This book was released on 2013 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce manuscrit présente le transfert d’une référence de fréquence optique ultra-stable à un lien optique et son application à la stabilisation en fréquence d’un laser moyen-infrarouge. Un lien optique permet de transférer une fréquence ultra-stable par fibre optique sans dégrader sa stabilité grâce à une compensation du bruit apportée lors de la propagation. Nous avons étendu cette technique à des liens de grande longueur en transférant la référence de fréquence simultanément avec les données du réseau Internet. Ainsi des liens de 300 km puis 540 km ont été démontrés avec une stabilité de l’ordre de 10− 19 à 104 s. Ce dispositif à été utilisé au LPL pour asservir un laser CO2 émettant à 10 μm sur une référence de fréquence développée au LNE-SYRTE, à l’Observatoire de Paris. Celle-ci est constituée d’un laser ultra-stable émettant à 1,54 μm, dont la fréquence est mesurée par rapport aux étalons primaires du LNE-SYRTE grâce à un laser femtoseconde. Cette référence est transférée par un lien optique jusqu’au LPL où elle permet de stabiliser la fréquence de répétition d’un second laser femtoseconde et de mesurer ou contrôler la fréquence d’un laser CO2 . Lorsque celui-ci est asservi sur une référence moléculaire (OsO4), la stabilité est de 4.10−14 à 1 s. Les performances sont encore meilleures lorsque le laser CO2 est asservi directement sur la référence optique. Le laser stabilisé pourra ensuite être utilisé pour l’expérience d’observation de la violation de parité dans les molécules chirales développées au LPL. Ceci démontre la faisabilité d’expériences de spectroscopie moléculaire à ultra haute résolution dans les laboratoires ne disposant pas d’étalons de fréquence.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le développement de lasers impulsionnels à fibre optique émettant dans l'infrarouge moyen a soulevé beaucoup d'intérêt en recherche au cours des deux dernières décennies. Ces sources laser sont particulièrement intéressantes pour la télédétection de gaz atmosphériques, pour le diagnostic médical, pour la découpe de tissus biologiques, pour le traitement des matériaux et pour les applications en défense et sécurité. Cependant, elles ne sont pas encore suffisamment robustes et fiables pour permettre leur utilisation à grande échelle. Cette thèse se concentre donc sur le développement de lasers impulsionnels à fibre optique émettant autour de 2.8 μm avec une architecture tout-fibre adaptée pour les applications nécessitant des systèmes robustes pouvant être déployés dans des environnements non contrôlés. Ainsi, ces lasers sont également intéressants pour l'usinage laser et les applications biomédicales ainsi que pour les applications en défense et sécurité. Le chapitre 1 présente l'état de l'art des lasers à fibre optique émettant dans l'infrarouge moyen, autant en régime continu qu'en régime impulsionnel, et les défis technologiques à relever pour leur permettre de percer dans les différentes applications d'intérêt. Ensuite, le premier laser impulsionnel à commutation du gain ayant une architecture tout-fibre émettant dans l'infrarouge moyen est présenté au chapitre 2. Celui-ci génère des impulsions aussi courtes que 170 ns avec une énergie par impulsion de 80 μJ à un taux de répétition de 140 kHz. Au chapitre 3, le développement d'un nouvel absorbant saturable à partir d'une fibre en silice dopée au dysprosium a permis la commutation des pertes d'un laser tout-fibre émettant des impulsions à 2.8 μm avec une durée de 240 ns et une énergie de 4.9 μJ à un taux de répétition de 140 kHz. Pour y arriver, un réseau de Bragg à pas variable hautement réflectif inscrit dans l'absorbant saturable en silice est utilisé de façon novatrice pour l'infrarouge moyen. Nous avons aussi optimisé la technique d'épissure entre une fibre en silice et une autre en verre fluoré pour obtenir une bonne transmission monomode. Finalement, le chapitre 4 présente les effets des paramètres d'un réseau de Bragg uniforme à large bande spectrale, de la longueur de la fibre active et d'un combinateur de pompe fibré sur les performances d'un laser à fibre optique émettant des impulsions aussi courtes que 15 ps à 2.8 μm par synchronisation modale à l'aide d'un SESAM. Les résultats obtenus dans cette thèse ouvrent la porte au déploiement des lasers impulsionnels émettant dans l'infrarouge moyen pour les applications ciblées.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-dimensional femtosecond laser structuring has a growing interest because of its ease of implementation and the numerous possible applications in the domain of photonic components. Structures such as waveguides, diffraction gratings, optical memories or photonic crystals can be fabricated thanks to this technique. Its use with oxide glasses is promising because of several advantages; they are resistant to flux and ageing, their chemical composition can easily be changed to fit the well-defined requirements of an application. They can already be found in Raman amplifiers, optical fibers, fiber lasers, and other devices. This thesis is based on two axes. The first axis consists in characterizing the linear and nonlinear optical properties of bulk vitreous materials in order to optimize their composition with a particular application in view. Within this context, the nonlinear optical properties, their physical origins (electronic and nuclear) as well as their characteristic response times (from a few femtoseconds to a few hundreds of picoseconds) are described within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Fused silica and several sodium-borophosphate glasses containing different concentrations in niobium oxide have been studied. Results show that the nonlinear optical properties of fused silica are mainly from electronic origin, whereas in the sodium-borophosphate glasses, the contribution from nuclear origin becomes predominant when the concentration of niobium oxide exceeds 30%. The second axis is based on the structuring of materials. Three commercially available fused silica samples presenting different fabrication conditions (therefore distinct impurity levels) and irradiated with a near infrared femtosecond laser have been studied. The laser induced defects have been identified by means of several spectroscopic techniques. They show the formation of color centers as well as a densification inside the irradiated area. Their linear refractive index and nonlinear third-order susceptibility properties have been measured. Moreover, the structuring of fused silica at the subwavelength scale into “nanogratings” is observed and the form of birefringence induced by these structures is discussed. In addition to the fused silica samples, several oxide glasses presenting very distinct chemical compositions have been studied. A sodium-borophosphate glass containing niobium oxide exhibits micro-cracks and nano-crystallites following irradiation. A silicate glass with or without a silver component reveals fluorescent rings or “nanograting” structures. A zinc phosphate glass containing silver also presents fluorescent ring structures, with a size of the order of 80 nm, well below the diffraction limit. Pump-probe microscope techniques have been performed on this glass to investigate the laser-glass interaction. The absorption mechanism is determined to be four-photon absorption. The generated free electron density is ~ 1017 cm-3, which suggests the conclusion that an electron gas rather than a plasma is formed during the laser irradiation.

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.

Download or read book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals written by Agnes Buka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute for Amorphous Studies was founded in 1982 as the international center for the investigation of amorphous mate rials. It has since played an important role in promoting the und er standing of disordered matter in general. An Institute lecture series on "Fundamentals of Amorphous Materials and Devices" was held during 1982-83 with distinguished speakers from universities and industry. These events were free and open to the public ,and were attended by many representatives of the scientific community. The lectures themselves were highly successful inasmuch as they provided not only formal instruction but also an opportunity for vigorous and stimulating debate. That last element could not be captured within the pages of a book I but the lectures concentrated on the latest advances in the field I which is why their essential contents are he re reproduced in collective form. Together they constitute an interdisciplinary status report of the field. The speakers brought many different viewpoints and a variety of back ground experiences io bear on the problems involved I but though language and conventions vary I the essential unity of the concerns is very clear I as indeed are the ultimate benefits of the many-sided approach.
