Using spatial light modulators to investigate the limitations of adaptive optics performance for the European Extremely Large Telescope
(NUI Galway, 2024-02-02)
The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) will be the world’s largest ground based optical / near-infrared telescope ever built. Its primary mirror, M1, will be 39
m in diameter and consist of 798 individual hexagonal ...
Non-thermal crystallization and sintering of thin films and nanoparticles by using ultrashort laser technology
(NUI Galway, 2023-12-04)
Ultrashort laser pulses can have a transformative effect on materials processing,
enabling new processes which cannot be achieved with laser pulses of longer duration
or with other material processing technologies. ...
Gradient-index lenses: Symplectic ray tracing and optical testing
(NUI Galway, 2024-02-22)
The chief objective of this thesis is to provide an introduction to symplectic numerical methods
and how they may be applied to optical problems, particularly for tracing rays within gradientindex (GRIN) optics. Specifically, ...
