    Quantum dashes are elongated quantum dots. Polarized edge-photovoltage and spontaneous emission spectroscopy are used to study the anisotropy of optical properties in 1.5μm InGaAsP and AlGaInAs-based quantum dash lasers. ...
  • McAuliffe, Michael A. P. (University College Cork, 2012-12)
    Lidar is an optical remote sensing instrument that can measure atmospheric parameters. A Raman lidar instrument (UCLID) was established at University College Cork to contribute to the European lidar network, EARLINET. ...
  • Lo Gullo, Nicolino (University College Cork, 2013-01)
    In this thesis I present the work done during my PhD. The Thesis is divided into two parts; in the first one I present the study of mesoscopic quantum systems whereas in the second one I address the problem of the definition ...
  • O'Sullivan, Brian (University College Cork, 2012-12)
    In this thesis we relate the formal description of various cold atomic systems in the energy eigenbasis, to the observable spatial mode dynamics. Herein the `spatial mode dynamics' refers to the direction of photon ...

R.; Thieser, J.; Tillmann, R.; Varma, R.; Venables, Dean S.; Wahner, A. (Copernicus Publications, 2013)
    The detection of atmospheric NO3 radicals is still challenging owing to its low mixing ratios (≈ 1 to 300 pptv) in the troposphere. While long-path differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) is a well established ...
