Ab-initio analysis of the structural response of solids after femtosecond-laser-pulse excitation
(2019)
After an intense femtosecond-laser excitation extreme non-equilibrium conditions are induced in materials. The high photon density in such an ultrashort-laser pulse interacts directly with the electronic system of the material. By absorbing the photon energy the electrons are excited in high energy states, where they form a non-equilibrium distribution shortly after the excitation. Due to fast electron-electron scattering and cascading processes equilibrates the electronic system within several femtoseconds to a ...

InP - based quantum dots for telecom wavelengths ranges
(2019-12)
Long-distance quantum communication applications require sources of single photons, emitting at telecom wavelengths (around 1550 nm) with minimum attenu-ation losses of silica fiber.
Semiconductor self-assembled InAs/InP-based quantum dots (QDs) are possible candidates to
reach this spectral region. One of the challenges on the way is a QD asymmetry, which limits the fidelity of entangled photons. Therefore, morphological and optical properties of QDs should be improved in order to achieve the necessary quality and ...

Abhängigkeit des Exchange-Bias Feldes und des Koerzitivfeldes von der mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie gemessenen Kornvolumenverteilung des Antiferromagneten in Exchange-Bias Schichtsystemen
(2019-10-02)
Der Exchange-Bias Effekt wird in vielen technischen Anwendungen, wie z.B. in magnetischen Speichermedien oder in Magnetsensorköpfen zum Pinnen der Magnetisierungsrichtung der Referenzelektrode, eingesetzt. Dieser Effekt tritt ausschließlich in dünnen Schichtsystemen, in denen sich ein dünner Ferromagnet mit einem dünnen Antiferromagneten in Kontakt befindet, auf und bewirkt eine Verschiebung der Hysteresekurve entlang der Magnetfeldachse. Solche Exchange-Bias Schichtsysteme können mittels Ionenbeschuss, d.h., leichte ...

Energy transfer in free-standing van der Waals heterostructures after optical excitation
(2019)
The wide range of layered van der Waals materials is interesting due to its plenty of deviating characteristics. The structure of all these materials is built from covalently joined layers, which are stacked by van der Waals forces. Aside from this structural similarity the specific characteristics spread out in a variety of electronic and optical properties. The electronic properties of layered materials vary from pure insulators to metallic conductors and can even depend on the number of layers. In the work presented ...

Organische Magnetooptoelektronik
(2014-09-25)
Im Rahmen der Organischen Optoelektronik wird der Weg vom Molekül zum Bauteil als Wertschöpfungskette verstanden, deren Kernziele wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisfortschritt und Produktanwendungen sind. Eine besonders vielversprechende Möglichkeit diese Entwicklung auch in Zukunft erfolgreich und innovativ fortführen zu können, eröffnet sich durch das Einbeziehen magnetosensitiver Prozesse. Spinzustände werden als zusätzliche Regelgröße verstanden, die es erlauben, optoelektronische Abläufe zu optimieren und neuartige ...

Investigation of diamond nanostructures with incorporated color centers
(2018)
Diamond is a material with excellent properties due to its structure and composition. Its crystal lattice is a perfect host of different defect centers, so-called color centers, whose properties, especially the capability of emitting single photons, can serve in quantum information technologies (QIT). As a high refractive index material only a small part of the photons emitted by these color centers in diamond can be collected. To enhance the photon collection efficiency photonic structures are necessary. They can ...

Efficient Characterisation and Optimal Control of Open Quantum Systems - Mathematical Foundations and Physical Applications
(2015-06-19)
Since no physical system can ever be completely isolated from its environment, the study of open quantum systems is pivotal to reliably and accurately control complex quantum systems. In practice, reliability of the control field needs to be confirmed via certification of the target evolution while accuracy requires the derivation of high-fidelity control schemes in the presence of decoherence.
In the first part of this thesis an algebraic framework is presented that allows to determine the minimal requirements on ...

High-Speed Semiconductor Lasers based on Low-Dimensional Active Materials for Optical Telecommunication
(2012-07-10)
The scope of this work is the fundamental growth, tailoring and characterization of self-organized indium arsenide quantum dots (QDs) and their exploitation as active region for diode lasers emitting in the 1.55 µm range. This wavelength regime is especially interesting for long-haul telecommunications as optical fibers made from silica glass have the lowest optical absorption. Molecular Beam Epitaxy is utilized as fabrication technique for the quantum dots and laser structures. The results presented in this thesis ...

Theory of laser-induced ultrafast structural changes in solids
(2010-04-21)
The present thesis is a contribution to the study of laser-solid interaction.
Despite the numerous applications resulting from the recent use of laser technology, there is still a lack of satisfactory answers to theoretical questions regarding the mechanism leading to the structural changes induced by femtosecond lasers in materials.
We provide here theoretical approaches for the description of the structural response of different solids (cerium, samarium sulfide, bismuth and germanium) to femtosecond laser ...

Laser amplification in excited dielectrics
(2018-02-12)
Today, laser processing of dielectric materials with ultrashort, femtosecond laser pulses finds a great variety of applications. While ablation, cutting or welding of different types of glasses are widespread and popular examples, nanostructuring of transparent crystals or optoporating cells is part of more recent scientific studies. Although the material systems seem to be very different, their interaction with visible and infrared wavelengths is very similar: the light is simply transmitted. This changes drastically ...
