Statistiques extrêmes dans les amplificateurs Raman fibrés
2010
National audience; Nous étudions expérimentalement et analytiquement l'influence des effets de déplétion de la pompe sur la statistique extrême dans un amplificateur Raman fibré. Nous soulignons également l'impact de la dispersion de la fibre.
AMPLIFICATION ET CONTROLE TOUT-OPTIQUE DE LA POLARISATION D'UN SIGNAL TELECOM CADENCE A 10 GB/S AU SEIN D'UNE FIBRE OPTIQUE
2012
National audience; Nous démontrons la possibilité de combiner l'amplification Raman et l'attraction de polarisation d'un signal retour-à-zéro cadencé à 10 Gb/s au moyen d'une onde pompe laser contra-propagative dans un unique segment de fibre
Demonstration of polarization pulling in a fiber-optical parametric amplifier
2012
International audience; We report the experimental demonstration of all-optical polarization pulling of an initially polarization-scrambled signal using a fiber-optical parametric amplifier. Nonlinear polarization pulling has been achieved for both the signal and idler with 25 dB gain.
Temporal coherence in mirrorless optical parametric oscillators
2012
International audience; One of the unique features of mirrorless optical parametric oscillators based on counterpropagating three-wave interactions is the narrow spectral width of the wave generated in the backward direction. In this work, we in- vestigate experimentally and numerically the influence that a strong phase modulation in the pump has on the spectral bandwidths of the parametric waves and on the efficiency of the nonlinear interaction. The effects of group-velocity mismatch and group-velocity dispersion are elucidated. In particular, it is shown that the substan- tial increase in temporal coherence of the backward-generated wave can be obtained even for pumping with a temporally…
Multidimensional shaping of spatiotemporal waves in multimode nonlinear fibers
2019
Recent experiments have shown that nonlinear wave propagation in multimode optical fibers leads to complex spatio-temporal phenomena. In this talk, we introduce new approaches for the control and optimization of nonlinear beam reshaping in the spatial, temporal and spectral dimensions. The first approach applies to spatial beam self-cleaning the technique of transverse wavefront shaping, which permits to launch an optimized input mode combination, that results in the stable generation of a whole nonlinear mode alphabet at the fiber output. The second approach introduces a longitudinal tapering of the core diameter of multimode active and passive fibers, which permits to generate ultra-wideb…
All optical solition-based 2R regeneration at 170 Gbps
2010
[NMB4]; International audience; We report the numerical and experimental studies of a spectrally filtered-based all-optical 2R regenerator at 170 Gbps. The fiber device is combined with a fast saturable absorber. BER assessment exhibits a receiver sensitivity improvement.
Generation of parabolic pulses and applications for optical telecommunications
2009
International audience; Parabolic pulses in optical fibers have stimulated an increasing number of applications. We review here the physics underlying the generation of such self-similar pulses as well as the results obtained in a wide-range of passive or active experimental configurations.
Pulse transition to similaritons in normally dispersive fibre amplifiers
2013
selected by the editors of Journal of Optics as a Highlight of 2013a video linked to the experiments can be seen at : http://youtu.be/thbXaW91D5g; International audience; A detailed experimental characterization of the transition process of an initially Gaussian pulse to the asymptotic self-similar parabolic solution in optical fibre amplifiers operating in the normal dispersion regime is performed.
Universal soliton pattern formations in passively mode-locked fiber lasers
2011
International audience; We investigate multiple-soliton pattern formations in a figure-of-eight passively mode-locked fiber laser. Operation in the anomalous dispersion regime with a double-clad fiber amplifier allows generation of up to several hundreds of solitons per round trip. We report the observation of remarkable soliton distributions: soliton gas, soliton liquid, soliton polycrystal, and soliton crystal, thus indicating the universality of such complexes.
Molecular characterization of cyclic and obligate parthenogens in the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.)
1996
Holocyclic clones of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) reproduce by cyclic parthenogenesis, whereas anholocyclic individuals are obligate parthenogens. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and random amplified polymorphic DNA markers in R . padi as well as plasmid DNA markers of its bacterial endosymbiont, Buchnera aphidicola , were examined to determine the extent of genetic divergence between clones with these differing breeding systems. These analyses revealed that cyclically parthenogenetic lineages possessed differing mtDNA and plasmid haplotypes than most obligately asexual clones. The extent of sequence divergence between these maternally inherited molecules suggests a relatively ancient origin…
