Collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy
1987
The progress in atomic and molecular spectroscopy has gone hand in hand with improvements of the resolution. Before the tunable narrow-band lasers led to the invention of Doppler-free techniques, spectral lines from cooled hollow-cathode discharges(1) had typical widths larger than 300 MHz, and high resolution was achieved only in rf spectroscopy, e.g., within hyperfine structure multiplets, by the classical techniques like atomic beam magnetic resonance,(2) optical pumρing,(3) or double resonance.(4) While the Doppler broadening $$\delta {v_D} = {v_0}{\left( {{{8kT{\rm{ }}\ln {\rm{ 2}}} \over {m{c^2}}}} \right)^{1/2}}$$ (1) is negligible for resonance frequencies v 0 in the rf regime, the …
Inhomogeneous speed effects on H-2 vibrational line profiles in ternary mixtures
2000
International audience; A study of speed inhomogeneous broadening of the hydrogen vibrational line profiles in the collisional regime for ternary mixtures is reported. The Q(1) line of H-2 in H-2-Ar-N-2, H-2-He-Ar, and H-2-He-N-2 mixtures is investigated by high resolution stimulated Raman spectroscopy for various concentrations and temperatures. A model, successfully used for binary mixtures, is extended to ternary mixtures. An excellent agreement is obtained between theory and experiment for H-2-Ar-N-2, by using the collisional parameters previously obtained from binary mixtures study. For H-2-He-Ar and H-2-He-N-2, H-2-He collisions play a "hardening" effect in the H-2 soft speed memory m…
Speed-dependent line profile: A test of a unified model from the Doppler to the collisional regime for molecule-molecule collisions
2000
International audience; A speed-dependent line profile combining soft and hard fully correlated Dicke-narrowing collisions was recently successfully tested on Ar-broadened H-2 spectra in a wide density and temperature range. A further test for mixtures of H-2 in nitrogen molecules (instead of Ar atoms) is presented. This test is also based on high resolution Raman investigation of the isotropic Q(1) line of H-2 from low to high density at various temperatures. The same consistency of the speed-dependent line profile as for H-2-Ar is obtained for H-2-N-2 through a remarkable agreement with all the data by using a unique set of four parameters (the collisional width and shift, the kinetic fre…
Si and Si-rich silicon-nitride waveguides for optical transmissions and nonlinear applications around 2 µm
2019
We show that cm-long silicon and silicon-rich silicon nitride waveguides with subwavelength transverse dimensions can efficiently sustain high-speed transmissions at 2 μm. We report the transmission of a 10 Gbit/s signal with negligible power penalty. Parametric conversion in both continuous and pulsed pump regimes is also demonstrated, as well as the spectral broadening of picosecond pulses.
Collisional effects on spectral line shape from the Doppler to the collisional regime: A rigorous test of a unified model
2000
International audience; The paper presents high resolution Raman investigations of the Q(1) line of H-2 in Ar mixture from low density (Doppler regime) to high density (collisional regime) analyzed with a unique line shape profile. Measurements are performed by stimulated Raman gain spectroscopy between 300 and 1000 K in a wide density range (from 0.2 to 11 amagat). All the observed spectral features are accurately described by a unified model recently proposed by two of the authors. This model accounts for a velocity-memory process, not restricted to the usual hard and soft limits. It also includes correlation between velocity- and phase-changing collisions. An exhaustive analysis of vario…

Formation of narrow optical resonances in thin atomic vapor layers of Cs, Rb, K and applications.
2019
This thesis presents the study of coherent light interaction with a sub-wavelength atomic alkali vapor layer confined in a nano-cell and applications for the formation of narrow optical resonances.We develop a theoretical model describing the resonant interaction of the laser light with the thin alkali vapor layer in the presence of an external static magnetic field. We show that due to a transient regime of interaction, only slow atoms contribute to the signal and their transmission spectrum is essentially Doppler-free. The nature of the obtained spectra makes the transmission spectroscopy from a nano-cell a convenient technique to perform studies of closely-spaced atomic transitions and i…
Thermodynamic approach of supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber
2009
We show that the spectral broadening process inherent to supercontinuum generation may be described as a thermalization process, which results from the natural irreversible evolution of the optical field towards a thermodynamic equilibrium state.
H-2 vibrational spectral signatures in binary and ternary mixtures: theoretical model, simulation and application to CARS thermometry in high pressur…
2001
International audience; A summary of the main results obtained by the two groups in the field of H-2 vibrational spectral line signatures for various mixtures. in connection with CARS diagnostics of H-2-O-2 combustion systems, is presented. H-2-X Systems may have specific large inhomogeneous spectral features, due to the dependence of the line broadening and line shifting on the (H-2) radiator speed, particularly at high temperature. Thus, careful attention has to be paid to rigorously analyze such features, both from the experimental point of view (Dijon) and from the theoretical one (Besancon). Applications of the present results to high-pressure H-2/air flame thermometry are also briefly…
