Spatio-Temporal Beam Mapping for Studying Nonlinear Dynamics in Graded Index Multimode Fiber
2020
We experimentally demonstrate high-resolution mapping of the spatio-temporal dynamics of the beam cleaning process in graded index multimode fibers. This high-resolution characterization reveals the time-dependent nature of the beam self-cleaning process.
Raman investigation of the drawing effects on Ge-doped fibers
2011
International audience; We have investigated the Raman activity of various germanosilicate fibers and their associated preforms. Our data indicate an enhancement in small rings' (3-member rings) concentration in the silica-based matrix of the fibers during the drawing process. The generation of such rings appears compatible with an increase of the sample density and fictive temperature. The data regarding the drawing effects on the fiber stress appear less clear, and it is possible to suggest that in some cases the drawing could lower the tensile stress. Finally we have also provided evidence that changing the drawing conditions within the usual range of application leads to no significant …
Environmental effects on the natural vibrations of nanoplatelets: a high pressure study.
2017
International audience; Resonant acoustic modes from ultrathin CdS colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) are probed under high pressure using low frequency Raman spectroscopy. In particular we focus on the characterization of the recently evidenced mass load effect that is responsible for a significant downshift of the NPL breathing frequency due to the inert mass of organic ligands. We show that a key parameter in the observation of the mass effect is whether the surrounding medium is able to support THz acoustic wave propagation, at a frequency close to that of the inorganic vibrating core. At low pressures, surface organic molecules show a single particle-like behavior and a strong mass effect …
High speed cleaving of crystals with ultrafast Bessel beams
2017
International audience; We develop a novel concept for ultra-high speed cleaving of crystalline materials with femtosecond lasers. Using Bessel beams in single shot, fracture planes can be induced nearly all along the Bessel zone in sapphire. For the first time, we show that only for a pulse duration below 650 fs, a single fracture can be induced in sapphire, while above this duration, cracks appear in all crystallographic orientations. We determine the influential parameters which are polarization direction, crystallographic axes and scanning direction. This is applied to cleave sapphire with a spacing as high as 25 μm between laser impacts.
Micron-precision in cleaving glass using ultrafast bessel beams with engineered transverse beam shapes
2017
International audience; Ultrafast lasers in association to beam shaping have shown to be excellent candidates for transparent material processing. Non-diffractive solutions such as Bessel beams allows for precise energy deposition since they are robust to undesired non-linear effects and as they do not distort along the propagation. This offers important opportunities in laser-assisted cleaving, i.e. mechanical medium separation after single-pass laser illumination. Here we break the Bessel beam cylindrical symmetry using a novel anisotropic and non-diffractive solutions to investigate both lateral intensity contributions on material response and induced processing effect for non-cylindrica…
Micro-Raman investigation of X or gamma irradiated Ge doped fibers
2011
International audience; Micro-Raman spectra have been recorded on Ge doped optical fibers before and after 10 keV-X or c-ray irradiation up to doses of 1 MGy (X-ray) or 7.8 MGy (-ray). Our data provide evidence that, at such dose levels, the glass matrix is not modified in a detectable way. We observed that varying the Ge doping levels from 0 to about 11 wt.%, X or radiation sensitivity of the overall matrix remains unchanged. Such results are observed for fibers obtained with drawing conditions within the usual range used for the fabrication of specialty fibers as radiation-tolerant waveguides. Our data support the potentiality of fiberbased sensors using glass properties, e.g. Raman sc…
Tensorial development of the rovibronic Hamiltonian and transition moment operators for octahedral molecules
2001
Abstract We present a development of the Hamiltonian, dipole moment and polarizability operators of octahedral XY 6 molecules in a degenerate electronic state. These rovibronic operators are written with the aid of a tensorial formalism derived from the one already used in Dijon in the case of molecules in a non-degenerate electronic state. Electronic operators are defined from the group theory properties. Transition moment operators are introduced in order to consider rovibronic transitions. Spectrum simulations are made thanks to a new version of the HTDS sofware [J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 66 (2000) 16] used for the calculation of rovibrational spectra.
High-Pressure Raman Scattering of CaWO4 Up to 46.3 GPa: Evidence of a New High-Pressure Phase
2014
International audience; The high-pressure behavior of CaWO4 wasanalyzed at room temperature by Raman spectroscopy.Pressure was generated using a diamond-anvil cell and Ne aspressure-transmitting medium. The pressure range of previousstudies has been extended from 23.4 to 46.3 GPa. Theexperiments reveal the existence of two reversible phasetransitions. The first one occurs from the tetragonal scheelitestructure to the monoclinic fergusonite structure and isobserved at 10 GPa. The onset of a previously unknownsecond transition is found at 33.4 GPa. The two high-pressurephases coexist up to 39.4 GPa. The Raman spectra measuredfor the low-pressure phase and the first high-pressure phase arecons…
Symmetry breakings in a metal organic framework with a confined guest
2020
The MOF $[{\text{Fe(tvp)}}_{2}{(\text{NCS})}_{2}]\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}2\text{BzCHO}$ is demonstrated to undergo a complex sequence of phase transitions and spin-crossover behavior of its constitutive ${\text{Fe}}^{\text{II}}$ ions upon adsorption of benzaldehyde guest molecules. Our study, combining Raman and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements on a single crystal, reveals that the conversion from the pure high-spin to the pure low-spin phases implies a rich sequence of intermediate phases, with symmetry breaking forming at least three different space groups. These different symmetries involve spin-state ordering, ligand ordering, and guest ordering, interpreted …
18 parameter deformations of the Peregrine breather of order 10 solutions of the NLS equation
2015
We present here new solutions of the focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation which appear as deformations of the Peregrine breather of order 10 with 18 real parameters. With this method, we obtain new families of quasi-rational solutions of the NLS equation, and we obtain explicit quotients of polynomial of degree 110 in x and t by a product of an exponential depending on t. We construct new patterns of different types of rogue waves and recover the triangular configurations as well as rings and concentric rings as found for the lower-orders.
