Vegetation structure and greenness in Central Africa from Modis multi-temporal data.
2013
African forests within the Congo Basin are generally mapped at regional scale as broad-leaved evergreen forests, with a main distinction between terra-firme and swamp forests types. At the same time, commercial forest inventories, as well as national maps, have highlighted a strong spatial heterogeneity of forest types. A detailed vegetation map generated using consistent methods is needed to inform decision makers about spatial forest organisation and theirs relationships with environmental drivers in the context of global change. We propose a multi-temporal remotely sensed data approach to characterize vegetation types using vegetation index annual profiles. The classifications identified…
Influence de la symétrie et de la taille de la molécule adsorbée sur le processus d'adsorption des composés éthyléniques sur une zéolithe de topologi…
2005
This manuscript lies within the scope of the understanding of the stepped isotherm observed during adsorption, on MFI zeolites, of some organic compounds which have a similar size to that of the pore opening of zeolite. During this work, the process of adsorption of ethylene and tetramethylethylene is initially studied by gravimetry and then by in situ infrared spectroscopy. This last technique enables to follow simultaneously the modifications of the adsorbent and the adsorbate. The analysis of these data lets suppose that the step in adsorption isotherm can be explained by taking account simultaneously of the symmetry and the size of the admolecule. In addition to the infrared bands chara…
Mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in chalcogenide and telluride fibers for sensor devices
2019
This thesis reports on the progress made during my PhD concerning supercontinuum generation and its application in two types of materials: chalcogenide and tellurite glasses. Concerning the chalcogenide axis, two new arsenic-free compositions are developed: Ge20Se60Te20 and Ge20Se70Te10. Thermal and optical properties of these two glasses are studied and two types of fibers are manufactured: a step-index fiber and a suspended core fiber. The generation of supercontinuum in these two fibres, pumped by an optical parametric amplifier, gives competitive results compared to the current state of the art of supercontinuum generation in chalcogenide fibres. Supercontinuums widening between 2 and 1…
The Indian-French Trishna Mission: Earth Observation in the Thermal Infrared with High Spatio-Temporal Resolution
2018
International audience; The monitoring of the water cycle at the Earth surface which tightly interacts with the climate change processes as well as a number of practical applications (agriculture, soil and water quality assessment, irrigation and water resource management, etc...) requires surface temperature measurements at local scale. Such is the goal of the Indian-French high spatio-temporal TRISHNA mission (Thermal infraRed Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural resource Assessment). The scientific objectives of the mission and research work conducted to consolidate the mission specifications are presented. Progress in modelling of surface fluxes is then discussed. The main spec…
Génération de supercontinuum infrarouge et enjeux de vieillissement au sein de fibres optiques à coeur suspendu hautement non linéaires en verre de c…
2014
The work reported in this thesis deals with the fabrication of suspended core chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) for supercontinuum generation (SCG) beyond 6 μm. In this context, As2S3-based suspended-core MOFs were fabricated under vacuum, and loss threshold of 1-2 dB/m at 2.9µm were systematically registered. In addition, MOFs were designed with core diameter ranging from 1.5 to 3.5µm, allowing therefore to control the MOF's dispersive properties and to shift corresponding zero dispersion wavelength to 2.0-2.5 µm range. SCG experiments were performed by pumping the fabricated MOFs in their anomalous dispersion regime by means of tunable femtosecond laser source. Simultaneo…
Study of new tellurite glasses in the TeO2-ZnO-La2O3 (TZL) system for the manufacturing of mid-infrared multimaterial optical fibers and specialty op…
2023
This thesis work was carried out using tellurite glasses from the TeO2-ZnO-La2O3 (TZL) ternary diagram for optical fibers manufacturing. The choice to use this system is motivated by the ambition to improve the transmission of optical signals within oxide glasses for which absorption bands related to OH groups are present in the transparency window. A structural study is first carried out on these glasses by Raman spectroscopy in order to understand the influence of the composition on physicochemical properties (especially on optical and thermal properties) but also to estimate the ability of a vitreous matrix to reorganize when subjected to a thermal solicitation such as the preform-to-fib…
Study of the hydrolysis of lithium hydride
2015
The hydrolysis of LiH at room temperature and under low water vapor pressure (PH2O < 10 hPa) is investigated by thermogravimetry and FTIR spectroscopy with low sample mass. Then, to be closer to industrial conditions, hydrolysis of LiH is studied by manometry either in closed (adjustable PH2O) or open (constant PH2O) system using larger amounts of sample and heavy water. Products of the reaction are characterized by X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. The first set of experiments show that the mechanism of hydrolysis starts with the formation of lithium oxide Li2O. Then, when the oxide layer is sufficiently thick, the hydrolysis reaction is followed by the formation of lithium hydroxid…
Te-As-Se glass microstructured optical fiber for the middle infrared
2009
International audience; We present the first fabrication, to the best of our knowledge, of chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers in Te-As-Se glass, their optical characterization, and numerical simulations in the middle infrared. In a first fiber, numerical simulations exhibit a single-mode behavior at 3.39 and 9.3 μm, in good agreement with experimental near-field captures at 9.3 μm. The second fiber is not monomode between 3.39 and 9.3 μm, but the fundamental losses are 9 dB/m at 3:39 μm and 6 dB/m at 9.3 μm. The experimental mode field diameters are compared to the theoretical ones with a good accordance.
Fourth-order cascaded Raman shift in AsSe chalcogenide suspended-core fiber pumped at 2 μm
2011
International audience; Cascaded Raman wavelength shifting up to the fourth order ranging from 2092 to 2450nm is demonstrated using a nanosecond pump at 1995nm in a low-loss As38Se62 suspended-core microstructured fiber. These four Stokes shifts are obtained with a low peak power of 11W, and only 3W are required to obtain three shifts. The Raman gain coefficient for the fiber is estimated to (1.6 +-0.5)x 10e−11 m/W at 1995nm. The positions and the amplitudes of the Raman peaks are well reproduced by the numerical simulations of the nonlinear propagation.
Identification of markers that can be recognised using spectroscopic sensors and which reflect key stages in the cooking of meat and fish
2016
One of the purposes of the Opticook project is to install spectroscopic sensors in ovens, so equipping them with non intrusive tools allowing following cooking process of meat and fish. The hypothesis on which sensors were developed was: are muscular proteins proper probes to discriminate among several cooking degrees? Thus, at the beginning of the project several tools were used to characterise effect of several cooking degrees on macroscopic properties (texture and colour) of beef, chicken and cod fillet samples. Following, calorimetry and spectroscopic techniques were used to study transformations at molecular scale. In particular, visible spectroscopy followed denaturation of haemprotei…
