Few-Cycle Laser Pulse Generation and Characterization for Coulomb Explosion Imaging of Molecules
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-22)Ultrashort pulses can induce coulomb explosions of molecules through which ionic fragments receive substantial momentum. These momenta, measured in coincidence, carry information about the molecule's initial geometry. ... -
Molecular movies and geometry reconstruction using Coulomb explosion imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Coulomb explosion imaging is a technique of imaging the structure of small molecules in the gas phase and their ultrafast dynamics by inducing the rapid ionization and dissociation of the molecule into its constituent ... -
An Ultrafast Source of Polarization Entangled Photon Pairs based on a Sagnac Interferometer
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-26)This thesis describes the design, development, and implementation of a pulsed source of polarization-entangled photons using spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a Sagnac interferometer. A tangle of 0.9286 ± 0.0015, ...
