Experimental demonstration and numerical study of plasmon-soliton waves

2019

Merging the fields of plasmonics and nonlinear optics authorizes a variety of fascinating and original physical phenomena. In this work, we specifically study the combination of the strong light confinement ability of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) with the beam self-trapping effect in a nonlinear optical Kerr medium. Although this idea of plasmon-soliton has been the subject of numerous theoretical papers since the eighties [1–4], up to now, no experimental evidence had been revealed yet. In the present study, a proper structure (Fig. 1a) has been designed and fabricated allowing the first experimental demonstration of these hybrid nonlinear waves merging spatial solitons and SPP. To be …

Low drive voltage electro-optic Bragg deflector using a periodically poled lithium niobate planar waveguide

2016

International audience; An electro-optic Bragg light deflector is demonstrated in a thinned, periodically poled lithium niobate planar waveguide confined between two silica layers on a silicon substrate. More than 97% of diffraction efficiency is obtained with an operating wavelength of 633 nm for the two orthogonal light polarizations with a drive voltage of about 5 V. The temporal electric drift and the response time of the component are also studied.

''High-Intensity Interval Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation''

2012

Guiraud, Thibaut | Nigam, Anil | Gremeaux, Vincent | Meyer, Philippe | Juneau, Martin | Bosquet, Laurent; International audience; ''High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is frequently used in sports training. The effects on cardiorespiratory and muscle systems have led scientists to consider its application in the field of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this review is to report the effects and interest of HIIT in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure (HF), as well as in persons with high cardiovascular risk. A non-systematic review of the literature in the MEDLINE database using keywords 'exercise', 'high-intensity interval training', 'interval training'…

Editorial. L’agroécologie, une science, un concept, des pratiques culturales, un mouvement politique. Bref historique

2020

International audience; Le terme « agroécologie » s’adresse à la fois à une science, un concept, des pratiques culturales et des mouvements politiques. Il existe de nombreuses définitions de l’agroécologie qui varient d’une institution et d’un pays à l’autre. À la fin des années 1920, la tentative de fusionner l’agronomie et l’écologie est née avec le développement du domaine de l’écologie des cultures dont la principale préoccupation était d’associer des conditions optimales de culture avec la géographie des territoires. L’agronome américain B.M. Bensin est le premier à avoir publié le terme « agroécologie » en 1928. Jusque dans les années 60, le terme agroécologie faisait uniquement référ…

The Crosstalk of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC), Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation in Protective and Adaptive Responses

2020

International audience; The potential use of stem cell-based therapies for the repair and regeneration of various tissues and organs is a major goal in repair medicine. Stem cells are classified by their potential to differentiate into functional cells. Compared with other sources, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the advantage of being abundant and easy to obtain. ADSCs are considered to be tools for replacing, repairing, and regenerating dead or damaged cells. The capacity of ADSCs to maintain their properties depends on the balance of complex signals in their microenvironment. Their properties and the associated outcomes are in part regulated by reactive oxygen species, which medi…

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

2016

Seuls les 100 premiers auteurs dont les auteurs INRA ont été entrés dans la notice. La liste complète des auteurs et de leurs affiliations est accessible sur la publication.; International audience; In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues…

Transparent boundary condition for acoustic propagation in duct with bulk-reacting liner

2012

International audience; The proposed study focuses on the modeling of acoustic wave propagation in infinite guides lined with bulk-reacting sound absorbing material which allows acoustic propagation through the lining. The finite element method is used, it is then necessary to limit the numerical domain by an artificial boundary on which a transparent boundary condition is introduced. The method described in this work consist to write the transparent condition as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator (DTN) based on a modal decomposition of the pressure in the guide. This study is a generalization of recent works with absorbent materials modeled with impedances boundary condition. The presented me…

Opérateur DtN pour les guides cylindriques à paroi traitée en présence d'un écoulement uniforme

2010

National audience; On s'intéresse au problème de rayonnement acoustique d'une source dans une conduite cylindrique axisymétrique infinie dont la paroi est recouverte d'un matériau absorbant en présence d'un écoulement uniforme. Dans le but d'utiliser la méthode des éléments finis, le domaine infini doit être tronqué par une frontière artificielle sur laquelle une condition limite transparente est introduite. La méthode exposée dans ce travail consiste à écrire la condition transparente sous la forme d'un opérateur Dirichlet to Neumann (DtN) obtenu par la généralisation de travaux réalisés dans le cas d'un guide 2D infini. Cet opérateur est basé sur une décomposition modale qu'il est facile …
