 and La12+zSb9-ySe38-z (simplified as La12Sb9Se38). ... -
Multifrequency Raman Generation in the Transient Regime
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Two colour pumping was used to investigate the short-pulse technique of Multifrequency Raman Generation (MRG) in the transient regime of Raman scattering. In the course of this study we have demonstrated the ability to ... -
Optimization of an All Normal Dispersion Fiber Laser and a Gain Managed Nonlinear Amplifier
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-17)Ultrafast laser systems are used in a wide variety of modern laser research. The combination of an all-normal dispersion fiber laser and a gain-managed nonlinear fiber amplifier makes for inexpensive and easy to build ... -
PPLN-based photon pair sources toward biphoton quantum frequency conversion
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-03)While quantum properties of light promise much-needed enhancements to metrology, further development of quantum light sources and associated tools are needed to readily harness two-photon interactions via energy-time ... -
Ultrafast coincidence characteristics of entangled photons towards entangled two-photon absorption
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-28)Nonlinear optics has had extensive application into a vast array of scientific fields. One such nonlinear process, two-photon absorption (TPA), has had a wildly successful adoption into the field of biological imaging and ...
