Microsporidian disease of the invasive amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus and the potential for its transfer to local invertebrate fauna.
2012
12 pages; International audience; Invasive species may introduce novel pathogens to a colonised area. Most of the time emerging pathogens are detected a posteriori, but recognition of a priori emergence of an invasive disease by host shift may be useful for predictive purposes. Here, we studied if the microsporidian parasite Cucumispora dikerogammari infecting the invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus, has the potential to become an emergent disease in invaded rivers in Western and Central Europe. We first showed that this parasite decreases the survival of D. villosus in the later stages of infection development. However, the host reproduces earlier in response to the inf…
Effet du bruit dans le système de sine-Gordon
2015
National audience; Cette communication porte sur une étude numérique visant à montrer que le bruit peut permettre le déclenchement de modes Breather dans le système de sine-Gordon. Dans un premier temps, en l’absence de bruit, le phénomène de supratransmission introduit et quantifié par Geniet et Léon est vérifié : il existe une amplitude critique de l’excitation sinusoıdale au delà de laquelle le milieu transmet de l’énergie bien qu’excité en dehors de sa bande passante. Nous montrons que sous certaines conditions, le bruit peut faciliter l’apparition de ce phénomène de supratransmission et déclencher des modes Breather.
Supratransmission dans une ligne électrique de Klein-Gordon
2017
National audience; Nous présentons une ligne électrique dont la tension obéit aux équations de Klein-Gordon d’ordre 5afin d’en étudier les propriétés de transmission. Nous focalisons sur la transmission d’énergie en bande interdite,c’est à dire lorsque le système est excité en dehors de sa bande passante. Nous avons pu expérimentallement mettreen évidence que lorsque l’amplitude de l’excitation excède un seuil, le système génére des modes non linéaires deforte amplitude via le phénomène de supratransmission.
Energy transmission in the gap of nonlinear media triggered by deterministic and stochastic driving
2016
International audience; These past years, a growing interest has been devoted to the analysis of the response of nonlinearmedia to various excitations wether random or deterministic in order to better characterizetheir transmission properties [1, 2, 3]. Especially, since the introduction of the concept of soliton,the development of nonlinear electrical transmission lines has provided an efficient tool toexperimentally investigate the behaviour of these nonlinear waves [4]. Recently, some effortshave focused on the energy transmission in the gap of media obeying to equations deriving fromthe nonlinear Schr¨odinger model [5, 6]. Indeed, Geniet and Leon have shown that such nonlinearsystems, w…
Experimental demonstration of 160-GHz densely dispersion-managed soliton transmission in a single channel over 896 km of commercial fibers
2003
International audience; We experimentally demonstrate the first 160-GHz densely dispersion-managed soliton transmission in a single channel at 1550 nm over nearly 900 km using commercially available non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers. This performance has been achieved by using a 16 km-long recirculating loop configuration and an appropriate design of the dispersion map.
Generation of a 160-GHz transform-limited pedestal-free pulse train through multiwave mixing compression of a dual-frequency beat signal.
2002
International audience; We report the experimental generation of a 160-GHz picosecond pulse train at 1550 nm, using multiple four-wave mixing temporal compression of an initial dual-frequency beat signal in the anomalous-dispersion regime of a nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber. Complete intensity and phase characterizations of the pulse train were carried out by means of a frequency-resolved optical gating technique, showing that 1.27-ps transform-limited pedestal-free Gaussian pulses were generated.
Cascadability and efficiency of a saturable absorber device inserted into a SMF transmission line for future 160-Gbit/s all-optical reshaping applica…
2007
In this prospective work, we analyze the cascadability and reshaping properties of a quantum well microcavity saturable absorber (SA) device cascaded inside a RZ-signal SMF-based transmission line to annihilate the ghost-pulse phenomenon taking place in the "...01010101..." 160-Gbit/s 2-bit pattern.
Data Transmissions at 1.98 µm in cm-long SiGe Waveguides
2017
International audience; We demonstrate an error-free transmission of 10-Gbit/s optical signals along a SiGe waveguide at a wavelength of 1.98 μm. Bit error rate measurements confirm the absence of penalty during the transmission through a 2.5-cm long waveguide having a width of 2.2 μm.
Growth of zinc-blende GaN on muscovite mica by molecular beam epitaxy
2021
Abstract The mechanisms of plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaN on muscovite mica were investigated. Using a battery of techniques, including scanning and transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, cathodoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction, it was possible to establish that, in spite of the lattice symmetry mismatch, GaN grows in epitaxial relationship with mica, with the [11–20] GaN direction parallel to [010] direction of mica. GaN layers could be easily detached from the substrate via the delamination of the upper layers of the mica itself, discarding the hypothesis of a van der Waals growth mode. Mixture of wurtzite (hexagonal) and z…
Role of the non-infective stage of the acanthocephalan parasite Pomphorhychus laevis on the behavioural manipulation of its amphipod intermediate host
2012
In trophically-transmitted parasites, exploitation strategies of the intermediate host have been selected, in a way increasing parasites transmission probabilities to their definitive host. Particularly, numerous parasites are able to alter their intermediate host behaviour, a phenomenon called ‘behavioural manipulation’. This manipulation only occurs when the parasite developmental stage (or larval stage) is infective for the definitive host. Before reaching this stage, the development of parasite larvae is not sufficiently advanced to allow establishment in the definitive host (this stage is thus called ‘non-infective’). Early transmission of a non-infective stage therefore implies parasi…
