Approche couplée pour le développement de matériaux optiques résistants aux radiations
2011
National audience; De très nombreuses applications sont aujourd'hui envisagées pour les matériaux optiques en environnement radiatif. Ce regain d'intérêt pour l'usage de verres ou fibres optiques dans des environnements hostiles s'explique par leurs avantages inhérents en particulier leur immunité électromagnétique. En revanche, il est également bien établi que les radiations entrainent la génération de défauts ponctuels dans verres amorphes. Ces défauts vont, au niveau macroscopique, entrainer une altération des propriétés optiques du matériau, le plus souvent de la silice amorphe pure ou dopée. Ainsi, les fibres optiques vont, sous irradiation, voir leur atténuation linéique augmenter, po…

The relevance of point defects in studying silica-based materials from bulk to nanosystems
2019
The macroscopic properties of silica can be modified by the presence of local microscopic modifications at the scale of the basic molecular units (point defects). Such defects can be generated during the production of glass, devices, or by the environments where the latter have to operate, impacting on the devices’ performance. For these reasons, the identification of defects, their generation processes, and the knowledge of their electrical and optical features are relevant for microelectronics and optoelectronics. The aim of this manuscript is to report some examples of how defects can be generated, how they can impact device performance, and how a defect species or a physical phenomenon …
Near‐IR Radiation‐Induced Attenuation of Aluminosilicate Optical Fibers
2021
The X-ray radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) growth kinetics are studied online in different single-mode aluminosilicate optical fibers in the near-IR (NIR) domain to evaluate their potential in terms of dosimetry. The optical fibers differ by Al contents, core sizes, drawing parameters, and also by a preform deposition process. The data show no dependence of the RIA on all these parameters, a positive result for the design of point or distributed radiation detectors exploiting RIA to monitor the dose. The RIA growth rate is unchanged for dose rates changing from 0.073 to 6.25 Gy(SiO2) s−1, and the RIA linearly increases with the dose up to 2 kGy(SiO2). Small but noticeable RIA changes are…
Even harmonic pulse train generation by cross-polarization-modulation seeded instability in optical fibers
2012
International audience; We show that, by properly adjusting the relative state of polarization of the pump and of a weak modulation, with a frequency such that at least one of its even harmonics falls within the band of modulation instability, one obtains a fully modulated wave at the second or higher even harmonic of the initial modulation. An application of this principle to the generation of a 80-GHz optical pulse train with high extinction ratio from a 40-GHz weakly modulated pump is experimentally demonstrated using a nonzero dispersion shifted fiber in the telecom C band.
Signal processing in photonic crystals and nanostructures
2006
International audience; Optical devices employing photonic crystals and novel nanostructure materials may exhibit useful properties for applications to all-optical signal processing. In this work we analyze as a first example four-wave mixing of polarized beams in photonic crystal fibers. We show that by properly tuning the pump wavelength and the linear dispersion properties of the fiber one may obtain broadband parametric amplification and frequency conversion. Next we consider the in-line periodic amplification of short optical pulses by means of quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers. We show by numerical simulations that pattern-free amplification of a 40 Gbit/s soliton signal at…
