Optical propagation loss measurements in electro optical host-guest waveguides
2013
Thin organic waveguiding layers are applied more and more frequently as optical components in novel optoelectronic devices. For development of such devices it is important to know the optical properties of the used waveguides. One of the most important parameters is optical propagation loss in the waveguide. In this paper we present optical propagation loss measurements in planar electro optical waveguides using travelling fiber method. Using this method attenuation coefficient α at 633 nm as a function of chromophore concentration for the first two guiding modes in the slab waveguide was determined.
Guiding and reflecting light by boundary material
2003
We study effects of finite height and surrounding material on photonic crystal slabs of one- and two-dimensional photonic crystals with a pseudo-spectral method and finite difference time domain simulation methods. The band gap is shown to be strongly modified by the boundary material. As an application we suggest reflection and guiding of light by patterning the material on top/below the slab.
Metalenses with high-NA, enhanced resolution and apodization
2017
Dielectric microlenses employed in imaging and focusing for optoelectronics are currently prospects to be substituted by metalenses showing an extraordinary optical performance within notably reduced volumes. Here we present some proposals to achieve an enhanced resolution in metallodielectric metasurface-based lenses established on either efficient arrangements with high numerical aperture or spatial filtering enabling to surpass the limit of resolution derived by the Rayleigh criterion.
Dynamic control of the operation regimes of a mode-locked fiber laser based on intracavity polarizing fibers: experimental and theoretical validation.
2012
[EN] An intracavity polarizing fiber is proposed to control the emission regime of a passively mode-locked fiber laser. Stable operation in self-starting high and low dispersion soliton mode-locking and 100 GHz multiwavelength regimes is demonstrated through numerical simulations and experimental validation. Mode-locking stability is ensured by a saturable absorber in the ring cavity. The effective selection of operation regime is dynamically carried out by controlling the intracavity polarization state.
Ultralow chirp photonic crystal fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer
2018
A photonic crystal fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer design was optimized to obtain high performance and ultralow chirp. Two long-period gratings were used to excite the cladding modes, and the rich structure of the cladding was tailored to obtain a slightly chirped free spectral range, as required by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) Norm G.694.1. Finally, a fabrication tolerance analysis was performed. The advantages of the proposed device are an ultralow chirp, high bandwidth, and fabrication robustness tolerance.
Thermo-optic control of dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguide components
2010
International audience; We report preliminary results on the development of compact (length 20%) is demonstrated with MZI-and WRR-based components, and efficient (similar to 30%) rerouting is achieved with DC switches. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America
Transverse chemical interface detection with coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy
2011
International audience; Transverse "chemical" interfaces are revealed with a conventional two beam narrowband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy setup in a collinear configuration. The exciting "pump" and "Stokes" beams are focused on the sample in two opposite directions. The subtraction of the two generated anti-Stokes signals gives rise to a signal that is directly proportional to the pure Raman spectrum of the resonant medium. This property is used to highlight an interface between glass and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and recover the pure Raman spectrum of DMF around its 1408 cm−1 vibrational band.
Near-field probing of active photonic-crystal structures
2002
We report a study of the optical near field of an active integrated component operating near the 1.55-mum telecommunications wavelength. The device is based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal etched in a suspended InP membrane. Topographic as well as optical information is collected by use of a scanning near-field optical microscope in collection mode, providing information about the local distribution of the losses.
Optical Probing (EOFM/TRI): A large set of complementary applications for ultimate VLSI
2013
International audience; Electro Optical Techniques (EOFM: Electro Optical Frequency Mapping and EOP: Electro Optical Probing) and Dynamic Light Emission Techniques (TRE: Time Resolved Emission and TRI: Time Resolved Imaging) are dynamic optical probing techniques widely used at IC level for design debug and defect localization purpose. They can pinpoint the origin of timing issue or logic fault in up to date CMOS devices. Each technique has its advantages and its drawbacks allowing a common set of applications and more specific ones. We have been involved in the development of the most advanced techniques related to EOFM and TRI on various devices (down to 28nm technology). What we can expe…
Parabolic pulse generation with active or passive dispersion decreasing optical fibers
2007
International audience; We experimentally demonstrate the possibility to generate parabolic pulses via a single dispersion decreasing optical fiber with normal dispersion. We numerically and experimentally investigate the influence of the dispersion profile, and we show that a hybrid configuration combining dispersion decrease and gain has several benefits on the parabolic generated pulses.
