Full textThis thesis is dedicated to finding a new route towards the realization of optical metasurfaces using “bottom-up” approaches based on wet chemistry and self-assembly.In this project, we use an emulsion-based formulation route to synthesize clusters of gold nanoparticles. The formulation route involves emulsifying a suspension of gold nanoparticles in water into an oil phase using adapted surfactants. This step is followed by the controlled evaporation of the water from the droplets under low pressure to confine the nanoparticles in the final clusters. The surface of the gold nanoparticles were previously functionalized in order to retain their surface plasmon resonance properties in the final assembly. The structure of the clusters, precisely their internal gold volume fraction f, is controlled by varying the molar mass and surface density of the grafting polymer. The final structure of the clusters isstudied using small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM).The optical scattering properties of the synthesized clusters are studied using a variable angle polarization resolved static light scattering (SLS) setup. The data measured using this setup are analyzed and also compared to theoretical calculations and simulations. The influence of the size R and the volume fraction f of the clusters on their scattering properties is experimentally evidenced using the SLS setup. The presence of electric and magnetic multipoles and their contributions to the scattering properties are experimentally demonstrated. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulations which indicate that clusters with radius R = 120 nm and volume fraction f higher than 0.3 exhibit exceptional directional scattering properties as expected for Huygens scatterers used for the fabrication of metasurfaces

Concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) systems use concentrating optical elements to significantly reduce the material and processing costs of multi-junction high efficiency solar cells and improve the conversion efficiency. However, several issues hindered the development of CPV technologies due to the fundamental limit of thermodynamics and practical difficulties of manufacturing and deployment, such as system bulkiness, tight tracking error, thermal management and inability to collect diffuse irradiance. By dramatically scaling down the dimensions of the cells to the level of hundreds of microns and accordingly the concentrating optics, micro hybrid CPV overcomes the listed issues and also delivers a small form factor module prole similar to conventional at panel PV. In this thesis, we are focusing on the critical optical components in the micro hybrid CPV: the micro optics. First, we demonstrated a wafel-level micro hybrid CPV module based on Si fabrication.
By introducing the micro cavities in Si wafer with wet etching, this novel micro optical element illustrates its potential for cost-eective collection of both direct and diffuse sunlight, thereby extending the geographic and market domains for cost-eective PV system deployment. By improving the CPV figure of merit by 46%, our micro hybrid CPV module demonstrated state-of-the-art small-form-factor CPV module optical performance. Next, we focused on developing a micro-prism-array based low-prole spectrum splitting optics assembly. By novelly combining conjugate optics design with materials optical properties, the high-efficiency, low-cost, and low-prole optics potentially enables significant improvement on solar module performance and reduction of energy production costs. Lastly, we developed a simulation frame work to generate annualized diffuse radiance energy distribution map that covers the whole United States region.
This simulation approach accounts for different geographic locations and weather conditions and aims to provide high accuracy reference for diffuse concentrator design.

Full textMetamaterials operating at terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum have remained have remained a promising area of study not only for realizing technologies in a historically underdeveloped spectral regime, but also as a scientific tool for exploring and controlling fundamental physical phenomena at meV energy scales in a variety of condensed matter systems. In this thesis, I will present several projects in which metamaterials and more traditional condensed matter systems are integrated into hybrid metamaterial systems. We leverage these systems to realize new practical THz devices, as well as to couple to and control quantum phenomena in condensed matter systems. I will begin with an introduction to the conceptual, numerical, and experimental techniques in the THz metamaterial toolbox. The first research endeavor I will discuss is a metamaterial system that incorporates perhaps the simplest material; air. This metamaterial perfect absorber with a continuously tunable air dielectric layer allows for comprehensive exploration of metamaterial absorber systems, and demonstrates some unique phenomena owing to its lossless dielectric layer. Next I will introduce an applications oriented device; an electrically actuated broadband terahertz switch which transitions from a non-reflective, transmissive state to a fully absorptive state. It employs an all dielectric metamaterial layer to suppress reflections and trap light, and an electrically actuated phase change material, VO 2 to transition between states. The final section of this dissertation will explore strong coupling effects between a metamaterial and the superconducting c-axis Josephson plasmon in the layered cuprate, La2–x SrxCuO4. Preliminary measurements are first presented then followed by high field THz measurements in which complex nonlinear behavior is observed.

Full textEl grafeno es el primero de la creciente familia de materiales 2D. Está formado por átomos de carbono dispuestos en una red de panal que le confiere propiedades físicas intrigantes que todavía se están descubriendo hoy en día. Una ventaja fundamental que encontramos en el grafeno es la capacidad de modificar ¿in-situ¿ su respuesta óptica de reflectante (metálico) a absorbente (dieléctrico). Es en el primero cuando el grafeno se muestra más interesante, ya que admite plasmones superficiales en el infrarrojo medio, similarlmente a los metales en las regiones espectrales del infrarrojo cercano y el visible. Se sabe que los plasmones superficiales en metales están más confinados que la luz que se propaga libremente. El grafeno sobresale en este aspecto al ofrecer un factor de confinamiento alrededor de 100 de forma natural, con la contrapartida de que la luz se acople de manera muy ineficiente a los plasmones en grafeno. Varios estudios sobre plasmones metálicos han demostrado que las posibilidades de confinar la luz en pequeñas dimensiones espaciales pueden ser aplicadas, por ejemplo, en la detección de biomoléculas. A menudo, los plasmones metálicos se usan en las regiones visibles e IR con un confinamiento moderado. Sin embargo, el amortiguamiento de Landau limita dicho confinamiento del campo electromagnético debido a la penetración de éste en el material y las consiguientes pérdidas. En esta tesis, se muestra que las heteroestructuras híbridas de grafeno-dieléctrico-metal pueden superar esa limitación excitando eficientemente los plasmones en grafeno extendido con confinamiento vertical máximo, hasta el espesor de un solo átomo de material dieléctrico. Tal efecto se logra encapsulando el grafeno con una sola capa de h-BN y fabricando nano/microtiras metálicas sobre éstos. Otros espesores y materiales también fueron estudiados. La extinción en transmisión de las muestras se midió y comparó con modelos teóricos que incluyen la permitividad no local (dependiente también del momento) de los materiales. El confinamiento final y la validez del método de excitación se confirman, permitiendo así allanar el camino hacia la interacción ultra-fuerte de luz y materia. También se presenta un ejemplo de aplicación de este método al campo de la óptica no lineal con grafeno. La gran respuesta óptica no lineal intrínseca de tercer orden del grafeno ha sido de gran interés y se había estudiado tanto teórica como experimentalmente en la comunidad. A pesar de ello, no hubo experimentos que cubrieran todas las características esperadas de la teoría en el infrarrojo medio por falta de rango en el dopaje del material. Esta tesis amplía dicho rango de medición para cubrir la brecha mencionada en grafeno extendido. Además, la mejora en el confinamiento y el aumento de la densidad de campo electromagnético proporcionados por la heteroestructura híbrida se explotaron para aumentar la generación de señal no lineal del tercer armónico en hasta más de tres órdenes de magnitud. Curiosamente, se encontró que algunas estructuras presentaban una modulación adicional de la señal no lineal que se atribuye a la naturaleza oscilatoria (en el espacio) de los plasmones de grafeno y su resonancia en la estructura. Esto permite la futura exploración de un canal basado en la alta modulación de señal no lineal mediante el voltaje de puerta optimizando los dispositivos para esta finalidad. En resumen, esta tesis presenta un medio para alcanzar el régimen de interacción ultrafuerte entre luz y materia, lo caracteriza completamente hasta el límite inferior de usar un espaciador de un solo átomo de espesor. Asimismo, proporciona un ejemplo mientras demuestra su aplicabilidad en la óptica no lineal con grafeno.

Full textDurant la dernière décennie, les matériaux polymères hybrides organique-inorganiques fluorés ont attiré une attention considérable en raison de leurs potentiels comme guides d’ondes optiques. Certains exemples ont demontré leurs efficacités en tant que filtres optiques accordables, commutateurs, doubleurs, coupleurs directionnels, et modulateurs. Notre étude s’est concentrée sur la synthèse et la polymérisation d’une série de monomères d’alkoxysilane fonctionnalisés par différents groupements fluorés. Ces monomères ont été préparés en vue d’obtenir des caractères bien définis tel que l’indice de réfraction, la transparence optique, la perte optique, la flexibilité mécanique, la stabilité thermique et la simplicité de préparation. L’hydrolyse et la condensation de ces monomères ont été menées en présence de différents ratios molaires de H2O:Si afin de suivre la formation des enchaînements siloxanes à partir d’alkoxysilanes fonctionnalisés par des groupements aromatiques fluorés via le procédé sol-gel. Ces résultats ont été examinés par spectroscopie RMN. Une voie non-hydrolytique pour la synthèse de matériaux polymères Ti/Si hybrides, modifiés organiquement et à fonctionalité–OH réduite, a été également étudiée. Ces polymères ont été synthétisés grâce à l’hydolyse en présence d'acide borique et condensation en présence d’éthoxide de titane, avec des précurseurs d’alkoxysilane fonctionnalisés par des groupements aromatiques fluorés. Des films homogènes ont été préparés de ces fluides sol phase et des études photolithographiques ont été conduites pour la fabrication de guides d’ondes.

Full textLa medición no invasiva de la hemodinámica a nivel microvascular puede alcanzar un gran impacto en oncología: en las clínicas para el diagnóstico, la planeación y monitorización de las terapias, y en estudios preclínicos. La óptica difusa es una fuerte candidata para la monitorización no invasiva y repetida del tejido profundo. En este trabajo multidisciplinario y traslacional, construí e implementé dispositivos híbridos que son la combinación de dos métodos cualitativamente diferentes: espectroscopía infrarroja de óptica difusa -near infrared diffuse optical spectroscopy (NIRS)- y espectroscopía de correlación de luz difusa -diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS)-. Estos híbridos permiten la medición simultánea de la concentración de hemoglobina total en sangre, la saturación de oxígeno y el flujo sanguíneo. En un estudio preclínico, apliqué el dispositivo híbrido para monitorizar la respuesta de carcinomas de células renales, implantados en ratones, a terapias antiangiogénicas. Los resultados sugieren que podemos predecir la evolución de la terapia con base en cambios hemodinámicos tempranos, lo cual proporciona información valiosa para un mejor entendimiento del mecanismo de resistencia de los tumores a las terapias antiangiogénicas. En dos estudios in vivo realizados en pacientes voluntarios, desarrollé protocolos y sondas para demostrar la viabilidad de la espectroscopía de óptica difusa no invasiva en el estudio de la patofisiología ósea. El primer estudio se concentró en la fisiología microvascular de la rótula y en el otro se muestra que el manubrio, hueso rico en médula ósea roja, es un sitio accesible para la óptica difusa, y se presenta como una ventana para monitorizar la progresión de enfermedades hematológicas malignas. En resumen, durante mi trabajo doctoral, desarrollé instrumentación, algoritmos y protocolos que posteriormente apliqué en estudios preclínicos y clínicos. Mi trabajo de investigación constituye así un enlace entre estos estudios y abre nuevas áreas de aplicación en oncología.

Full textThe hybrid integration of individual photonic elements appears as promising, because it may provide high performances, propose new optical functionalities and products and exploit new propagation modes of light beams. This approach requires an accurate multi Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) positioning of the individual photonic elements. Hence, the inaccurate multi-DOF measurement and robots control are the main locks to overcome, notably at the micro-scale. For this sake, an original photo-robotic approach has been proposed, relying on multi-DOF robot motion associated with the use of 1-D Fabry-Perot interferometry measure to realize multi-DOF pose measure. This approach notably integrates the issue of 6-DOF robot calibration that has been studied through extrinsic and/or intrinsic geometric parameters calibration. In order to find the appropriate calibration strategy for high positioning accuracy and adapted to the context of micro-positioning of optical components, a quantification and durability analysis of optical and robotic performances have been investigated. Experimental investigations demonstrate that a rotational and translational positioning accuracy of 0.004° and 27.6 nm have been obtained respectively.This photo-robotic approach has especially been applied to achieve the 6-DOF positioning of an optical lamella relative to an optical fiber with high accuracy that also conduct to maximum optical performances. The approach has also been applied to control the optical polarization states at the output of an hybrid optical system through achieving high accurate rotations of a specific optical wave plate around the optical axis. The experimental results notably demonstrate that the high positioning accuracy enables to accurately control of the optical polarization state

Full textIn quantum information science and technology, two traditionally-separated ways of encoding information coexist -the continuous and the discrete approaches, resulting from the wave-particle duality of light. The first one is based on quadrature components, while the second one involves single photons. The recent optical hybrid approach aims at using both discrete and continuous concepts and toolboxes to overcome the intrinsic limitations of each field. In this PhD work, first, we use hybrid protocols in order to realize the quantum state engineering of various non-Gaussian states of light. Based on optical parametric oscillators and highly-efficient superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors, we demonstrate the realization of a high-brightness single-photon source and the quantum state engineering of large optical Schrödinger cat states, which can be used as a continuous-variable qubit. We show how continuous-variable operations such as squeezing can help in this generation. This method based on so-called core states also enables to generate cat states that are more robust to decoherence. Second, in the context of heterogeneous networks based on both encodings, bridging the two worlds by a quantum link requires hybrid entanglement of light. We introduce optical hybrid entanglement between qubits and qutrits of continuous and discrete types, and demonstrate as a first application the remote state preparation of continuous-variable qubits. Our experiment is also a versatile platform to study squeezing-induced micro-macro entanglement

Full textQuantum cryptography has been largely defined as a novel form of cryptography that would not rely on any computational hardness assumption. However, as the field progresses, and in particular as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) reaches high technological readiness levels, it appears that there might be a critical balance to strike. On the one hand, we have the quest for the highest theoretical security level. On the other, a second direction consists in optimizing security and performance for real-world use, while still providing an edge over classical cryptography. In this thesis, we have explored new paths towards this second direction, namely real-world quantum cryptography.In the first project, we promote a simple yet powerful message: the most dangerous attacks against QKD, for which the development of countermeasures is crucial, are the easiest ones to implement. Hence, we perform a vulnerability assessment of a Continuous-Variable QKD system device, proposing a novel methodology for security certification based on attack rating.In the second project, we introduce an explicit construction for a key distribution protocol in the Quantum Computational Timelock (QCT) security model, where one assumes that computationally secure encryption may only be broken after a time much longer than the coherence time of available quantum memories. Taking advantage of the QCT assumptions, we build a key distribution protocol on top of the Hidden Matching problem, for which there exists an exponential gap in one-way communication complexity between classical and quantum strategies.In particular, by exploiting this exponential gap, we unlock the possibility of sending multiple copies of the same state to perform everlasting secure key establishment with performances that go beyond standard QKD.Building on our theoretical work on key establishment, whose security and effectiveness hinge on the ability of two parties to address a quantum communication complexity problem more efficiently than is possible classically, in the last experimental project we investigate the feasibility of demonstrating a quantum advantage in communication complexity. In particular, we leverage the intricate mode mixing inherent in multimode fibers by employing wavefront shaping techniques to tackle quantum communication complexity problems

Además, se observó que los cambios en los parámetros hemodinámicos al día tres de iniciado el tratamiento están correlacionados con el pronóstico post-terapéutico. En el campo de la nanobiofotónica, los parámetros hemodinámicos y la concentración de nanotubos de oro funcionalizados (AuNRs-PEG) fueron cuantificados simultáneamente. Se demostró que la concentración de AuNRs-PEG estimada por medio de las tecnicas de optica difusa es proporcional a la obtenida por métodos comerciales para la cuantificación ex vivo de oro en tejidos. Además, la hemodinámica se mantuvo estable aun con AuNRs-PEG circulando en la sangre, demostrando que no hay interacción entre dichos parámetros.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Radar Cross Section (RCS) is an important parameter in radar engineering. Often, electrically large structures are of interest in RCS analysis due to the high operating frequencies of radar systems. Simulation of these problems can be more e cient than measurement due to the cost associated with measurement. The Method of Moments/Physical Optics (MoM/PO) hybrid method combines the advantages of the MoM and PO, making it suited to solving electrically large problems that may contain some small complex detail. The requirement for high meshing resolution when analysing some electromagnetic problems, however, signi cantly increases memory requirements. As a result, the hybrid MoM/PO becomes computationally expensive for electrically large problems. In this work, a linear phase term is introduced into the RWG basis function formulation of the MoM/PO hybrid. The addition of the linear phase term allows the use of large triangular mesh elements in the PO region, resulting in the analysis of electrically large problems. The bene t of this formulation is that it allows a reduction in computational cost whilst maintaining the accuracy of the hybrid MoM/PO. This improved hybrid is tested on various planar test cases and results show that it attains the same level of accuracy as the original MoM/PO hybrid.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Radardeursnit is 'n belangrike parameter in radaringenieurswese. As gevolg van die hoë frekwensies wat deur baie radarstelsels gebruik word, is elektriesgroot probleme dikwels van belang in die berekening van die radardeursnit van teikens. Die modellering en berekening van die radardeursnit van teikens kan meer kostedoeltre end as metings wees, as gevolg van die beduidende koste van radardeursnitmetings. Die hibriede Moment-Metode/Fisiese-Optika tegniek kombineer die voordele van die twee tegnieke, wat dit geskik maak vir elektries-groot probleme met klein, komplekse detail. Indien die gewone benadering egter gevolg word om 'n hoë resolusie faset-model te gebruik, bly dit berekeningsintensief met groot rekenaar geheuevereistes vir elektries-groot probleme. In hierdie studie word 'n lineêre fase term ingesluit in die formulering van die Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basisfunksies vorm van die hibriede Moment-Metode/Fisiese-Optika tegniek. Die toevoeging van die lineêre fase term maak dit moontlik om groot driehoekfasette in die Fisiese-Optika gebied te gebruik, wat beteken dat elektries-groot probleme makliker opgelos kan word. Die voordeel van hierdie nuwe formulering is dat die berekeningslas en -tyd verminder word terwyl die akkuraatheid van die oorspronklike hibriede Moment-Metode/Fisiese-Optika tegniek behou word. Hierdie verbeterde hibriede tegniek word getoets aan die hand van verskeie platvlak toetsgevalle en die resultate dui daarop dat die akkuraatheid vergelykbaar is met die van die oorspronklike hibriede Moment-Metode/Fisiese-Optika tegniek.

Full textHybrid plasmonics has given rise to increasing interest in the context of the interaction between metal nano-objects and other materials. By benefiting from each of its constituents, hybrid nanostructures are commonly adopted in studies and optimization of biological and chemical sensors, nanoparticle with high plasmon resonance tunability, and nano-emitters. This PhD thesis presents a hybrid nanostructure of photopolymer/metal nanoparticle that is used as a near-field characterizing tool and as an anisotropic nano-emitter.The fabrication of this hybrid nanostructure is a near-field imprinting process based on nanoscale photopolymerization. This technique, compared with traditional near-field characterization methods, provides not only the image of the field distribution, but also enables quantification of the surface plasmon properties with sub-5nm resolution and reproduction of the exponential decay of the near-field.Under dipolar mode plasmon, the photopolymer was created anisotropically in the vicinity of the metal nanoparticle. With high concentration of dye molecules trapped in the polymer, the hybrid nano-emitter displays surface enhanced fluorescence and Raman signal that is dependent on the incident polarization. To our knowledge, this is the first achievement of the anisotropic nano-emitter based on the inhomogeneous distribution of the active molecule

Full textThis thesis describes the synthesis of new nanoprobes with properties allowing their use for cancer-targeted multiphotonic microscopy and cancer phototherapy. On the one hand, this work was focused on the synthesis of nanoparticles with non-linear optical and phototherapeutic properties. Different nanoparticles were synthesized and used like gold nanorods, silicon carbide or potassium niobate nanoparticles, and nanohybrids coupling these previous nano-building blocks. These nanoparticles were functionalized with biomolecules like folic acid to provide specific cancer-targeting properties. The surface chemistry of these nanoparticles was carefully evaluated through advanced characterization techniques such as infrared spectroscopy, XPS and ToF-SIMS. On the other hand, optical and therapeutic properties of these nanoparticles were studied. These nanoprobes were successfully used to perform healthy cells labelling and cancer cells targeting for multiphotonic microscopy. Phototherapeutic properties of our nanoparticles were also used to induce light-triggered cancer therapy

Full textIn this thesis, one of such single photon emitters, the nitrogen vacancy centre (NV centre) in diamond, will be examined. By using different hybrid approaches, NV centres in diamond nanoparticles are integrated into photonic structures. Firstly, using a pick-and-place nanomanipulation technique with an atomic force microscope, a single NV centre is coupled to a photonic crystal cavity and an optical fibre. Coupling to the photonic crystal cavity results in an enhancement of the NV centre''s zero phonon line by a factor of 12.1 and coupling to the fibre yields a directly coupled single photon source with an effective numerical aperture of 0.82. By coupling to plasmonic waveguides, the signature of single surface plasmon polaritons is found. Secondly, instead of placing the nanodiamonds on the structures of interest, a hybrid material where the emitters are incorporated is used. With two-photon direct laser writing, on-chip integration and combination of waveguides, resonators, and single photon emitters is demonstrated. In order to learn more on the dynamics of NV centre in nanodiamonds and find ways for improvements, the dynamics of the ultra-fast spectral diffusion of the NV centre''s zero phonon line are investigated using a photon correlation interferometer. In addition to techniques for the fabrication of photonic and plasmonic structures, also methods for their characterisation are needed.For this, it can be exploited that the NV centre also is not only a single photon emitter, but can also be employed as a sensor. Here, the NV centre is used to measure the local density of optical states in a scanning probe experiment, establishing the technique of three-dimensional quantum emitter fluorescence lifetime imaging.

Full textAll-optical signal processing implemented in silicon photonics is considered as a promising route to solve several bottlenecks for the realization of future dense and mixed integrated electronic and photonic chips including ultrahigh data bit rate issues and power consumption constraints. In the context of the planar silicon photonics technology, a dramatic reduction of the needed power to reach optical nonlinear effects is obtained due to the sub-micrometer size of silicon wires (~450nmX260nm) in the telecommunication wavelength window, although silicon does not exhibit second-order response (χ^((2))) due to the centrosymmetry of its lattice. Moreover, third-order effects (χ^((3))) are partially spoiled in this material due to the strength of the two-photon-absorption (TPA) effect, which in turn generates free-carriers inducing additional absorption and refractive index changes. One way to overcome this limitation is the hybrid integration on silicon of low index soft materials with luminescence or nonlinear optical properties lacking to silicon. In this context, the present work is devoted to the study of third order nonlinearities in silicon-based integrated structures exploiting enhanced electromagnetic field effects (e.g. in Si resonators and slow light waveguides). First, we have developed a dedicated single beam non-destructive method to characterize the instantaneous third order effects though the quantification of complex effective waveguide susceptibility. The method is named “Bi-directional top-hat D-Scan” and consists on a temporal analogous of the top-hat Z-Scan. We have established an analytical and numerical model and we report the first measurement of a silicon waveguide by using a pulse shaping set-up and a bi-directional procedure. The originality of our methods stands in the capability to measure in two steps : the 3rd order nonlinear Figure-Of-Merit (FOM) independently of the injection losses, and the effective nonlinear waveguide parameters (Kerr and TPA) taking into account measured coupling losses at each facet. Furthermore, we apply the method to other integrated novel materials including Ge-rich GeSi alloys, carbon nanotube doped thin films, and chalcogenide waveguides. Additionally, two further enhancements of light-matter nonlinear interactions have been explored within this work: optical microcavities and slow light waveguides. In the first picture, index variations caused by non-linearities shift the resonance frequencies precluding the coincidence with the excitation signal frequency, thereby decreasing the injection efficiency. In order to maintain the benefit of light localization throughout the pulsed excitation, we have experimentally and numerically studied the behavior of a designed and fabricated silicon nanobeam cavity excited by a high power tailored chirped pulse whose spectral phase relation compensates for the nonlinear frequency drift of the cavity resonance. We report a numerical study of this first experimental demonstration of the coherent excitation of a nonlinear micro-cavity, leading to an enhanced intra-cavity nonlinear interaction. Finally, we have dedicated efforts to engineer, fabricate and characterize silicon slot photonic crystal waveguides (SPhCW) in order to compensate their strong dispersion present in the slow light regime while taking benefit from large group index light propagation. We showed that their frequency dispersion properties can be engineered from anomalous to normal dispersion, along with zero group velocity dispersion (ZGVD) crossing points exhibiting a Normalized Delay Bandwidth Product (NDBP) as high as 0.156. The reported results provide the first experimental evidence for an accurate control of the dispersion properties of fillable periodical slotted structures in silicon photonics, which is of direct interest for on-chip all-optical data treatment using nonlinear optical effects in hybrid-on-silicon technologies

Full textThis thesis focuses on the creation and manipulation of Non-Gaussian states with the goal of testing emerging heterogeneous quantum networks. These networks are envisioned to host multiple physical platforms, that are connected by optical communication lines. The optical states used for this communication will have to be adapted to the encoding of the physical platform they connect to, leading to a variety of possible encoding strategies. In this work, we develop criteria to test the quality of different encodings and benchmark tools that ensure faithful information transfer. Moreover, we show that multiple encodings can simultaneously be used in the same quantum network without losing their quantum properties through conversion. We use high-quality optical parametric oscillators, producing single- or two-mode squeezed states. Together with heralding via superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, we create two different optical encodings representing a two-level system and a harmonic oscillator. The two-level system corresponds to superpositions of photon-number excitations, while the harmonic oscillator state translates to optical Schrödinger cats. By creating entanglement between those two different encodings, its use in network protocols is possible. Network protocols are intrinsically limited by the success rate and fidelity of Bell-state measurements. We present an improvement in output state fidelity and projectivity of an all-optical linear Bell-state measurement by combining single photon detection with field quadrature selection. Employing hybrid entanglement together with this hybrid Bell-state measurement enables a two-level input qubit to be converted into its harmonic oscillator counterpart in a teleportation-based setup. After thorough analysis of the results of the converter experiment, we develop a criterion to judge the Non-Gaussianity of quantum coherences. This criterion is applied to two different experimental two-level systems. Finally, a stimulative study of the possible generation of error-correctable Non-Gaussian states points the way towards the future of this experiment. This work promotes the use of multiple encodings in quantum networks and advances measurements and state creation methods that expand the capability of optical systems for quantum communication

Full textIn the last few years, organic-inorganic hybrid materials were particularly attractive for integrated optical circuits. Hybrid network could be prepared by the formation of inorganic and organic network simultaneously through sol-gel technique and photopolymerization process.A composition based on [2-(3, 4 epoxycyclohexylethyltrimethoxysilane)] has already allowed the fabrication of optical integrated devices. The organic polymerization is on a cationic way. Results show the contributions of OH and aliphatic CH groups to the attenuation in the third telecommunication window located at 1,55 µm.The main objective of this work is to remove this difficulty by developing a new generation of hybrid materials with a very high reactivity and low amount of groups involved in the attenuation. We have chosen vinyl ether function as an organic part because of their well known high polymerization rates via cationic way which are faster than the epoxide function and which lead to no OH groups generation and a very low aliphatic CH groups introduction.In this work, we study the dual functional structure of a new vinyl ether alkoxysilane hybrid precursor. Firstly, hydrolysis and polycondensation of vinyl ether based solution are followed by liquid and solid Si-NMR spectroscopy. The kinetic reaction is followed as a function of time, temperature and pH of the water involved in the hydrolysis, in order to obtain the highest reactive multifunctional oligomer and the lowest OH groups. Secondly, results of the cationic photopolymerization of vinyl ether- based monomers are also reported, using middle infrared spectroscopy. In the presence of diaryliodonium photoinitator, the photopolymerization is studied by monitoring the absorption band of vinyl ether double bond before and after irradiation. The cationic photopolymerization occurs rapidly upon UV-exposure and vinyl ether monomers proved to be very effective monomers. Using near infrared spectroscopy, results show promising attenuation for the use of this material in integrated optic at 1,31 µmand 1,55 µm

Full textThe current needs of optical telecommunications and sensors require developing integrated optical circuits providing different and heterogeneous functions on the same substrate. The main issue is the incompatibility between the manufacturing processes of these optical functions. This work deals with the integration of active (emission, amplification) and passive (multiplexing, filtering, etc.) functions on a passive glass substrate. Its aim is to develop a DFB three-dimensional hybrid laser by ion-exchange in passive glass. This laser is made of a Bragg channel waveguide, selectively buried in the passive glass substrate, loaded by a plane waveguide, defined at the surface of an Er3+:Yb3+ codoped active glass wafer. It emits a (420±15) µW laser signal at 1534 nm for (390±20) mW injected pump power. Hence this device opens the way towards the integration of active functions, located at the surface of the passive glass substrate, with passive ones, spreading at its surface and in its volume
