Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce travail de thèse porte sur l'étude des propriétés de guidage des polaritons-plasmons de surface (vitesse de groupe, couplage radiatif, absorption) dans des cristaux plasmoniques 1D et 2D constitués de films métalliques percés d'ouvertures nanométriques périodiques (fentes ou trous). Nous avons développé un banc de mesures optiques (transmission et réflexion) sur un large domaine angulaire (0-60°) et spectral (1-16 μm). Il permet d'obtenir les diagrammes de dispersion des modes de surface avec une haute résolution (±0.3°, 0.5 cm-1). Dans les cristaux plasmoniques 1D, nous montrons une modulation des pertes radiatives due au couplage des plasmons de surface se propageant le long des interfaces air/métal et substrat/métal. Il en résulte deux régimes de propagation: un régime radiatif présentant une absorption négligeable, et un régime faible perte très peu couplé à l'espace libre. De plus nous montrons qu'une faible variation de l'indice du substrat (1 %) permet de passer d'un régime de propagation à un autre et ouvre la voie à un contrôle externe des couplages radiatifs et non radiatifs des modes guidés. Nous présentons également les propriétés dispersives des plasmons de surface excités sur les interfaces de cristaux plasmoniques 2D anisotropes ayant des périodes différentes selon ses deux axes de symétrie. Nous montrons l'existence d'une bande interdite loin des bords de la zone de Brillouin, et mettant en jeu un couplage entre trois plasmons de surface se propageant dans des directions quasi-orthogonales. Un des modes couplés présente un fort couplage radiatif et une faible vitesse de groupe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organic lasers are broadly tunable coherent sources, potentially compact, convenient and manufactured at low-costs. Appeared in the mid 60’s as solid-state alternatives for liquid dye lasers, they recently gained a new dimension after the demonstration of organic semiconductor lasers in the 90's. More recently, new perspectives appeared at the nanoscale, with organic polariton and surface plasmon lasers. After a brief reminder to laser physics, a first chapter exposes what makes organic solid-state organic lasers specific. The laser architectures used in organic lasers are then reviewed, with a state-of-the-art review of the performances of devices with regard to output power, threshold, lifetime, beam quality etc. A survey of the recent trends in the field is given, highlighting the latest developments with a special focus on the challenges remaining for achieving direct electrical pumping of organic semiconductor lasers. A last chapter covers the applications of organic solid-state lasers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book provides an overview of the principle and applications of lasers enriched with numerous illustrations.Being over fifty years old, lasers continue to amaze us. Their performance characteristics are constantly reaching new limits, and the scope of their applications continues to expand. Yet, it took years of effort by teams of physicists to transform the fundamental notions of Einstein into the first experimental beam of laser light. And history is still going on as fundamental research is now triggered by its remarkable properties.This book addresses every aspects of laser light, from its fundamental principles to its industrial applications, at a level particularly suited for high school teachers, students, and anybody curious about science and technology.
