High bit rate optical pulses sources generation and microstructured chalcogenide fibers characterizations
2011
This memory of thesis s' registered voter in the context of the FUTUR project financed by l'ANR and concerning the development of optical finctions fot the high bit-rate transmissions in the Network heart and carries on very high rates optical fibers sources generation and the optical chalcogenide microstructured fiber charaterization. For this purpose, we study the linear and non-linear characteristics of microstructured chalcogenide fibers conceived and realized in various collaborations within the framework of the ANR FUTUR project. For that a great number of characterizations methods were developed giving a comparison between a standard single mode fiber and there microstructured chalco…
Simulation d'images d'un futur imageur multispectral géostationaire dédié à la couleur de l'eau : étude de l'influence des angles d'observation et d'…
2011
Improvements of optical sensors now make it possible to launch medium spatial and high spectral resolution sensors on the Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO). The GEO allows sensors to observe the Earth with high temporal resolution, unlike Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The objective of this thesis is to simulate radiance images that would be provided by a theoretical ocean color sensor, on a geostationary orbit, in order to characterize the images to be acquired, to specify the future instruments and to validate the image processing algorithms. For this purpose, we have combined a radiative transfer model for ocean waters (Hydrolight) and a radiative transfer model for the atmosphere (MODT…
Fiber-based light source for biomedical applications
2013
This manuscript presents the work done concerning the development of a light source used for biomedical imaging and more particularly for coherent Raman scattering imaging. In fact an efficient broadcasting of these ones is hampered by the need of two synchronized and wavelength shifted pulses. As so, the handiness and frequency conversion capabilities of nonlinear fiber optics are used to circumvent this technological lock. First of all, an easy wavelength tunable source is set by the use of the self-shifting in optical frequency of a soliton. A study of the main fiber parameters lead to shifts of 320 to more than 500 nm which allows interesting molecular resonances imaging (≈ 1000-4000 cm…
Supercontinuum generation in chalcogenide: application to gas spectroscopy in atmospheric band III
2023
This thesis work aims to contribute to the development of new fiber sources emitting over a wide range of wavelengths in the IR, in particular to detect greenhouse gases in the mid-infrared range. Our spectroscopy results with nitrous oxide N2O and methane CH4 are obtained in band III. To achieve this, the generation of supercontinuum (SC) covering band III was made possible by using chalcogenide optical fibers, purified and free of highly toxic elements according to REACH regulations, in particular arsenic and antimony. The fibrable vitreous composition belonging to the Ge-Se-Te ternary system fits perfectly into the context of sustainable development, it is the one that has been identifie…
ALIGNEMENT UNI ET TRIDIMENSIONNEL DE MOLÉCULES PAR IMPULSION LASER FEMTOSECONDE
2007
This thesis is devoted to the study of the alignment of linear and asymmetric top molecules generated by an intense laser pulse. In the case of short pulses with respect to molecular rotation, periodic alignment appears in field-free conditions after the extinction of the field. We study theoretically and experimentally the effects of intensity, temperature and polarization of the electric field on produced alignment. If the field is linearly polarized, the interaction leads to the alignment of the most polarizable axis of the molecule. If the field is elliptically polarized, the pulse can generate a simultaneous alignment of the three principal axes of inertia of an asymmetric top molecule…
Visual scale factor for speed perception rendering in car driving simulation
2010
Speed perception is an important task that the driver must perform continuously to control his/her vehicle. It appears that many factors influence this perception: height of the point of view, field of view, realism of the environment, but also realism of audio and proprioceptive rendering. If some high-performance car driving simulators are able to render motion satisfactorily according to all these criteria, it is not always the case. As a result, speed perception is thus often under estimated, leading into producing higher speeds than in real conditions. Perceptual validity is then not good enough to study driver's behavior. To solve this problem, a technique has recently seen the light,…
Interaction en champ proche entre une sonde nanométrique et le champ de composants à cristal photonique:- interaction faible, microscopie spatialemen…
2008
With the improvement of fabrication techniques, the nanophotonics and more especially the photonics crystals which are periodic structure at the Wavelength scale have been recently developed. In this work, by using a scanning near-field optical microscope, we study such components. Firslty, we use the local probe to visualize the light distribution inside photonic crystal microcavities etched into semiconductor III/V. We focus us on the explanation of the near-field maps formation and on the probe influence on these maps. Thus, we have visualize degeneracy splitting of optical cavity modes and clearly observed in near-field cavity modes which were not visible in far-field. Moreover, in the …
Etude en champ proche et en champ lointain de composants périodiquement nanostructurés : cristaux photoniques et tamis à photons
2004
Recently, a new class of optical components is appeared. Its main characteristic is to be formed by a periodical sub-wavelength pattern, leading to the apparition of a spectral domain where propagation of light inside the structure is forbidden -- a photonic bandgap. This work is devoted to the study in the near- and far-field of two kinds of periodical optical components: photonic crystals (PCs) and nanostructured metallic films that exhibit the so-called enhanced transmission. First, we study two-dimensional PCs with a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) in collection mode. With this SNOM, we directly map the intensity distribution inside PC-based microcavities. We also evidence…
Alignment of linear molecules by short duration laser pulses
2005
Alignment of linear molecules is efficiently induced by strong linearly polarized laser pulses. In the case of short pulses with respect to molecular rotation, periodic alignment appears in field-free conditions after the extinction of the field. This manuscript presents three techniques where the value of allows to quantify alignment without molecular dissociation nor additional alignment. They use a weak time-delayed probe pulse which experiences the optical properties of an aligned sample and shows modification of its characteristics. The first of them measures a depolarization due to the birefringence of the sample. The second one is based on the defocusing produced by the spatial distr…
Polarisation attraction and incoherent modulation instability in optical fibers
2006
This thesis, entitled « Polarisation attraction and incoherent modulation instability in optical fibers », presents a theoretical and experimental study of two new processes from the nonlinear optic in optical fibers domain. We introduce in the first chapter some theoretical notions useful for the comprehension of this work. Then, we demonstrate in the second chapter that it is possible to generate some modulation instability in optical fibers using a partially coherent optical beam. We highlight and observe the main properties of the phenomenon. We study the polarisation attraction in isotropic fibers process in the third chapter. Our work proves the existence of the phenomenon, and permit…
