Contrôle quantique optimal et robuste dans des systèmes de petite dimension
2020
Optimal control theory (OCT) is the basic and comprehensive method to obtain the optimal solutions of quantum systems controlled by external fields. It provides a powerful set of tools and concepts. One of the goals of the thesis is to design the technique of OCT in two- and three-state quantum systems taking into account losses and robustness, which is of primary importance for the implementation of control techniques in a broad class of platforms.Based on inverse-engineering techniques and the Pontryagin maximum principle (PMP), we establish and test the different optimal strategies showing how to control the transfer in three-level quantum systems considering energy- and time-minimum opt…
Line coupling in Anisotropic Raman Branches
1994
Direct connection between collisional Raman cross sections and state‐to‐state rotational ones permits, within the sudden approximation, to evidence drastic decouplings from isotropic to anisotropic lines. These decouplings are consistent with the results obtained by using the strong collision model. Convenient energy corrections to the sudden approximation are used for N2 to calculate the resulting effects on the isotropic and anisotropic Q‐branch profiles in a large density range (several hundred bars). The comparison of the calculations with experimental coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and stimulated Raman (SRS) spectra of nitrogen exhibits a good agreement. Such effects coul…
Experimental parabolic pulse generation with an active dispersion decreasing fiber
2008
We experimentally demonstrate the use of an hybrid configuration to generate parabolic pulses. We combine dispersion decrease with distributed gain. This leads to several benefits on the parabolic generated pulses compared with a passive configuration.

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.
H-2 vibrational spectral signatures in binary and ternary mixtures: theoretical model, simulation and application to CARS thermometry in high pressur…
2001
International audience; A summary of the main results obtained by the two groups in the field of H-2 vibrational spectral line signatures for various mixtures. in connection with CARS diagnostics of H-2-O-2 combustion systems, is presented. H-2-X Systems may have specific large inhomogeneous spectral features, due to the dependence of the line broadening and line shifting on the (H-2) radiator speed, particularly at high temperature. Thus, careful attention has to be paid to rigorously analyze such features, both from the experimental point of view (Dijon) and from the theoretical one (Besancon). Applications of the present results to high-pressure H-2/air flame thermometry are also briefly…
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 …
