• Stabilisation of self mode-locked quantum dash semiconductor lasers 

  Asghar, Haroon (University College Cork, 2018)

  Semiconductor mode-locked lasers are compact pulsed sources which produce high quality optical pulses with high repetition rates and subpicosecond pulse duration. In order to use these sources in real applications, low ...
• Cavity ring-down spectroscopy instrumentation for airborne detection of nitrogen oxides 

  Dubé, William P. (University College Cork, 2018)

  Pulsed laser cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CaRDS) is a highly sensitive method for direct absorption spectroscopy that has been applied to in-situ detection of NO3, N2O5, NO2, NO, and O3, as well as NOx and NOy in the ...
• Radiative signatures of the jet launching region in astronomical objects 

  O'Riordan, Michael (University College Cork, 2018)

  Relativistic jets are observed in a wide range of accreting black hole systems, from stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries (XRBs), to supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, despite decades ...
• Thermoelectric properties of PbTe-based materials driven near the ferroelectric phase transition from first principles 

  Murphy, Aoife Rose (University College Cork, 2017)

  The thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, is a dimensionless parameter used to characterise the efficiency of a thermoelectric material. One of the most common techniques to improve ZT is to suppress lattice thermal conductivity ...
• Monolithic integration of photonic devices for use in a regrowth-free coherent WDM transmitter 

  Kelly, Niall (University College Cork, 2017)

  In this communication age, consumer internet traffic continues to grow at an exponential rate year on year. As a result, networks need to be continually upgraded to keep up with ever increasing bandwidth demands. Diverse ...
