Cieslak, Rafal. "Power scaling of novel fibre sources." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2012. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/351186/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores novel fibre-based coherent light source architectures and strategies for scaling output power. The research focuses on fibre-based amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) sources with broadband output in the ~1 μm spectral region and on internally-frequency-doubled fibre lasers emitting in the visible (green) wavelength range. In Part I: Spectrum-controllable fibre-based amplified spontaneous emission sources modelling, development and characterisation of a versatile ASE source based on Yb-doped fibre gain stages, using power-efficient means for spectrum control is presented.

Abstract:
The advantages of isolating vibrating machinery from its supporting structure are that the chances of vibration induced fatigue failure of structural components are reduced, the structure becomes more inhabitable for people due to less vibration exposure and the sound radiated by the structure into the environment is reduced. This last point is especially important for machinery operating in a marine environment because low frequency sound propagates very well underwater, and the machinery induced sound radiated from a ship or submarine is a primary detection and classification mechanism for p

This thesis reports on theoretical and experimental studies of wavelength-selective waveguide structures for high-power Nd3+- and Yb3+-doped fibre lasers. Cladding-pumped high-power fibre lasers based on these novel waveguide designs and operating at desired unconventional wavelengths were investigated through numerical simulations and fibre laser experiments. Rare earth doped fibres have typically multiple emission bands of different effective strengths.

Abstract:
Terahertz (THz) technology has been generating a lot of interest because of the potential applications for systems working in this frequency range. However, to fully achieve this potential, effective and efficient ways of generating controlled signals in the terahertz range are required. Devices that exhibit negative differential resistance (NDR) in a region of their current-voltage (I-V ) characteristics have been used in circuits for the generation of radio frequency signals. Of all of these NDR devices, resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillators, with their ability to oscillate in the THz r

The smuggling of illicit goods poses a significant threat to the safety, security and economy of all nations. Undeclared black market goods, illegal narcotics and weapons are all threats that could ideally be prevented from crossing national borders. At present cargo interrogation is primarily performed using X-rays, which can be defeated by effective shielding and disguising of objects. Neutron interrogation offers an additional line of defence against smuggling, and there are a number of techniques available, which are discussed in this thesis.

The proliferation of mobile technologies in the general population offers new opportunities for survey research, but also introduces new sources of error to the data collection process. This thesis studies two potential sources of error in mobile survey data collection: measurement error and nonresponse. Chapter 1 examines how the diagonal screen size of a mobile device affects measurement error. Using data from a non-mobile-optimised web survey, I compare data quality between screen size groups.

This doctoral study discusses how to control fluctuating renewable energy sources at converter, unit, and system layers to deliver smoothed power output to the grid. This is particularly relevant to renewable power generation since the output power of many kinds of renewable energy sources have huge fluctuations (e.g. solar, wind and wave) that needs to be properly treated for grid integration. In this research, the energy quality is developed to describe the friendliness and compatibility of power flows/waveforms to the grid, by contrast with the well-known concept of power quality which is u

The European Parliament (EP) has evolved into a powerful legislative actor over the past 40 years. In order to exercise its hard won legislative competencies in an efficient and effective manner the EP has developed an extensive and influential committee system.

Abstract:
Our sensitive (sigma(n) approximate to 572 nJy beam(-1)), high-resolution (FWHM theta(1/2) = 0"22 approximate to 2 kpc at z greater than or similar to 1), 10 GHz image covering a single Karl G.. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) primary beam (FWHM circle minus(1/2) approximate to 4.'25) in the GOODS-N field contains 32 sources with S-p greater than or similar to 2 mu Jy beam(-1) and optical and/or near-infrared (OIR) counterparts. Most are about as large as the star-forming regions that power them. Their median FWHM major axis is <theta(M)>= 167 +/- 32 mas approximate to 1.2 +/- 0.28 kpc, with rms

Abstract:
Le problème de la restauration est rencontré dans domaines très variés notamment en traitement de signal et de l'image. Il correspond à la récupération des données originales à partir de données observées. Dans le cas de données multidimensionnelles, la résolution de ce problème peut se faire par différentes approches selon la nature des données, l'opérateur de transformation et la présence ou non de bruit. Dans ce travail, nous avons traité ce problème, d'une part, dans le cas des données discrètes en présence de bruit. Dans ce cas, le problème de restauration est analogue à celui de la segme

Abstract:
The main goal of this thesis is to develop lossless compression schemes for analog and binary sources. All the considered compression schemes have as common feature that the encoder can be represented by a graph, so they can be studied employing tools from modern coding theory. In particular, this thesis is focused on two compression problems: the group testing and the noiseless compressed sensing problems. Although both problems may seem unrelated, in the thesis they are shown to be very close. Furthermore, group testing has the same mathematical formulation as non-linear binary source compr

Abstract:
This study mainly aimed at investigating the academic writing needs and writing self-efficacy beliefs of graduate students studying at an English-medium university, Ankara. Furthermore, such areas that have a crucial role in determining writing needs as the frequency of writing tasks, usefulness of written sources, perceived importance of academic writing, and role of Turkish while writing were explored. In this study, quantitative data via &ldquo<br>Academic Writing Needs Assessment Survey for Graduate Students&rdquo<br>were collected from 213 graduate students enrolled at Graduate School of
