Generation and Coherent Control of Pulsed Quantum Frequency Combs
2018
We present a method for the generation and coherent manipulation of pulsed quantum frequency combs. Until now, methods of preparing high-dimensional states on-chip in a practical way have remained elusive due to the increasing complexity of the quantum circuitry needed to prepare and process such states. Here, we outline how high-dimensional, frequency-bin entangled, two-photon states can be generated at a stable, high generation rate by using a nested-cavity, actively mode-locked excitation of a nonlinear micro-cavity. This technique is used to produce pulsed quantum frequency combs. Moreover, we present how the quantum states can be coherently manipulated using standard telecommunications…
Squeezing in Kerr-like cavities: optomechanics, polariton microcavities and superconducting circuits
2017
Aquesta tesi està dedicada fonamentalment a l’estudi teòric de la generació d’estats comprimits de la llum mitjançant cavitats òptiques tipus Kerr amb un bombeig bicromàtic. Bàsicament amb aquest tipus d’injecció fem que la usual corba de biestabilitiat observada en la dinàmica no lineal d’aquests sistemes amb injecció monocromàtica, canvie a una bifurcació tipus forca, degut a un fenòmen de mescla de quatre ones. A prop de l’esmentada bifurcació les fluctuacions quàntiques del camp electromagnètic són modificades de forma que l’estat quàntic de la llum a l’eixida de la cavitat és d’un buit comprimit. En aquesta introducció explicarem breument que és aquesta compressió de la llum, que són l…
On-chip quantum frequency combs for complex photon state generation (Conference Presentation)
2020
A key challenge in today’s quantum science is the realization of large-scale complex non-classical systems to enable e.g. ultra-secure communications, quantum-enhanced measurements, and computations faster than classical approaches. Optical frequency combs represent a powerful approach towards this, since they provide a very high number of temporal and frequency modes which can result in large-scale quantum systems. Here, we discuss the recent progress on the realization of integrated quantum frequency combs and reveal how their use in combination with on-chip and fiber-optic telecommunications components can enable quantum state control with new functionalities, yielding unprecedented capa…
Telecom-compatible, affordable and scalable quantum technologies
2022
The realistic implementation of quantum architectures relies on the development of scalable, resource-efficient platforms that are compatible with CMOS technologies as well as fiber networks. This work demonstrates novel schemes utilized for time-/frequency-bin entanglement generation and processing by leveraging existing telecommunications and integrated photonics infrastructures.
Sources optiques infrarouges impulsionnelles ultra-courtes et spectralement ultra-larges générées par effet Raman dans les fibres creuses
2019
Gas-filled Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers (HC-PCF) are efficient tools regarding ultra-wide and coherent optical frequency combs by Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS). Coherence is reached thanks to highly transient regime as it allows amplification, from quantum to macroscopic level, of a unique spatial and temporal mode (TSM). This results in the generation of Stokes waves with a well-determined phase. The present work details on which time scale coherence can subsist, between two consecutive pulses. The possibility of making a new kind of mode-lock is studied. Then the extreme versatility of gas-filled HC-PCF is illustrated by presenting different kind of new laser sources, exploitin…
Frequency comb generation by electro-optic modulation and applications
2020
The work presented in this thesis relates the development of a dual frequency comb spectrometer based on the electro-optic modulation of a continuous wave laser, and its utilisation for spectroscopic applications in the near- and mid-infrared.Since their discovery in the 1960s, frequency combs have revolutionised the physics, especially in metrology but also in spectroscopy, which lead to the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2005. In this domain of applications, dual frequency comb spectrometers are known to be complex to develop and use. A possibility to bypass these constraints is to build the spectrometer with electro-optic modulators. This particular architecture makes the experimental setup e…
New theoretical and experimental concepts for frequency generation in optical fibers: modulation instability, pulsed Raman Laser and kinetic approach…
2009
Following a brief introduction to optical fibers, we combine the effect of modulational instability and Raman self-frequency shift to generate a frequency combs with a spectral width higher than 100 nm and a central frequency shifted towards higher wavelengths. Then, the stimulated Raman effect is used in a ring cavity coupled with nonlinear polarization rotation and polarization filtering. A pulsed regime is obtained at the wavelength of the first Stokes emission and presents a rich zoology of experimental dynamic pulsed regimes. A second main line of this manuscript considers the incoherent regime of supercontinuum generation. We show that under certain conditions, the spectral broadening…
