Ondes scélérates et statistiques extrêmes dans les systèmes optiques fibrés
2011
This thesis deals with extremes statistics which has become an attractive subject in optics since a comparison with oceanic rogue waves has been proposed at the end of 2007. We report some potential mechanisms stimulating the rogue wave formation in the context of guided propagation of light in optical fibers. In a first part, we explore optical rogue waves in supercontinuums generated by fourth-order modulation instability and we propose a stabilization method based on the use of two continuous seeds. Then, we present a detailed study on Raman fiber amplifiers where we determine the conditions of emergence of giant structures : in presence of a partially incoherent pumping wave, a quasi-in…
About the role of hamiltonian singularities in controlled systems : applications in quantum mechanics and nonlinear optics
2012
This thesis has two goals: the first one is to improve the control techniques in quantum mechanics, and more specifically in NMR, by using the tools of geometric optimal control. The second one is the study of the influence of Hamiltonian singularities in controlled systems. The chapter about optimal control study three classical problems of NMR : the inversion problem, the influence of the radiation damping term, and the steady state technique. Then, we apply the geometric optimal control to the problem of the population transfert in a three levels quantum system to recover the STIRAP scheme.The two next chapters study Hamiltonian singularities. We show that they allow to control the polar…
Evolutionary algorithm for fiber laser in ultrashort pulse regime
2016
This thesis deals with the generation of ultrashort pulses within a fiber laser cavity through the automatic optimization of its parameters by an evolutionary algorithm. The interest of this subject comes from the difficulty to systematically explore dynamics in a large domain of experimental parameters. We have shown that it is possible to implement an evolutionary algorithm on fiber laser cavity with appropriate precautions. We have experimentally demonstrated for the first time the mode locking of a laser cavity only using the optimization of polarization controllers through an automatic and self-learning procedure. We also have demonstrated that selecting the mode locking from it radio-…
CARACTÉRISATION ET MODÉLISATION DE PEIGNES DE FRÉQUENCES KERR DANS DES CAVITÉS LASER BRILLOUIN À FIBRE
2022
Nous étudions une cavité en anneau non réciproque simple et reconfigurable pour générer des peignes de fréquences optiques accordables. Nous démontrons que des peignes cohérents peuvent être obtenus en exploitant finement la rétrodiffusion Brillouin stimulée et le mélange à quatre ondes en cascade dans la cavité à fibre non-linéaire.
Synthèse de nouveaux agents bimodaux hydrosolubles pour l'IRM, l'imagerie nucléaire, l'imagerie biphotonique et la génération de second harmonique
2015
The goal of my PhD studies was to synthesize new compounds for possible medical imaging applications. The first part of my thesis focused on the synthesis of heteroleptic ligands to achieve the chelation of two different metals aimed at addressing two types of medical imaging. We first synthesized porphyrins, which are well-known for the chelation of numerous transition metals. We focused on copper, whose copper-64 isotope is a β+ emitter usable in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). These porphyrins have been coupled with a DOTA derivative. This molecule, metallated with gadolinium, is well-known in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Our compounds display encouraging relaxivities for MRI ap…
Development of non-linear nano-structured compounds for the generation of ultrafast impulse dynamics in fiber LASER cavity
2019
My thesis work presented in this doctoral dissertation has started a new research axis within the Carnot Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Burgundy, and is part of the "Information processing devices" program of the Labex ACTION. This research consortium aims to optimize all the steps of an information processing system, using nano-structured materials and non-linear functionalities. In this context, this thesis focuses on the generation of optical signals in the near infrared, with the main objective of hybridizing integrated photonics with fiber laser cavities. These innovative hybrid LASERs offer, by design, many advantages that are particularly sought-after in the field of telecommunicati…
Nonlinear phase shift measurement by heterodyne detection in waveguides optics
2022
Nonlinear optics has been a productive field of research and investigation for a few decades now, but the rapid progression of photonic integration platforms in recent years has opened up a whole new range of applications. On-chip integration of effective saturable absorbers and secondary sources including Brillouin laser, supercontinua, or frequency combs are few examples of the very wide possibilities offered by nonlinear nanophotonics. In this context, materials with large third-order optical nonlinearities become highly sought after, as they enable the development of nonlinear functionalities at low input powers. Given a large number of potential candidates as material for nonlinear nan…
Self-organization of incoherent optical waves : Condensation, thermalization and repolarization
2019
The subject of this thesis concerns the study of phenomena of self-organization of incoherentoptical waves. This work is essentially theoretical and numerical and relies on different formalisms of waveturbulence theory, the Hamiltonian singularities, and different experiments.The first part of the thesis deals with the irreversible processes of thermalization and condensation ofincoherent waves. The phenomenon of condensation is characterized by the formation of a large scale co-herent structure (condensate) that remains immersed in a sea of small scale fluctuations (uncondensedparticules). In spite of the large propagation lengths required to reach the condensed equilibrium state, wehave i…

Study of supercontinuum sources based on tellurite glass optical fibers for mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy applied to gas sensing
2015
This work focuses on the development of mid-infrared supercontinuum light sources and their application for gas detection through absorption spectroscopy. The study of supercontinuum sources is based on nonlinear ultrashort pulse propagation in tellurite glass (80TeO2-10ZnO-10Na2O) and used in three different forms, namely a thin bulk sample, a microstructured suspended-core fiber, and a tapered suspended-core fiber. These technical means adapt themselves to distinct laser sources commercially available, thus optimizing the implementation of ultrawide-band infrared light sources. Experimental observations are compared to corresponding numerical simulations, thus pointing out the different u…
