Full textThe use of coherent Raman spectroscopy in various scientific fields has led to the design of multi-wavelength optical sources. In this context, the development of fiber optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers (FOPCPAs), the fiber optical parametric chirped-pulse oscillators (FOPCPOs), has enabled the generation of ultrafast, energetic and tunable pulses. This thesis work focuses on the study of FOPCPOs along two main axes: the energy scaling of these sources, with here the production of pulses carrying more than 1 µJ at high repetition rate, and the study of the dynamics of these sources. A comparison with a FOPCPA demonstrates the benefits of FOPCPOs, which tend to generate a less noisy pulse train than an equivalent FOPCPA. This work pavs the way for the integration of these sources, enabling them to be used outside of the laboratory, and also for the development of new Raman spectroscopy methods, thnaks to the wide range of regimes that can be obtained from these architectures

Full textThis work is about dual-polarization dual-frequency fibers lasers. The control of the frequency difference of these lasers is a major challenge in microwave photonics. Controlling the beat frequency could allow compact and low-noise sources, in order to develop applications in metrology or telecom. Here, we focus on 1.5 μm sources, in either DFB or DBR configurations, made of Er-doped or co-doped Er:Yb silica fibres. Their beat frequency is about 1 GHz for DFB lasers, and 100 MHz for DBR lasers. This thesis investigates several methods to stabilize the beat note, then to modify the fiber birefringence, to increase the beat frequency. First, an optical phase-locked loop method is used to lock the beat note on a frequency reference. By using the pump diode as an actuator, we have successfully stabilized beat frequencies between 300 MHz and 10 GHz for days. We then study a stabilization method by frequency-shifted optical feedback. A theoretical model based on rate equations model is used and allows to retrieve the experimental observations. We observe different dynamical regimes by locking the beat note on a reference frequency. In the stable area, we reduce the phase noise to −100 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz from the carrier. Next, we have mixed the set-up of the injection-locking to a delay line, in order to effectively stabilize the beat note on itself. Finally, various approaches have been explored to increase the beat frequency of DBR lasers, to the needs of applications. It has been possible to continuously monitor the impact of a UV beam on the fiber birefringence. We also studied a method for reversible modification of the birefringence, exploiting the elasto-optical effect. Regardless of the method used, we observed an increase in the beat frequency from 100 MHz to more than 10 GHz in the best case

Full textHigh brightness and broad spectrum optical sources in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) are promising for different applications such as optronic countermeasures, LIDAR systems and spectroscopy. This thesis research work is dedicated to the investigation of high power supercontinuum generation in the 2-5 μm range. A thulium-doped fiber laser emitting at 2 μm has been built and characterized in continuous wave, Q-switching and Q-switched mode-locking regime. In continuous wave operation, as much as 45 W have been reached with a slope efficiency of 58%. The implementation of two fused-quartz end-caps fusion spliced at the extremities of the active-fiber improved the thermal management and the overall stability of the entire system in all mentioned regimes of operation, allowing for higher pump powers. In Q-switched mode-locking, the maximum average output power level was 40 W, for a Q-switch repetition rate of 150 kHz. At the average output power level of 20 W and 50 kHz of Q-switch repetition rate, the most energetic mode-locked pulse had an energy of 88 μJ and an estimated peak power of ~60 kW. In all the mentioned operation regimes, the measured beam parameter M2 of the fiber laser was 1.1, close to the diffraction limit. This laser has been used to pump fluoride optical fibers (ZBLAN and InF3) for supercontinuum generation in the 2-5 μm range. In ZBLAN, more than 10 W in all spectral bands have been obtained, with an output spectrum extending up to 4.4 μm. A conversion efficiency of 35%/28%/15%/8% has been measured for wavelengths longer than 2.15 μm/2.65 μm/3.1 μm/3.5 μm, respectively. For the InF3 fiber, a new design of an injection system, consisting of a large core diameter ZBLAN optical fiber and a commercial fiber-to-fiber coupler, allowed to enhance the thermo-mechanical stability of the fiber. The supercontinuum radiation generated in InF3 showed an output spectrum spanning up to around 4.7 μm with an output power level of 7 W in all spectral bands. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first Watt-level supercontinuum radiation in an InF3 fiber pumped by a singleoscillator

Full textIn a technological context of designing embedded photonic systems, structuring and functionalizing optical fibers on arbitrary scales appears as a major challenge. Among the existing technological platforms used for photonic components fabrication, femtosecond direct-laser-writing, via its capacity to locally and permanently modify transparent media at sub-micro scale, emerges as a suitable candidate for optical fiber structuring. To answer this stake, the aim of this thesis is twofold. First, a direct-laser-writing platform is developed to design meters-long distributed microstructures inside silica optical fibers. Second, another platform is settled to study laser-induced heating accumulation processes in nanoparticles-doped optical fibers in order to engineer the backscattering properties of such optical fibers.This manuscript sets forth, in the first instance, the involved physical phenomena during laser-glass interaction before describing the development for laser-writing platforms. Secondly, the design of distributed meters-long structure is approached through the study of the photoinduced refractive index modification inside various photosensitive optical fibers. The laser-written waveguides and their characteristics are featured as well as the evolution of these characteristics regarding the chemical composition of the fiber. Finally, the laser-induced heating mechanisms in the lanthanum nanoparticles-doped fiber are discussed. The behavior of these nanoparticles and the modification of their characteristics under laser irradiation pave the way to a local and reversible engineering of the backscattering properties of optical fibers

Full textWe report in this manuscript on the first experimental demonstrations of coherent combining, in the near and far fields, in discretized gain profile fiber laser. These architectures allow to push back the threshold of non linear effects, fundamental limits for power scaling of fiber lasers. Two architectures are theorically and experimentally studied : the first one is built around a two parallel, ytterbium doped cores, locally coupled by fusion-stretching. We demonstrate the coherent combining, by use of an interferometric method of 96% of the total output power on the fundamental Gaussian beam of one core. The second architecture that we propose is built around a two concentric core fiber, whose cores are coupled all along the fiber. Its large doped area (385μm2) allows an efficient pump absorption of 10W/m. Coherent combining of radiations on the central core was demonstrated with an efficiency of 90%

Full textThe recent advent of wavefront-shaping techniques has demonstrated the ability to control the propagation of light through a broad range of complex media, amongst them multimode fibers. The case of a multimode fiber which is also a gain medium presents increased complexity, since the pump beam, in itself multimode, may act upon the signal light in speckle-like spatial profiles of amplification. The resulting heterogeneous gain may be viewed as analogous to a non-unitary scattering process. Interest in the study of such systems has recently risen in several domains, such as optical communications, high-power fiber lasers, and random lasers. In this work, we consider a multimode fiber doped by a rare-earth element, and pumped by a coherent pump beam that passes through a wave-front shaping scheme, rendering the modal composition of the excitation within the fiber configurable. We explore the possibility of harnessing the degrees of freedom thus offered in the pumping, for controlling the output signal of such a gain system. A theoretical model and its implementation as a numerical solver serve to quantify the degree of achievable control, as well as providing insights into the fundamental mechanisms limiting it. In an amplifier configuration, the experimental work successfully validated the model’s predictions by showing a significant effect of the wave-front shaping of the pump upon the speckle at the amplifier’s output. In the lasing cavity configuration, the experimental work demonstrated the ability of the pump modulation scheme to influence the lasing emission, in particular to favor or suppress chosen lasing modes

Full textThe transfer of ultra-stable frequencies between distant laboratories is required by many applications in time and frequency metrology, fundamental physics, particle accelerators and astrophysics. This thesis describes the development of ultra-stable optical links over distances from 86 km to 300 km. The long-term objective is to connect the main European National Metrology Institutes with optical links extending up to 1000 km. The optical link is based on the transfer of the optical phase of an ultra-stable laser emitting light of wavelength 1542 nm through an optical fiber of the telecommunication network. For that purpose, ultra-stable cavity-stabilized lasers and fiber-stabilized lasers have been developed. The fractional instability of cavity-stabilized laser is approximately 10-15 at 1s integration time. The fiber-stabilized lasers are robust, compact, simple, tunable and their frequency noise is comparable to that of the cavity-stabilized laser for Fourier frequencies higher than a few tens of Hertz. Optical links were first demonstrated on 86 km and 172 km using dedicated fibers connecting the laboratories LNE-SYRTE and LPL. Fractional frequency instability in the range of or below 10-19 at 104 s integration time has been obtained. For larger distances, the ultra-stable laser signal is transferred on the Internet network simultaneously with the data traffic but on a dedicated frequency channel, using wavelength division multiplexing. Multiplexed links were demonstrated over distances up to 300 km, with fractional frequency instabilities at the same level or better than with dedicated fibers

Full textCurrently supercontinuum sources, which are compact, low-cost and emitting in the visible, combine microstructured fiber to a pulsed microlaser. In these systems, the spectral power density rarely exceeds ten μW/nm. A solution to this problem is to exploit the optical amplification. A new concept of nonlinear active air/silica microstructured optical fiber with an air cladding was developed optimizing the guidance of a multimode pump in the internal cladding while a core ensuring the creation of a spectral enlargement under 1064 nm nanoseconde pulsed pumping. A prototype of this optical fiber then was manufactured. Amplifiers and lasers architectures have been developed from the optical fiber. The results validate the proposed principle

Full textHigh power, narrow linewidth fiber lasers are useful for both industrial and scientific applications. Nevertheless, nonlinear effects like Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) are main limitations of these laser sources due to high power in fiber core. A first amplifier in single-frequency operation with 50W of output power from a laser diode seeder of 50 mW was developed. Study of intensity noise on this amplifier developed with standard fiber (core diameter less than 20 μm) showed that SBS leads to a degradation of noise properties of the laser. The use of large mode area (LMA) fibers is a solution for suppressing nonlinear effects with core diameters bigger than several tens of microns. LMA fibers show an overlap between doped core and pump wave optimized leading to a reduction of gain medium length. This strategy permits to increase nonlinear effect threshold. Second step of high power amplifiers with LMA fibers allows to obtain 100W in single-frequency regime without DBS. LMA fiber used have a core diameter equals to 40μm. Power scaling from 100W to 200W highlights a new limiting non-linear effect: Fiber Modal Degradation (FMD). Indeed, multimodal cores of these fibers, coupled to high thermal load lead to non-linear effects like Modal Instabilities (IM) and FMD. FMD effect, first described by Ward et al in 2016, is a thermo-optic effect characterized by a beam quality degradation with power transfer from fundamental mode to high order modes. Furthermore, a decrease of output power, synonym of guidance loss of fundamental mode in gain medium is observed. Unlike well-known effect IM, this phenomenon doesn’t act like a threshold phenomenon. In fact, transitory regime in association with FMD is longer than IM caused by photodarkening dynamic. In our study, beam quality at the output of the fiber was degraded after several tens of hours at 200W. For understanding this effect, a photodarkening effect study both in continuous wave (CW) and pulsed regime was carried out. This study shows that for the first time a photodarkening and photobleaching equilibrium on high power amplifiers in pulsed regime. These thermo-induced effects threshold depends on thermal load and are different for both regimes: 120W for CW and 150W for pulsed regime. Finally, a study and a reduction of intensity noise based from a servo-loop were carried out on 100W amplifier. A 1MHz bandwidth with a 30 dB decrease of noise were demonstrated. These results allow to develop high power and low intensity noise lasers at industrial level”

Full textThis work concern the design and the realization of large mode area fiber applied to high power laser. The goal of these fibers are the carrying and the generation of powerful beam laser. Based on special laser family called : "Pixaleted Bragg Fiber" we introduced the innovative concept of double half wave stack conditions applied to the higher order mode to increase the losses of LP11, LP21, LP02 modes. The principle of heterostructuration has been applied in order to increase losses of high order modes using the sieve effect. We succeeded in realizing a fiber with a core diameter of 48 µm, allowing mode field diameter of 40 µm at the wavelength 1050 nm. In the second time, cladding’s geometry has been simplified. This new generation of fiber gives us access to mode field diameter from 47 µm to 69 µm in the case of all solid bandgap fiber. This last result is up to now the highest mode field diameter produced for all solid bandgap fibers

Full textThis thesis reports about the investigation of high power supercontinuum (SC)generation between 2 mm and 5.5 mm. A Q-switched mode-locked (QML) thulium (Tm3+)-doped fiber laser has been developped to pump different nonlinear fibers. The fiber laserprovided in continuous wave regime an output power of 70 W. In QML operation, 26 W havebeen obtained with Q-switched repetition rates of 180 kHz or higher. The highest energy of theQS envelopes has been 166 mJ with 66 mJ contained in the most-energetic ML pulses, whichhave been surrounded by Gaussian-like pedestals with temporal widths around 2.5 ns. On topof these pedestals, very short temporal peaks with pulse durations around 15 ps appeared. Thehighest achieved peak power of a pedestal has been 25 kW. The beam parameter product M2of the fiber laser has been measured in different operational regimes and resulted always in anexcellent value around 1.2.The highest SC output power level from a ZBLAN fiber has been 7.8 W. In total, 69%/43%/30%/16.5% of the transmitted SC output radiation could be converted beyond the wavelengthof 2.15 mm/2.65 mm/3.1 mm/3.5 mm, respectively, with the broadest output spectrum from theZBLAN fiber exceeding 4.2 mm. The InF3 fiber provided a total output power of 0.8 W withan output spectrum up to 2.95 mm.Successful broadening of the wavelength-limited SC output from the ZBLAN fibers has beenachieved with all three investigated chalcogenide fibers with as much as 20 mW of outputpower by using an arsenic selenide fiber. The output spectrum exceeded 4.9 mm

Full textOptical fiber-based ultrafast laser sources are nowadays used in numerous scientific and industrial applications. To extend further the number of possible applications, it is essential to improve their performances in terms of pulsewidth, energy per pulse, and average power. Extensive research work has been performed over the last years on this area. The work described in this manuscript is a contribution to these research efforts, and aims at improving ultrafast fiber laser sources by using coherent combination of several femtosecond pulses.The first part is devoted to energy scaling by using passive coherent combining architectures, that do not require a feedback control loop of the relative optical phase between pulses to be combined. This idea is used both in the space (combining beams) and time (combining replicas of the pulse at different delays) domains. We demonstrate that these techniques allow energy scaling and study their limitations related to optical nonlinearities and gain saturation in the amplifiers. We also propose ways to circumvent these limitations.In the second part, we study various ways of decreasing the output pulsewidth of fiber-amplified femtosecond sources. First, we implement an active coherent combining system that performs combination of two amplified femtosecond pulses with different, shifted spectral content. This allows the synthesis of a pulse that is shorter than any of the individual pulses to be combined. Another studied approach consists in tailoring the spectrum of input pulses to precompensate the spectral gain shape of the amplifier. Finally, by using passive combining architectures described in the first part, we demonstrate energy scaling of temporal nonlinear compression setups

Full textIn the last decade ultra-short pulse laser (< 10 ps) have sparked increasing interest for many industrial and scientific applications. Among the geometries used so far for high-power Yb-doped diode-pumped solid-state lasers as slabs, rods and thin disks, the single crystal fiber (SCF) technology was recently shown to have a high potential for the amplification of ultrashort pulses thanks to a very efficient thermal management and high optical efficiencies. This technology combined with the cubic crystal structure of Yb:YAG offers a cylindrical symmetry of the optical and thermo-mechanical properties. Yb:YAG SCFs are therefore well suited for the amplification of cylindrically polarized beams. In the context of a European Project called RAZIPOL, we have developed new laser amplifier architectures using SCF to directly amplify femtosecond pulses to achieve high energy and high average power pulses with radial and azimuthal polarizations without any stretching and recompression of the pulses.We first demonstrate a three-stage diode-pumped Yb:YAG single-crystal-fiber amplifier to generate femtosecond pulses at high average powers with linear or cylindrical (i.e., radial or azimuthal) polarization. At a repetition rate of 20 MHz, 750 fs pulses were obtained at an average power of 85 W in cylindrical polarization and at 100 W in linear polarization. Investigations on the use of Yb:YAG single-crystal fibers with different length/doping ratios and the zero-phonon pumping at a wavelength of 969 nm were conducted in order to optimize the performances of the amplifiers.The second part of the project is focused on pulse energy scaling. In this sense, we demonstrate a two-stage Yb:YAG single-crystal-fiber amplifier designed for high peak power to significantly increase the pulse energy of a low power picosecond laser. The first amplifier stage has been designed for high gain. Using a gain medium optimized in terms of doping concentration and length an optical gain of 32dB has been demonstrated. The second amplifier stage designed for high energy using divided pulse technique allows to generate recombined output pulse energy of 2mJ at 12.5 kHz with a pulse duration of 6 ps corresponding to a peak power 320MW. Average powers ranging from 25W to 55W with repetition rates varying from 12.5 kHz to 500 kHz have been demonstrated.This results has led to the publication of 2 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and have been presented in 7 conferences. Finally this work has inspired the launch of a new line of industrial products by Fibercryst

Full textDiode-pumped solid-state laser are represented in more and more applications of laser light. The evolution of laser diode technology results in a significant increase of the output power of those systems. Nevertheless, in usual bulk laser crystals, this increase is mitigated by powerful thermal effects. New laser architectures have been designed to bypass those issues, but still nowadays there is no system combining simplicity, good beam quality, high average power and high peak power. The work presented here is divided in two parts. The first part is dedicated to study thermal effects in laser crystals. We present a thermal characterization bench to measure both the thermal conductivity and the thermo-optical coefficient of laser materials, under pumping and laser conditions. We present some practical application of this characterization bench. The second part aims to design a new laser media able to exceed the current power limitations. In collaboration with the firm Fibercryst, we evolved a new laser concept, the single-crystal-fiber laser. Those fibers combine the geometry of fiber lasers with the structural advantages of crystalline materials. We present the characterization of the single-crystal fibers grown by the micro-pulling-down technique, and their first laser results

Full textLe développement de fibres optiques micro-structurées spécifiques a connu un réel engouement au cours des 20 dernières années permettant un contrôle remarquable des propriétés optiques. En particulier, cette approche a été bénéfique à l'émission d'un faisceau monomode robuste à partir de fibres à large aire modale dont le diamètre de coeur excède 40 μm. Cette capacité a promu les lasers à fibres au rang de sérieux et compétitifs candidats pour des applications répandues telles que le micro-usinage ou la chirurgie. Dans ce but, de multiples structures de fibres ont été mise au point (Large Pitch Fibers et les "Distributed Mode Filtering fibers" par exemple), accroissant les performances des lasers et amplicateurs fibrés de fortes puissances. Cependant, de nouveaux phénomènes néfastes impactent leur fonctionnement dans ce régime. En effet, une dégradation de la qualité du faisceau est notable lorsque la puissance émise surpasse un certain seuil, en raison de la capacité inhérente des fibres de l'état de l'art à supporter plusieurs modes guidés dans leur coeur. Dans ce contexte, j'ai premièrement étudié attentivement le comportement des modes guidés dans les fibres à très large aire modale de l'état de l'art et mis en lumière plusieurs principes fondamentaux utiles à l'obtention d'une amplification sélective efficace. Ensuite, j'ai tiré bénéfice de ces constats pour proposer de nouveaux types de fibres microstructurées exhibant une amélioration de la robustesse de leur unimodalité. J'ai ainsi démontré une discrimination modale record dans une fibre appelé LPF Spirale dont le motif de la gaine interne est totalement asymétrique. Les premières fabrications de ces fibres toute solides sont également rapportées, contribuant à clairement définir les perspectives de ces travaux ainsi que les contraintes de fabrication

Full textHigh-power fiber lasers adress an increasing number of applications since ten years. In the frame of a CIFRE contract between the company Eolite Systems and Xlim (joint laboratory between CNRS and the University of Limoges), the goal of this PhD project was to develop the technological blocs to achieve all-fibre high-power lasers emiting out of the conventional spectral band covered by existing lasers.Modal instabilities in large mode area (LMA) fibers are currently the main limitation of the fiber lasers power scaling. We have experimentally demonstrated the relevance of inner cladding aperiodic structures to efficiently delocalize higher order modes outside the gain region. A systematic study of passive fibers based on such structures has shown the single propagation of the fundamental mode over a wide wavelength range from 1 to 2 µm for dimension of core up to 85 µm. This effective mode delocalization even extends up to a core dimension of 140 µm at a 2 µm wavelength.The combination of high power picosecond fiber laser with an average power of 22.7 W and a hydrogen-filled inhibited coupling Kagome fiber allowed us to generate two Raman combs over five frequency octaves from 321 nm to 12.5 µm. These two combs are controlled by the laser pump polarization and generated an average power of 10.1 W displayed over 70 laser lines for circular pump polarization and 8.6 W over 30 lines for linear polarization. Some laser lines within these combs have been generated for the first time from high-power fiber source in the mid-infrared range. We have also demonstrated the generation of high-power line by optimizing the first vibrational Stokes at 1.8 µm with an average power of 9.3 W and a quantum efficiency of the frequency conversion stage close to 80%

Full textSpatial beam shaping is an important topic for the lasers applications. For various industrial areas (marking, drilling, laser-matter interaction, high-power laser seeding…) the optical beam has to be flattened. Currently, the state of the art of the beam shaping: “free-space” solutions or highly multimode fibers, are not fully suitable. The first ones are very sensitive to any perturbations and the maintenance is challenging, the second ones cannot deliver a coherent beam. For this reason, we present in this manuscript a microstructured optical single-mode fiber delivering a spatially flattened beam. This “Top-Hat” fiber can shape any beam in a spatially coherent beam what is a progress with respect to the highly multimode fibers used in the state of the art. The optical fibers are easy to use and very robust, what is a strong benefit with respect to the “free-space” solutions. Thanks to this fiber, we could realize an all-fiber multi-stage laser chain to amplify a 10 ns pulse to 100 µJ. Moreover the temporal, spectral and spatial properties were preserved. We adapted this “Top-Hat” fiber to this multi-stage laser chain, we proved the capability and the interest of this fiber for the spatial beam shaping of the laser beams in highly performing and robust laser systems

Full textThe intrinsic properties of optical fibers like robustness, efficiency, beam quality, compactness and good thermal management can now compete with solid state lasers to develop high power laser sources. The applications of such sources include industry (machining, marking), defense (telemetry, lidar), and fundamental research. In this case, high intensity lasers are compulsory to produce the next generation of particles accelerators more efficient and more compact, both for fundamental research and its direct applications such as proton therapy. This work was done in the context of the ICAN project, which studies the feasibility of such sources.To overcome the limitations in terms of power of a single amplified fiber, an idea is to use several fiber lasers and to combine them coherently. To reach the ultra-high peak power and high average power requirements for these applications, the coherent beam combining of 10,000 fiber amplifiers has to be envisaged. The goal of the work is to develop a scheme of phase control scalable to a high number of combined fibers.Two schemes based on an interferometric phase measurement are realized in this work. The fist scheme, based on digital holography, permits a collective phase measurement and correction without calculation. The second scheme is based on an active phase control with individual phase modulators. This control requires an image processing algorithm and has a bandwidth compatible with the phase spectral noise of the amplifiers. The coherent combining of 16 fibers at 1kHz with a residual phase shift error of λ/60rms is achieved in this case. We use this second scheme to evaluate its scalability. We show that the coherent combining of 10,000 fibers using off-the-shelf components is already possible

Full textAs part of a collaborative project between the XLIM laboratory (UMR 7252 of the CNRS and the University of Limoges) and the IPHT research laboratory located in Jena, Germany, my thesis project consists in the development of a widely tunable dual-wavelength synchronous pulsed thulium doped fiber laser for the realization of an efficient and tunable terahertz source. Based on the use of two volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) and a double-clad, polarization-maintaining thulium doped fiber (core diameter = 20 μm) manufactured by the REPUSIL method, a widely tunable single-wavelength laser and dual-wavelength laser has been realized and studied in continuous regime. A tunability of 1 nm to 144 nm was obtained with a power more than 4.5 W and a good signal-to-noise contrast (~ 45 dB) and a spectral linewidth less than 0.1 nm. In pulse regime, an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) was used in free space in the laser cavity to generate the pulses. The double-clad fiber has been replaced by a large-core thulium doped fiber (40 μm) called FA-LPF to to fend off the threshold of non-linear effects and work with a short fiber to decrease the pulse duration and increase the peak power of the obtained pulses. A widely tunable (from 3.8 nm to 120 nm) Q-switched dual-wavelength synchronous-pulsed thulium-doped fiber laser was developed with a peak power more than 8 kW and a pulse duration around 26 ns obtained independently of the value of Δλ at 1 kHz of repetition rate. A contrast higher than 20 dB was obtained limited by the FWM peaks generated for Δλ values below 45 nm. The spectral linewidth of the laser measured at 3 dB of the maximum was less than 0.3 nm
