Génération de supercontinuum infrarouge et enjeux de vieillissement au sein de fibres optiques à coeur suspendu hautement non linéaires en verre de c…
2014
The work reported in this thesis deals with the fabrication of suspended core chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) for supercontinuum generation (SCG) beyond 6 μm. In this context, As2S3-based suspended-core MOFs were fabricated under vacuum, and loss threshold of 1-2 dB/m at 2.9µm were systematically registered. In addition, MOFs were designed with core diameter ranging from 1.5 to 3.5µm, allowing therefore to control the MOF's dispersive properties and to shift corresponding zero dispersion wavelength to 2.0-2.5 µm range. SCG experiments were performed by pumping the fabricated MOFs in their anomalous dispersion regime by means of tunable femtosecond laser source. Simultaneo…
Modulational instability and domain wall solitons in optical fibers
2000
The first part of this thesis presents some theoretical and experimental results about modulational instability and domain wall solitons in bimodal fibers.In the second part is devoted to the interaction of counter-propagating waves in an isotropic optical fiber
Study of new tellurite glasses in the TeO2-ZnO-La2O3 (TZL) system for the manufacturing of mid-infrared multimaterial optical fibers and specialty op…
2023
This thesis work was carried out using tellurite glasses from the TeO2-ZnO-La2O3 (TZL) ternary diagram for optical fibers manufacturing. The choice to use this system is motivated by the ambition to improve the transmission of optical signals within oxide glasses for which absorption bands related to OH groups are present in the transparency window. A structural study is first carried out on these glasses by Raman spectroscopy in order to understand the influence of the composition on physicochemical properties (especially on optical and thermal properties) but also to estimate the ability of a vitreous matrix to reorganize when subjected to a thermal solicitation such as the preform-to-fib…
Synthesis and study of new fluorescent probes for optical imaging, Cherenkov imaging and multimodal imaging
2015
The goal of this work was to prepare and study new fluorescent probes, which could give rise to novel optical or Cherenkov imaging agents. The first section of this work describes the synthesis of fluorescent subphthalocyanines and phthalocyanines probes, which possess relevant chemicals groups suitable for optical imaging applications. The optical and physico-chemical properties of the new probes were carefully examined to ensure they comply with the specification of the fluorophores for the desired application. The second part focused on the subsequent development of a few selected probes into real imaging agents. The biovectorisation of subphtalocyanines was achieved upon conjugation of …
Te-As-Se glass microstructured optical fiber for the middle infrared
2009
International audience; We present the first fabrication, to the best of our knowledge, of chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers in Te-As-Se glass, their optical characterization, and numerical simulations in the middle infrared. In a first fiber, numerical simulations exhibit a single-mode behavior at 3.39 and 9.3 μm, in good agreement with experimental near-field captures at 9.3 μm. The second fiber is not monomode between 3.39 and 9.3 μm, but the fundamental losses are 9 dB/m at 3:39 μm and 6 dB/m at 9.3 μm. The experimental mode field diameters are compared to the theoretical ones with a good accordance.
Generation and characterization of T40/A5754 interfaces with lasers
2014
Laser-induced reactive wetting and brazing of T40 titanium with A5754 aluminum alloy with 1.5 mm thickness was carried out in lap-joint configuration, with or without the use of Al5Si filler wire. A 2.4 mm diameter laser spot was positioned on the aluminum side to provoke spreading and wetting of the lower titanium sheet, with relatively low scanning speeds (0.1 to 0.6 m/min). Process conditions did not play a very significant role on mechanical strengths, which were shown to reach 250-300 N/mm on a large range of laser power and scanning speeds. In all cases considered, the fracture during tensile testing occurred next to the TiAl3 interface, but in the aluminum fusion zone. In a second st…
Fourth-order cascaded Raman shift in AsSe chalcogenide suspended-core fiber pumped at 2 μm
2011
International audience; Cascaded Raman wavelength shifting up to the fourth order ranging from 2092 to 2450nm is demonstrated using a nanosecond pump at 1995nm in a low-loss As38Se62 suspended-core microstructured fiber. These four Stokes shifts are obtained with a low peak power of 11W, and only 3W are required to obtain three shifts. The Raman gain coefficient for the fiber is estimated to (1.6 +-0.5)x 10e−11 m/W at 1995nm. The positions and the amplitudes of the Raman peaks are well reproduced by the numerical simulations of the nonlinear propagation.
Polymer-metal plasmonic waveguide : passive and active components for integrated photonics
2009
Dielectric loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguides (DLSPPWs) enable transmission at a sub-wavelength scale of both electrical and plasmonic (optical waves at the interface between a metal and a dielectric) signals in the same circuitry. Moreover, the use of a polymer as the dielectric load enables the functionalization of DLSPPWs. Therefore, this configuration is of great interest for integrated photonic applications. However, DLSPPWs suffer strong losses due to dissipation into the metal film. We address here the possibility of compensating the losses using a configuration analogous to an optical amplifier. We first set theoretical (effective index model), numerical (differential metho…
Contrôle de nano-antennes optiques par une commande électrique : tuner plasmonique et transduction
2011
Optical nano-antennae are the new class of components to control light/matterinteraction at the nanoscale. These devices are operating in the visible to near infraredpart of the spectrum. The properties of these nano objects are controlled by theform, the size and the material.In the radio frequency domain, the tuner changes dynamically the operatingwavelength of the antenna. In this thesis work, we search to transfer this conceptto the nanoscale. The principle is to change the load impedance of the antenna, i.e.changing the optical index of the dielectric medium around the nano-object. Forthat we used anisotropic liquid cristal molecules. The value of the optical index iscontrolled by appl…
Fabrication and characterization of thermo-plasmonic routers for telecom applications
2013
The Dielectric Loaded Surface Plasmon Polariton Waveguides (DLSPPWs) have recently emerged as a possible solution to carry both optical and electrical signals on- chip. However, in the particular context of optical interconnects, advanced functionalities such as filtering, switching, and routing are required in order to replace in the future the equivalent electronic components which are too much power consumer and also to reduce their footprints. After presenting the interest and limitation of the leakage radiation microscopy method used all along this work, we show several active devices using thermo-sensitive polymers as the dielectric load driven electrically by Joule heating. Then we d…
