Повний текст джерелаStimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is a coherent interaction process in which light is scattered from optically generated acoustic waves. It is a powerful tool for microwave and optical signal processing, distributed sensing and spectroscopy. Brillouin lasers are attracting a lot of interest for their ability to produce ultra coherent linewidths. This thesis is devoted to the understanding of noise properties of Brillouin fiber ring lasers, operating with multiple Stokes orders. First, we present a technique based on the cavity ring-down method, which allows to characterize the Brillouin gain coefficient directly from probing the laser cavity. Its advantages are to obtain parameters from a single experiment with low optical powers (some 10 milliwatts) for short cavities (a few meters long, or integrated cavities). Secondly, it is shown that an intrinsic linewidth of a few tens of mHz can be easily obtained by cascading two non-resonant Brillouin lasers (for which the pump performs a single pass inside the cavity). In order to obtain these results, the long-term stability has been improved by using a Pound-Drever-Hall servo loop, which allows us to compare our analytical and experimental results. Unfortunately, we were unable to explore the fundamental limits of noise reduction due to the noise floor of our bench. Thirdly, one of the major works of this thesis is the theoretical and experimental study of the noise properties, including frequency noise and relative intensity noise, of a resonant Brillouin laser (for which pump and Stokes waves are resonant inside the cavity). In particular, the impacts of the fiber-ring-cavity quality factor, Brillouin gain detuning, are evaluated very precisely on the laser RIN features such as amplitude noise reduction and relaxation frequency. We emphasize the fact that many characteristics of the frequency noise are related to the RIN properties by a coupling between intensity and phase. We show that the cascade process modifies the dynamics of the Brillouin laser when compared to those of a single-mode Brillouin laser with a single first-order Stokes component. Our experimental results are in excellent agreement with our numerical simulations, obtained thanks to our non-linear system describing the operation of a multi-Stokes Brillouin laser. This good match is mainly due to our ability: to obtain very precise values of the cavity parameters and the Brillouin gain coefficient using the CRDM technique ; to achieve long-term stability (hours); to finely control the detuning between the laser Stokes resonance and the frequency of the Brillouin gain maximum. We demonstrate experimentally for the first time that frequency noise is degraded in the presence of anti-Stokes Brillouin scattering. We also show that a gain detuning of the order of a few hundred kHz can degrade the intensity noise reduction or also increase the linewidth by amplitude-phase coupling. All these very fine observations thus allow us to set the fundamental limits of such laser systems such as: the increase in noise due to anti-Stokes orders; the role of pump noise and its possible interrelation with cavity finesse; the effect of the detuning inherent to higher Stokes orders. All these conclusions are key to the design and engineering of these Brillouin fiber lasers, which are currently attracting a great deal of interest as evidenced by the work in progress in the scientific community. This PhD thesis contributes to a better understanding of multi-Stokes Brillouin lasers

Повний текст джерелаHigh 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”

Повний текст джерелаDual-frequency solid-state lasers are attractive for numerous domains (metrology, microwave photonics, Lidar-Radar, optical clocks). However, such lasers suffer from excess intensity noise which is difficult to cancel with usual methods. In this context, we develop a new approach called “buffer reservoir” for reducing the excess intensity noise. This method relies on the change of the laser’s dynamical behavior by inserting a low efficient nonlinear absorption mechanism in the cavity. First, this approach is studied on single frequency solid-state lasers by using two types of non-linear absorption: two-photon absorption (TPA) and second harmonic generation absorption (SHGA). We show a possible reduction of the intensity noise at the relaxation oscillations frequency of an Er,Yb:glass laser up to 50 dB without degrading neither its power nor its phase noise. We explore the underlying physics by developing an analytical model describing the laser dynamical behavior. The effect of the nonlinear absorber on the noise peaks lying at high frequency at the free spectral range of the cavity is also studied. We demonstrate the relevance of such self-regulated lasers for the distribution of optically carried local oscillators. We then extend the “buffer reservoir” approach to dual-frequency lasers. By developing a predictive analytical model, we show experimentally that the use of TPA enables 40 dB reduction of both in-phase and anti-phase noise under certain conditions. The mode coupling in the active medium is analyzed when the nonlinear losses are present. Finally, we address the use of SHGA as a ''buffer reservoir'' in dual-frequency lasers. In particular, we experimentally and theoretically explore the laser behavior when the nonlinear losses are inserted on one eigen-mode of the laser only. This configuration enables a strong reduction of resonant noise peaks for both modes

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis presents the studies of whispering gallery mode laser dynamics in order to realize a micro-wave source using simultaneous oscillations in a unique whispering gallery mode micro-laser. We show experimental results on the relative intensity noise (RIN) of a Whispering Gallery Mode Laser in ZBLALiP glass doped with Er3+ ions. Besides the pure laser specifications, the RIN spectrum gives informations about the dynamics inside the cavity, such as photon lifetime, effective pumping rate and noise sources. Moreover, we have shown that a single-mode emission comes with the presence of multiple harmonics of the relaxation frequency. The theoretical model taking account the non-linear coupling between photons and atoms allows us to determine the mode volume of the whispering gallery mode in laser regime, which is quite difficult to evaluate in this regime. On the other hand, we have studied the laser dynamics in an industrial IOG-1 glass codoped with Yb3+/Er3+ ions where the signature of a modal coupling, induced by Rayleigh scattering, lies in the RIN spectrum. In this particular case, the two coupled modes operate above threshold. The observed behavior is compared with thoses of a solid state gyro-laser

Повний текст джерелаDeveloping a new laser source is a meticulous and time-consuming work. A large variety of parameters must be studied to obtain the wanted performances. In this work, we focused on the Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) of different lasers. Especially, we studied the second harmonic generation process and its influence on the laser RIN. For the needs of this work, we developed a numerical simulation model of a multimode fibre laser. It takes into account some needed features: the resolution of the laser field with amplitude and phase, the multimode behaviour, the spatial hole burning effect and the introduction of noise sources by adding Langevin forces. Studying the RIN after frequency doubling is done by squaring the field obtained by our numerical simulation. We found three different processes leading to an increase of the RIN at low frequencies after frequency doubling: a coupling between the less-noisy modes and the most-intense ones, the mode competition at low frequencies and, a transfer of the phase noise to the intensity noise. We have extended our study to semiconductor lasers. We used a pre-existing numerical simulation model and studied the RIN after frequency doubling for three different operating regimes. This study did confirm the reliability of the analysis developed in the fibre laser case and showed some differences between both lasers

Повний текст джерелаBrillouin scattering is the inelastic scattering of light by the acoustic waves of a medium. In an optical fiber, stimulated Brillouin scattering occurs, from a certain incident light intensity (pump), for generating a backscattered "Stokes" wave, whose frequency is shifted from that of the pump by a value directly proportional to the acoustic wave propagation velocity in the fiber. The Brillouin shift has a high sensitivity to all effects that can change the speed of the acoustic wave. This property makes it possible to study the composition of the fibers and gives to the SBS the potential for the production of optical fiber sensors. The SBS process is also accompanied by a gain for the backscattered Stokes wave since almost all the power of the Pump wave is transferred there. It can, therefore, be used for the production of optical fiber amplifiers and lasers. As part of this thesis work, we experimentally studied static and dynamic properties of the Brillouin fiber lasers (BFLs). Depending on the damping rate of the acoustic wave and the loss rate of the cavity, the BFL can be very coherent and less noisy, thus promoting its use in multiple fields such as defense, metrology, and telecommunications. When the Pump makes only one turn in the Brillouin cavity, the studied BFL has a frequency noise 10,000 times lower than that of the Pump laser while keeping a similar intensity noise. When the Pump is resonant, it is possible to obtain a BFL with multiple Stokes waves by cascading the Brillouin non-linear effect in the optical fiber. Restricted by our measurement benches, we measured a frequency noise 1000 times lower than that of the Pump and an intensity noise more than 100 times lower

Повний текст джерелаIn this thesis, we are interested in studying the properties of the fluctuations of the light scattered by a cloud of cold atoms, namely temporal fluctuations of the intensity or spectral fluctuations of the electric field in the single or multiple scattering of light. Although our analysis is focused on a passive medium, gain can be added in the system leading to a random laser whose the study of the temporal correlations of the emitted intensity allows to better characterize its coherence properties.The first step towards this characterization is the study of the frequency noise power spectral density of conventional lasers. This measurement is made using a frequency discriminator, being a Fabry-Pérot cavity or an atomic transition, used to convert frequency noise into measurable intensity noise. A simple model is developed showing that, while results obtained with the Fabry-Perot cavity and the atomic transition are the same at low Fourier-frequency, new features appear at high Fourier-frequency showing the influence of the atoms in the noise conversion, allowing to perform spectroscopic measurements by analyzing the intensity fluctuations of the transmitted light.Coherence properties can also be studied with the correlation function g(2) of the intensity, giving access to the photon statistics of the emitted light. We measure this function in a passive medium ballistically expanding while controlling the regime of scattering of light. We analyze in detail the evolution of contrast, the loss of coherence and the change of shape in the multiple scattering regime. Those results are combined with numerical and analytical studies showing the role of multiple scattering in the changes of the g(2)-function. This measurement is the first experimental demonstration of diffusing wave spectroscopy on cold atoms in ballistic motion.The characterization of the temporal coherence of a random laser requires the study of the g(2)-function in an active medium below threshold. We implement a scheme based on hyperfine Raman gain, combining effectively gain and scattering. We present our first results to quantify the amount of gain in the cloud with pump-probe spectroscopy, showing the appearance of an electromagnetically induced transparency window. Finally, based on a heterodyne method, we are able to access the optical spectrum of the scattered light in presence of gain

Повний текст джерелаStudying relative intensity noise (RIN) of gallium nitride edge emitting laser diodes, the strong correlation between noise dynamics and spectral behavior impacted by mode clustering is highlighted. An analytical model is used to explain experimental results. Then we study single-longitudinal-mode laser diode (LD) emitting around 420 nm. Spectral filtering is achieved using high order aperiodic Bragg grating. A novel approach, involving standard lithography technique with a resolution close to the micron, is proposed unlike most of works of the domain using high resolution e-beam lithography. Release of the resolution constraint paves the way for mass production of low-cost single-mode diode laser devices. Aperiodic grating, mostly used in the telecom range, is designed to 420 nm diode laser using numerical modelling. First single-mode structures are fabricated at EPFL. Measurements of optically pumped devices prove the feasibility of the technique. In the third work we study spectral narrowing of InGaN LD by means of external cavity. Feedback is provided by a specially designed 400 nm Bragg grating optically written on a single-mode fiber. Using that setup, we obtain single-frequency emission with more than 40 dB side-mode suppression ratio, about 50 mW optical power and less than 2.4 MHz linewidth

Повний текст джерелаThe objective of the present thesis is to investigate new laser architectures with low Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) using the Silicon Photonics integration platform. We intend to reach “class-A” dynamics, in which relaxation oscillations are eliminated. In this conditions, lasers with class-A dynamics exhibit shot-noise limited RIN over a wide frequency bandwidth, typically from 100 MHz to 20 GHz. Such behaviour can be obtained with high-Q laser cavities, i.e with long cavities or with ultra-low losses cavities. The silicon photonics platform is a good candidate for the desired dynamical behaviour as it makes possible the implementation of long cavities (ten’s of cm) based on low losses silicon waveguides (dB/cm). Three different approaches have been considered in the present work. In the first approach, we have developed centimetre long lasers, consisting of an active section providing the optical gain coupled to a passive section made with low losses silicon waveguides. We proposed different approaches to optimize the intra-cavity optical losses, and different architectures of high finesse optical filters allowing simultaneously single-mode operation and high side mode suppression. The second approach consists on filtering the laser RIN by taking advantage of the coherent population oscillations effects in a SC Optical Amplifier (SOA). We proposed a model for describing the different mechanisms altering the RIN of the amplified laser. We demonstrated 15 dB RIN reduction for frequencies up to a few GHz, using a hybrid III-V on Si laser and a “classical” SOA. The last approach explored in the present thesis is based on the use of hybrid III-V on silicon DFB lasers with a high quality factor. Using Silicon Bragg grating with a variable pitch can reduce the radiative losses, usually important in DFB lasers. In this case, we can obtain optical cavities with few millions quality factor, leading to few ns photon lifetime. We realize a first design of Si Bragg grating with a Q factor of 65 000

Повний текст джерелаSilicon photonics have been introduced to overcome low efficiency and high energy consumption of telecom links using twisted pairs or coaxial cables. This technology provides novel functionality and high performance for applications in high speed communication systems, short reach optical interconnects, and the deployment of optical links from chipto-chip, board-to-board or rack-to-rack (datacom). Silicon is known as a very efficient semiconductor material for waveguiding light in particular owing to the strong index contrast with silica. However, the indirect bandgap of silicon makes light emission from silicon inefficient, and other techniques such as wafer- or flipchip bonding must be investigated if light emission is to be realized. The drawbacks of such heterogeneous integration concentrate on the high cost and the limited scalability. Lasers heterogeneously integrated on silicon are also more sensitive to optical reflections originating from the transition between passive/active interfaces. The best way to overcome these drawbacks is to move on to direct epitaxial growth of IIIV materials on silicon for photonics integration. In this context, quantum dot lasers using semiconductor atoms as a gain medium are ideal because they enable smaller devices, amplification with large thermal stability and high tolerance to epitaxial defects. Ultra-low noise optical transmitters are required not only for the coherent systems but also for future chipscale atomic clocks and radar related applications because of the sensitivity to the frequency noise and intensity noise can strongly affect the bit error rates. To this end, the first part of the thesis reports an intrinsic spectral linewidth as low as 80 kHz and a relative intensity noise less than - 150 dB/Hz in InAs/InP quantum dot lasers. In particular, it is shown that a small vertical coupling is more suitable for low intensity noise operation due to the suppression of the carrier noise in the excited state. The second part of the thesis investigates the dynamic and nonlinear properties of epitaxial quantum dot lasers on silicon. As mentioned above, lasers heterogeneously integrated on silicon are more sensitive to parasitic reflections. When combined with external optical feedback, the laser stability can be dramatically affected. As no on-chip optical isolators integrated with lasers and having sufficient isolation ratio exist, the development of feedback insensitive transmitters remains a major objective. This thesis presents an error-free transmission of an epitaxial quantum dot laser on silicon externally modulated at 10 Gb/s and subjected to 100% optical feedback. Such remarkable feedback insensitivity directly results from the near-zero linewidth enhancement factor, the large damping factor, the strong contrast between the ground state and excited states and a shorter carrier lifetime. These results pave the way for future high-performance photonics integrated circuits on silicon operating without optical isolators

Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) of multiple quantum well (MQW) DFB laser and chirped multilayer quantum dot (CMQD) lasers have been measured and analyzed. The carrier dynamics in multilayer quantum structure are therefore determined. The temperature-dependent RIN measurement of MQW DFB laser was undertaken to evaluate the K-factor and differential gain. Carrier transport is limited by multiple layer structure in the DFB laser as the values of K-factor remain almost constant in the temperature range of 10 - 40 ℃. Therefore, the intrinsic fmax is evaluated to be 27 GHz. However, differential gain reflects the nature of gain spectrum broadening which decreases by a factor of approximately 1.5 (from 1.66×10-15 cm2 down to 1.1×10-15 cm2) over the measured temperature range. In general, cavity length for RIN measurement is suggested to be within 2 mm. The characteristics of chirped multilayer quantum dot (CMQD) lasers has been presented with different cavity lengths of 750 μm, 1000 μm, and 1500 μm at ambient temperature of 20 ℃. For cavity length of 750 μm, the highly damped RIN spectra have calibrated level of -160dB/Hz. In addition, excited state lasing is essential in our device in order to overcome the total loss and therefore reaches the lasing condition. The differential gain is estimated to be in the range of 3.0-8.2´10-16 cm2, which is subject to junction heating in as-cleaved devices. However, the K-factor limited bandwidth , which is temperature insensitive, is as large as 14 GHz, shows excellent agreement with Stevens et al., who firstly demonstrated direct modulation of excited state QD lasers in August 2009. To the best of our knowledge, we have successfully demonstrated RIN spectrum of excited state quantum dot lasers for the first time. Another unexpected observation is the double-resonance RIN spectra in even shorter cavity length. However, the mechanism is still a controversial issue. Therefore, this thesis has thrown up some questions for further investigation.
