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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
