Thulium-doped fiber cavities for frequency comb generation at 2 micron

Moritz Bartnick

The invention of the laser in the 1960s heralded a new era in photonics. Owing to both, academic and industrial research, photonics technologies have long become part of our everyday life. This PhD thesis explores two subfields of laser technologies: Frequ ...

Anti-Jahn-Teller effect induced ultrafast insulator to metal transition in perovskite BaBiO3

Changpeng Lin

The Jahn-Teller (JT) effect involves the ions M with a degenerate electronic state distorting the corner-sharing MO6 octahedra to lift the degeneracy, inducing strong coupling of electrons to lattice, and mediating the exotic properties in perovskite oxide ...

Exploring nonlinearities in multimode optical fibers for lasers and computing

Ugur Tegin

Multimode optical fibers are the backbone of telecommunication and medical imaging. When light with high intensity travels through a multimode fiber, photons and matter start to interact and propa-gation becomes nonlinear. The nonlinear propagation of ligh ...

Femtosecond X-ray emission study of the spin cross-over dynamics in haem proteins

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Oliviero Cannelli, Dominik Kinschel, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel, Boris Sorokin, James Michael Budarz

In haemoglobin the change from the low-spin (LS) hexacoordinated haem to the high spin (HS, S = 2) pentacoordinated domed deoxy-myoglobin (deoxyMb) form upon ligand detachment from the haem and the reverse process upon ligand binding are what ultimately dr ...

Refinement for single-nanoparticle structure determination from low-quality single-shot coherent diffraction data

Christoph Bostedt

With the emergence of X-ray free-electron lasers, it is possible to investigate the structure of nanoscale samples by employing coherent diffractive imaging in the X-ray spectral regime. In this work, we developed a refinement method for structure reconstr ...

A Spotlight on the Compatibility between XFEL and Ab Initio Structures of the Oxygen Evolving Complex in Photosystem II

Leonardo Guidoni, Daniele Narzi

The Mn4CaO5 cluster of photosystem II promotes a crucial step in the oxygenic photosynthesis, namely, the water-splitting reaction. The structure of such cluster in the S-1 state of the Kok-Joliot's cycle has been recently resolved by femtosecond X-ray fre ...
