Nonlinear Characterisation of an AsSe Chalcogenide Holey Fiber
2009
oral session TuA " Highly Nonlinear Fibers " [TuA1]; International audience; We report the nonlinear characterization of a chalcogenide holey fiber, based on the AsSe glass composition. A nonlinear coefficient as high as 15 000 W-1 km-1 has been measured.
Optical Amplification in Hollow-Core Negative-Curvature Fibers Doped with Perovskite CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals
2019
| openaire: EC/H2020/820423/EU//S2QUIP We report a hollow-core negative-curvature fiber (HC-NCF) optical signal amplifier fabricated by the filling of the air microchannels of the fiber with all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). The optimum fabrication conditions were found to enhance the optical gain, up to +3 dB in the best device. Experimental results were approximately reproduced by a gain assisted mechanism based on the nonlinear optical properties of the PNCs, indicating that signal regeneration can be achieved under low pump powers, much below the threshold of stimulated emission. The results can pave the road of new functionalities of the HC-NCF with PNCs, such as op…
Coherent control in single plasmonic nanostructures
2015
Coherent control in plasmonic nanostructures is a door to space-time confinement of optical excitation and femtosecond super-resolution spectroscopy. Towards this goal, here we demonstrate femtosecond pulse-shaping of single gold nanostructure and local phase compensation.
All-fiber processing of terahertz-bandwidth signals based on cascaded tapered fibers
2013
Tapered single-mode fibers are employed to perform dynamic pulse shaping in a bandwidth of several terahertz. The transfer function of cascaded biconical tapers is controlled by introducing a phase shift into one of them through mechanical stretching. It is a simple and low-cost technique with potential to process signals with bandwidths as large as those allocated by standard optical fiber while introducing little degradation. Femtosecond pulses are shaped to prove the concept. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America
Towards CEP stable, single-cycle pulse compression with bulk material
2010
We demonstrate both experimentally and numerically that self-steepening during propagation in a hollow-fiber followed by linear propagation through glass in the anomalous dispersion enables pulse compression down to 1.6 cycles at 1.8 µm wavelength.
All-fibered high-quality low duty-cycle 20-GHz and 40-GHz picosecond pulse sources
2007
International audience; In this work, we demonstrate all-fibered 20-GHz and 40-GHz picosecond pulse sources with duty cycles as low as 1/14. The pulse train is achieved via the high-quality compression of an initial sinusoidal beating through four segments of optical fibers. General design rules are proposed and experimental results are in agreement with numerical predictions.
320GHz, 640GHz and 1THz femtosecond pulse sources based on multiple four wave mixing in highly non linear optical fibers
2006
Ultra-high repetition rate, transform-limited femtosecond pulse trains have been generated around 1555 nm at 320 GHz, 640 GHz and 1 THz through the compression of a dual frequency beat-signal in a highly nonlinear optical fiber.
Ultra-short pulse propagation in birefringent fibers—the projection operator method
2008
We examine the propagation of ultra-short optical light pulses in dispersion-managed birefringent fiber transmission systems, in which the pulse dynamics is governed by the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equations with higher-order linear and nonlinear optical effects. We derive the equations of motion in terms of pulse parameters such as amplitude, temporal position, width, chirp, frequency and phase, using a projection operator method, and we obtain the spatial dynamical behavior of picosecond and femtosecond pulse parameters. From our detailed analysis, we show that the stimulated Raman scattering has a strong impact on the pulse dynamics.
Spatial Simultons in 2D Photonic Crystals of Nonlinear Origin
2007
We observed for the very first time quadratic spatial solitons (simultons) in a two dimensional photonic lattice defined by periodic sign inversion of its susceptibilty. This is the first demonstration of quadratic self-confinement in a 2D purely nonlinear photonic crystal.

2005
International audience; We show that nonlinear optical loop mirrors can dramatically suppress the side peaks induced by the group delay ripples in chirped fiber gratings compensated dispersion-managed systems and significantly improve the system performance.
