The diffraction of monsters from complex apertures
Thesis
Middleton-Spencer, H. (in press). The diffraction of monsters from complex apertures. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The research presented in this MSc thesis is concerned with understanding the way incoming electromagnetic waves are diffracted by various different types of scattering screens. These classes of problem are fundamental in the laser optics community,... Read More about The diffraction of monsters from complex apertures.

New modelling applications for Helmholtz soliton theory : from single interfaces to waveguide arrays
Thesis
McCoy, E. New modelling applications for Helmholtz soliton theory : from single interfaces to waveguide arrays. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis details an exploration of the behaviour of spatial optical solitons (self-collimated, self-stabilising light beams) interacting with the interface between classes of nonlinear dielectric materials. Chapter 1 gives the theoretical backgro... Read More about New modelling applications for Helmholtz soliton theory : from single interfaces to waveguide arrays.
