Sonoluminescence is called a phenomenon in which a gas bubble is trapped in an antinode of a pressure field by a driven periodic acoustical field in a fluid and oscillations and at the end of each collapse, emits a flash. For this emission various conditions for stability must be satisfied, like diffusion stability, shape stability and positional stability. Another method to produce the bubbles is applications of a focused laser beam. In this method, a laser pulse is focused into a transparent buffer liquid like water and bubbles which are induced by the laser are so called Laser Induced Single Cavitation Bubble Luminescence (LI-SCBL). In the presence of the laser, the fluid acts as... 

Methane conversion into higher hydrocarbons has been investigated by non-thermal plasma. The most important advantages of utilizing this type of plasma are atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature of the operating system. In order to prepare non-thermal plasma, a spark discharge reactor has been used with the main prospect of acetylene production. Other components such as hydrogen, ethylene and ethane are also formed in the process as by-products. By optimizing the affecting parameters on methane conversion and products selectivity, maximum methane conversion of 83.2% is obtained. Acetylene yield varies between 25%-63% with input gas flow rate, voltage, frequency and discharge volume....

The phenomenon of relativistic self-focusing in nuclear fusion and laser-plasma interactions is very important. Under the influence of this phenomenon, the laser beam can move in plasma a few Rayleigh lengths and the interaction efficiency is improved. The relativistic self-focusing in inhomogeneous, homogeneous, collisional and collisionless plasmas has been studied in various conditions of plasma and laser in classical physics. In this thesis the propagation of a laser pulse at the X-ray wavelength range and its relativistic self-focusing in quantum plasma is investigated by numerical simulations. Initially, the interaction with a collisionless ramped density profile plasma target is... 

In this dissertation, a system consisting of two oscillating and amplifier lasers was designed and constructed. The aim was to use this combination to measure important parameters of CuBr vapor laser. Therefore, two separate Thyratrons switching by a two-pulse control circuit with an arbitrary time delay have been used. Due to the sensitivity of these lasers to tube pressure, two quartz tubes with specific designs was used. This enables us to get a proper vacuum as well as to prevent from impurities in the windows, in a short range of time. In this system, the output light from oscillator is led to the amplifier and after a proper delay time, amplifying was observed.
Based on... 

Ionization probability of Cl2 molecule is studied by irradiation of 800 nm Ti: Sapphire laser pulses at intensities of 1014 Wcm-2 to 1016 Wcm-2 with the Gaussian package. Molecular orbital symmetry and orientation of the molecule dipole moment with laser field polarization axis are very effective in ionization probability. The results show that the most ionization probability for the intensity of 1014 wcm-2 is at 900 and also 50 at intensity of 1016 wcm-2. Due to the lack of intrinsic dipole moment, variation of dipole moment with the intensity, bond length and time evolution of dipole moment are investigated. It is found that there is a linear dependance of these parameters with ionization...

Considering the generation of quasi-monoenergetic electrons with femto-second Lasers, producing X-Rays using these electrons is of interest. Lately, higher efficiencies of x-ray generation have been demonstrated by bombardment of different metal slabs, with quasi-monoenergetic electrons instead of Maxwellian electrons. The goal of this research is to study how changing the geometry of the target will affect efficiency and angular distribution of generated X-rays. The electron source is defined using a theoretical model and experimental data. MCNP4C code has been utilized to simulate the collisions of these electrons with a metal target. Intensity and quality of generated X-Rays are obtained... 

By using Mie theory and experimental data for complex refractive index of Au and Ag nanoparticles, the scattering and absorption efficiency of these nanoparticles in silicon medium (crystalline, Polycrystalline and amorphous silicon) was investigated. It was shown that Ag and Au nanoparticles can be used for confine the light, in desired wavelength band, inside the solar cell.The optimum nanoparticle size for using in this kind of solar cells was about 70-80 nm. In amorphous silicon confined photons cannot participate in electron-hole generation so the application of these metal nanoparticles in this kind of solar cells cannot be useful. Also the complex refractive index for equivalent... 

A coupler free scheme for directly exited surface polariton (SP) using a negative-index metamaterial (NIMM) with a bottom layer of N type quantum emitters is presented. It is shown that by suppressing the ohmic loss the giant field enhancement could be achived in a broad electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). And this field enhancement cause the excitation of surface polariton at the NIMM-Quantum emitter interfaces. For large range of probe detuning in EIT position and the tunable excitation of SP could be accomplished for special probe angle.It is revealed that the linear and nonlinear optical properties could be controlled effectively by modulating the phase of the microwave...

Distributed feedback dye lasers are among the suitable candidates for spectroscopic applications due to their capability of producing widely tunable picosecond pulses in UV-IR region. However, the pulsewidth sensitivity of the laser to pump intensity fluctuations hinders its suitability for precision applications. In this thesis, by utilizing widely used Self Q-Switching model, we showed that if the dye solution is pumped by a narrow (sub-nanosecond) pulse, the laser can operates in the single-pulse output mode with a better stability over a wide range of pump intensity. After that, we used a dynamical model based on the induced polarization and Maxwell equations, where the obtained results...
