Повний текст джерелаIn this thesis we first show our experimental results on polarization instabilities in quantum dot (QD) lasers with vertical cavity, so called VCSELs. Their characteristics are different from what is typically observed in their QW counterparts: light that is linearly polarized close to lasing threshold becomes elliptically polarized as current is increased and then a wide region of polarization mode hopping between nonorthogonal, elliptically polarized modes sets on. Within this region the average dwell time decreases by eight orders of magnitude from seconds to nanoseconds. To our best knowledge this is the first observation of such a diversified dynamics of polarization mode hopping in a single VCSEL. We have also carried out theoretical studies of optically injected QD lasers accounting for the intradot carrier dynamics through the higher-energy excited states. We show that experimentally observed excitable pulses are complemented by self-pulsations resulting from the so-called bottleneck phenomenon. Finally, we have theoretically investigated optically injected QD laser lasing simultaneously from the ground and excited states. We show that although the external light is injected to the ground state mode alone, modulation of the relaxation time induced by injected signal can provide a gain switching mechanism leading to generation of picosecond pulses from the excited state

Повний текст джерелаMotivé par de récentes expériences menées sur des lasers miniatures avec absorbant saturable, nous en avons repris la description théorique. Les nouvelles valeurs de paramètres suggérées par l'expérience nous ont amenés à découvrir de nouveaux comportements dynamiques pour ces systèmes. En particulier, nous avons décrit comment l'intensité délivrée par ces lasers devenait temporellement sinusoïdale, puis impulsionnelle sur un très petit intervalle de paramètres.
Par la connaissance acquise du laser à absorbant saturable, nous avons pu comprendre comment s'établissait un régime impulsionnel semblable dans un autre laser. Il s'agissait du laser multimode à pompage longitudinalement inhomogène. Il est apparu en effet qu'une partie du milieu emprisonné dans la cavité optique agissait à la manière d'un absorbant saturable, déstabilisant ainsi l'émission continue de ce laser. Nous avons également montré que, dans certaines circonstances, son état dynamique présentait des effets de mémoire. Une autre propriété importante de la dynamique du laser multimode a été mise en évidence: pour de petites perturbations, l'intensité totale présente un comportement plus régulier que les intensités modales prises séparément.
Ce type intrigant d'auto organisation fut rencontré plus tard, lorsque nous avons envisagé la dynamique d'un réseau de lasers à semi conducteur couplés par un feedback optique. Le retard accumulé par la lumière au cours de ce feedback est un paramètre essentiel du problème. Ce système important sur le plan technologique s'est révélé extrêmement riche sur le plan dynamique. Nous avons pu montrer que plus le retard était grand, plus les lasers avaient tendance à se synchroniser. Cela fut observé aussi bien en régime continu qu'en régime périodique ou chaotique. Par une telle synchronisation, la qualité du rayon optique émis par le réseau de lasers augmente spectaculairement, élargissant par là ses possibilités d'application.
Au début des années 1990, les physiciens commencèrent à étudier systématiquement les effets d'interférence quantique dans l'interaction lumière matière. Ceci faisait suite à l'annonce fracassante que de tels effets devaient permettre de construire des lasers sans inversion de population. Récemment, une série d'expériences a montré que de telles interférences quantiques étaient à l’œuvre dans le laser miniature LNP. Une partie de cette thèse y fut consacrée. Nous avons montré que le comportement dynamique observé résultait d'un renforcement quantique de l'absorption stimulée par les niveaux énergétiques inférieurs.
Nous avons poursuivi notre étude des effets d'interférence quantique sur un schéma électronucléaire. Nous avons montré que pour ce système, un rayon gamma peut être amplifié sans inversion de population. Ce résultat est très important, compte tenu du fait qu'une telle inversion est techniquement impossible à réaliser pour ces très hautes fréquences électromagnétiques, empêchant jusqu'ici la réalisation de lasers gamma. Afin d'atteindre l'amplification sans inversion, un rayonnement d'appoint dans le domaine optique s'avère nécessaire. Tenant compte de la décroissance de ce champ optique en cours de propagation, et donc de la diminution des effets quantiques associés, nous avons déterminé une distance optimale de propagation. Au-delà de cette distance, l'amplification se mue en absorption. Une telle information est dès lors cruciale sur le plan expérimental.

Повний текст джерелаIn this thesis, I study the nonlinear dynamics induced by the competition between two modes in quantum dot laser systems.First, I focus on the competition between polarization modes that takes place in quantum dot vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). It is well-known that these devices can exhibit polarization instabilities leading to rich dynamical evolution. Recently, a new peculiar random-like hopping between two non-orthogonal elliptically polarized states has been highlighted in QD VCSELs. This behavior shows intriguing features which clearly call for a different interpretation. In this thesis, I show that the dynamical behavior reported experimentally can accurately be reproduced within the spin-flip model (SFM) framework. In particular, I demonstrate and confirm experimentally that the peculiar random-like hoppings are in fact deterministic low-dimensional chaotic fluctuations, i.e. ``Polarization Chaos''. I then make a proof-of-concept demonstration of a high-speed random bit generator based on polarization chaos, hence demonstrating that the chaotic dynamics uncovered is relevant for optical chaos-based applications.Secondly, I investigate the effects of an external optical feedback on quantum dot lasers emitting simultaneously from the ground and the excited states. I bring new light on the impact of optical feedback and the corresponding mechanisms and bifurcations. I highlight theoretically that optical feedback globally favors the ground state emission, but also that it can be used to switch from one mode to the other when changing the feedback rate and/or the time-delay. In addition, I experimentally report switching between the ground and excited states when varying the external cavity length at the micrometer scale, which supports the theoretical predictions

Повний текст джерелаHigh performance semiconductor lasers are strongly demanded in the rapidly increasing optical communication networks. Low dimensional nanostructure lasers are expected to be substitutes of their quantum well (Qwell) counterparts in the next-generation of energy-saving and high-bandwidth telecommunication optical links. Many efforts have been devoted during the past years to achieve nanostructure lasers with broad modulation bandwidth, low frequency chirp, and reduced linewidth enhancement factor. Particularly, 1.55-μm InP-based quantum dash (Qdash)/dot (Qdot) lasers are preferable for long-haul transmissions in contrast to the 1.3-μm laser sources. In this dissertation, we investigate the dynamic characteristics of InPbased nanostructure semiconductor lasers operating under direct current modulation, including the amplitude (AM) and frequency (FM) modulation responses, the linewidth enhancement factor (also known as α-factor), as well as large-signal modulation responses. Using a semi-analytical analysis of the rate equation model, it is found that the modulation bandwidth of the quantum dot laser is strongly limited by the finite carrier capture and relaxation rates. In order to study the α- factor and chirp properties of the quantum dot laser, we develop an improved rate equation model, which takes into account the contribution of carrier populations in off-resonant states to the refractive index change. It is demonstrated that the α-factor of quantum dot lasers is strongly dependent on the pump current as well as the modulation frequency, in comparison to the case of Qwell lasers. The α-factor remains constant at low modulation frequencies (<0.1 GHz) and higher than the value derived at high modulation frequencies (beyond several GHz) from the FM/AM technique. These unique features are mostly attributed to the carrier populations in off-resonant states. Further simulations show that the α-factor can be reduced by enlarging the energy separation between the resonant ground state (GS) and off-resonant states. Lasing from the excited state (ES) can be a promising alternative to enhance the laser’s dynamic performance. The laser exhibits a broader modulation response and the α-factor can be reduced by as much as 40%. The optical injection technique is attractive to improve the laser’s dynamical performance, including bandwidth enhancement and chirp reduction. These are demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. The phase-amplitude coupling property is altered as well in comparison with the free-running laser and the optical gain depends on the injection strength and the frequency detuning. This work proposes a new method derived from the Hakki-Paoli method, enabling to measure the α-factor of semiconductor lasers under optical injection both below and above threshold. In addition, it is demonstrated theoretically that the α-factor in nanostructure lasers exhibits a threshold discontinuity, which is mainly attributed to the unclamped carrier populations in the off-resonant states. It is a fundamental limitation, preventing the reduction of the α-factor towards zero. Quantum cascade (QC) lasers rely on intersubband electronic transitions in multi-quantum well heterostructures. QC lasers show flat broadband AM response (tens of GHz) without resonance, which constitutes promising features for free-space communications. Surprisingly, calculations show that the QC laser exhibits an ultrabroad FM bandwidth on the order of tens of THz, about three orders of magnitude larger than the AM bandwidth. Optically injection-locked QC lasers also exhibit specific characteristics by comparison to interband semiconductor lasers. Both positive and negative frequency detunings enhance the modulation bandwidth

Повний текст джерелаLaser diodes have become a key component in our everyday life. Discovered 50 years ago (1962), laser diode is used for reading information engraved in compact disk (CD), for transmitting informations in modern telecommunication systems based on optical fibers, for reading bar codes at the supermarket, for positioning and ranging and for lightning. All those applications need a stable and predictible behavior of the laser. Nonetheless, it has been shown that lasers can emit an chaotic fluctuation of light intensity under certain conditions i.e. an unpredictable dynamic. The chaos, or the high sensitivity of a system leading to its unpredictibility, is nowaday observed in a large variety of physical and biologial systems. Chaos explains for example the mathématical impossibility to predict the weather beyond few days. This thesis is therefore at the interface between two main scientific themes : the dynamical behavior and the specifications of laser diodes, and the study of optical chaos.We propose in a first part to study the generation of optical chaos from a laser diode using an optical feedback which leads to complex dynamics between two polarisation states of the laser. An in-depth analysis of this dynamic shows the existence of unexpeted correlation properties between the polarisations which manifest themselves on several time-scales. We demonstrate, on the one hand, the interplay between the different time-scales and on the other hand, we bring a physical interpretation to this phenomenon.In a second part, we focus on a peculiar dynamic leading to regular switching between two polarization states in a laser diode subjected to optical feedback. Those swtichings lead to square-wave modulations. The modulation frequency can be driven by a simple modification of the feedback parameters. In addition, we observe the emergence of oscillatory and undamped dynamics which accompagny the upper state of the square-wave. An experimental and numerical analysis show that the frequency of those oscillations exceed the usual frequency signatures for this kind of laser system. The analytical study predicts frequencies going beyond 20 GHz for a peculier type of lasers called VCSELs

Повний текст джерелаEl objetivo de esta tesis es estudiar la confidencialidad de los sistemas de comunicaciones caóticas basados en sistemas con retraso. Para ello, la tesis se centra en la reconstrucción de la dinámica no lineal de sistemas con retraso usando un embedding especial. Este embedding especial incluye no solo los tiempos cercanos sino también los tiempos centrados alrededor del retraso del sistema. Dado que conocer el tiempo de retraso es esencial para la construcción del este embedding, en la tesis también se analiza la identificación del tiempo de retraso a partir de la serie temporal. Usando un nuevo tipo de red neuronal modular y este embedding hemos construido modelos que reconstruyen la dinámica no lineal de los sistemas escalares con retraso a partir de la serie temporal. A continuación estos modelos se usan para mostrar la vulnerabilidad de los sistemas de comunicación basados en sistemas con retraso y para estudiar la predictibilidad de estos sistemas. Aunque básicamente nos hemos centrado en el estudio de sistemas opto-electrónicos con retraso, las técnicas presentadas en esta tesis se pueden aplicar a cualquier sistema escalar con retraso.

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

Повний текст джерелаMid-infrared quantum cascade lasers are unipolar semiconductor lasers, which have become widely used sources for applications such as gas spectroscopy, free-space communications or optical countermeasures. Applying external per-turbations such as optical feedback or optical injection leads to a strong modification of the quantum cascade laser prop-erties. Optical feedback impacts the static properties of mid-infrared Fabry-Perot and distributed feedback quantum cas-cade lasers, inducing power increase, threshold reduction, modification of the optical spectrum, which can become either single- or multimode, and enhanced beam quality of broad-area transverse multimode lasers. It also leads to a different dynamical behavior, and a quantum cascade laser subject to optical feedback can oscillate periodically or even become chaotic: this work provides the very first analysis of optical instabilities in the mid-infrared range. A numerical study of optical injection furthermore proves that quantum cascade lasers can injection-lock over a few gigahertz, where they should experience enhanced stability and especially improved modulation bandwidth. Furthermore, some promising dynamics appear outside the locking range with periodic oscillations at a tunable frequency or high-intensity events. A quantum cascade laser under external control could therefore be a source with enhanced properties for the usual mid-infrared applications, but could also address new applications such as tunable photonic oscillators, extreme events gen-erators, chaotic LIDAR, chaos-based secured communications or unpredictable countermeasures

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis is dedicated to the study of the Kerr optical frequency combs in whispering gallery moderesonators, where the light can be excited by the extern pump. Due to the Kerr effect existing in theseresonators, the quasi-equidistant lines in the spectral domain are generated around the excited mode,that is the frequency comb. This thesis is devided in three chapters. The first one is dedicated to theintroduction of the Kerr comb generation and their applications.The second one presents the analysisof the Lugiato-Lefever equation used for the analytical study of the system, leading to the constructionof two bifurcation diagrams for the normal and anomalous dispersions. They are plotted for twoparameters, which can be controlled during experiments once the resonator has been fabricated,which are the pump power of the laser and its frequency detuning. These diagrams show the areas ofthe parameters for which one, two, or three solutions exist and their stability. The additional numericalsimulations show the exact type of the solution in each area (such as the bright and dark solitons,the breathers, the primary and secondary Kerr combs and chaotical regimes), finally these diagramsshow the parameters of the laser needed to be choosen for the generation of the desired solution.The third chapter is dedicated to the secondary Kerr combs, which are the additional lines generatedbetween the lines of the primary comb. They appear in the anomalous dispersion regime, when thequantity of the pump photons crosses the second-order threshold, which has been found numerically

Повний текст джерелаCoherent sources emitting two optical frequencies with a widely tunable frequency difference lying in the radio-frequency range and having a high degree of correlation between their fluctuations can be useful for numerous applications such as microwave photonics, ultra-stable atomic clocks, atom manipulation and probing, metrology, etc. Dual-frequency lasers, which emit two orthogonal linearly polarized modes with a frequency difference lying in the radio-frequency range, have huge potentials for the above mentioned applications. We compare the characteristics of such dual-frequency oscillation in lasers based on either semiconductor (VECSEL: vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser) or solid-state active media (mainly Nd3+, or Er3+ doped crystalline host). Apart from the obvious difference between the gain mechanisms in semiconductor and solid-state laser media, the dual-frequency VECSEL and the dual-frequency Nd:YAG laser exhibit different dynamical behaviors. The dual-frequency VECSELs exhibit relaxation oscillation free class-A dynamics as the photon lifetime inside the cavity is longer than the population inversion lifetime. On the contrary, the dual-frequency Nd:YAG lasers obey class-B dynamics linked with the fact that the photon lifetime inside the cavity is shorter than the population inversion lifetime, leading to the existence of relaxation oscillations. In this thesis, we figure out how the laser dynamics, in addition to the nonlinear coupling between the two laser modes, governs different noise phenomena in dual-frequency lasers. In particular, we demonstrate, both experimentally and theoretically, the influence of the laser dynamics and the nonlinear coupling between the two modes on the laser noise, by analyzing the spectral properties of the different noises (intensity, phase) and their correlation in a class-A dual-frequency VECSEL (vertical-external-cavity surface emitting laser) and a class-B dual-frequency Nd:YAG laser. Moreover, the noise correlation results are interpreted in terms of the linear response of two coupled damped oscillators

Повний текст джерелаIn this thesis, we investigate experimentally the generation of high energy nanosecond tunable square pulses and high output power ultrashort pulses in fiber lasers. First, since pulse dynamics are dominated by the interaction of the fiber's cubic Kerr nonlinearity and chromatic dispersion with an intensity-discriminating mechanism referred to as a saturable absorber, the stability of a harmonic mode-locked distribution is studied by external injection of a continuous wave. Finally, we implemented nanomaterial based saturable absorbers in fiber laser configuration to generate ultrashort pulses with high average output power. Different techniques of achieving such components are explicitly detailed: ultrashort pulse generation in ring cavities where graphene and topological insulators are deposited on optical tapers to form a saturable absorber

Повний текст джерелаIn this work, we study the nonlinear dynamics of laser diodes optically injected with frequency combs.We first theoretically and experimentally analyze the nonlinear dynamics of edge-emitting lasers (EELs) from an optical injection of frequency combs. The injection parameters and injected comb properties are varied to unveil several locked and unlocked dynamics. For large enough injection strength and over a large detuning range, the injection locking bifurcates to a time-periodic dynamics corresponding to an optical frequency comb that extends the injected comb to a much broader optical spectrum. A bifurcation analysis reveals a cascade harmonic frequency comb dynamics leading to a significant increase in the output comb lines. We have also used the injection parameters, comb properties, and injection current to control the new comb properties. We secondly analyze the nonlinear dynamics and polarization properties in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) subject to orthogonal optical injection with frequency combs experimentally. Most importantly, the VCSEL shows two frequency combs with orthogonal polarization from a single device for some injection parameters. We also demonstrate the possibility to control the single or two polarizations comb repetition rate through harmonic frequency combs generation. We finally present experimentally and theoretically the VCSEL injection dynamics from parallel optical frequency comb injection. We show that the two polarizations combperformance is restricted to high current injection in the case of parallel optical injection. For fixed bias current, the two polarization comb dynamics disappear when increasing the injected comb spacing.This thesis therefore demonstrates besides its interest for nonlinear laser dynamics, optical injection is a technique to harness the comb properties in laser diodes

Повний текст джерелаIn this work two nonlinear phenomena are investigated, multistability due to delayed feedback and synchronization of quasiperiodic oscillations. The experimental devices are semiconductor lasers with ultra-short optical feedback, which is integrated on the same chip as the laser. Delayed feedback causes the folding of lasing modes, leading to hysteresis effects and even the coexistence of several laser states for the same parameters. A regime of tristability of continuous-wave (cw) states is found for multiple ranges of applied currents. Very close to threshold, one of the lasing states may be replaced by the stable ``off''''-state. Theoretical investigations in the framework of the paradigmatic Lang-Kobayashi model provide a consistent understanding of the experimental findings. Besides modifying the stationary behavior of a semiconductor laser, delayed feedback can cause instabilities of the laser output. Depending on strength and phase of the feedback, two types of self-sustaining pulsations of the emitted light intensity are found in our devices. Synchronization processes of such pulsations are studied in a system of two coupled multisection lasers. Periodic self-pulsations of laser 1 are injected into laser 2, which is operating in a regime with two-frequency quasiperiodic self-pulsations. The experimental system demonstrates the new type of transitions to synchrony between three frequencies which has been recently revealed using generic coupled phase and van der Pol oscillator models. Moreover, carefully determining the coherence of the noisy oscillations, so far unexplored processes of coherence transfer to nonsynchronized oscillations are revealed.

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 джерелаCoherent light sources are nowadays ubiquitous in scientific research and engineering applications and have been miniaturized since their inception. Physically, the onset and development of laser coherence is largely affected by the cavity size reduction, but this becomes apparent only for the smallest Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs). Thus the following questions arise: When does coherence set in? How does it develop? How do we define threshold? Is there a unique threshold value and does it exist at all for a nanolaser? What is the dynamical response to modulation in this uncharted territory? In this thesis we explore the regime of laser operation around what is conventionally called the threshold point and obtain experimental answers to some of the questions from mesoscale lasers. Correlation functions, temporal dynamics, phase space reconstruction, statistical indicators and spatially-resolved intensity and emission wavelength measurements are the indicators for the answers we seek. The dynamical response is investigated by applying a sinusoidal modulation to very small VCSELs, where we obtain the amplification of pulses in the threshold region, anomalous amplification of the spontaneous emission (in a cross-polarized channel), regular and (mostly) irregular pulsations due to the strong influence of spontaneous emission in these small devices. Finally, a two-dimensional characterization of the radiation properties transversely to the emission shows the correlation between coherence buildup and the establishment of a laser mode. For larger devices, this analysis lays the foundation for investigating the buildup of coherence in spatially extended lasers

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 джерелаThe recent evolution of optical communication systems is such that the transfer of massive amounts of information is no longer limited to long-distance transoceanic links or backbone networks. Numerous short-reach applications requiring high data throughputs are emerging, not only in access networks, where upgrades of the bit rate of fiber-to-the-home systems need to be anticipated, but also in data center networks where huge amounts of information may need to be exchanged between servers, in part triggered by the rise of big data applications. The new requirements in terms of cost and energy consumption set by novel short-reach applications therefore need to be considered in the design and operation of a new generation of semiconductor laser sources. Owing to the tight quantum confinement of carriers, quantum dot lasers constitute a class of oscillators exhibiting superior characteristics such as a lower operating threshold, a better thermal stability as well as larger optical nonlinearities. The investigation of quantum dot lasers operating under external perturbations allows probing such optical nonlinearities in the view of developing all-optical wavelength-converters with improved performance as well as optical feedback-resistant transmitters. This last point iseven more critical since it is expected that short-reach links making use of directly modulated sources will experience massive deployment in the near future, in contrast to conventional backbone links where the number of required optoelectronic interfaces remains relatively modest. In order to do so, the thesis reports on novel findings in GaAs- and InP-based quantum dot lasers such as improved bandwidth and conversion efficiency under optical injection and various complex dynamics with delayed quantum dot oscillators emitting on different lasing states. Last but not the least, the massive deployment of coherent systems as well as the realization of future chip-scale atomic clocks require the implementation of optical sources with narrow spectral linewidth otherwise the sensitivity to the phase noise of both transmitters and local oscillators can strongly affect the bit error rates at the receiver. This is another objective to be addressed in the thesis where the benefits of the quantum dot technology has allowed to reach a spectral linewidth as low as 160 kHz (100 kHz under optical feedback) which is of paramount importance not only regarding the aforementioned applications

Повний текст джерелаSystems with time-delay are ubiquitous in nature and attract significant interest in the field of nonlinear dynamics. The scope of this Thesis is the spatiotemporal dynamics in spatially extended nonlinear systems with time-delay, with a focus on the dynamics of localized structures. The systems under consideration are described by partial differential equations with delayed feedback and coupled systems of delay differential equations. For the partial differential equations, the existence and stability of plane wave solutions as well as localized structures are investigated in one-dimensional complex cubic and cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation with delayed feedback. The first result of this Thesis is the complete description of the set of plane wave solutions and their stability in the limit of large delay time. Due to the symmetry of Ginzburg-Landau equation, this set forms a one-dimensional family which leads to the appearance of the “tube” in parameter coordinates which is filled densely with plane wave solutions with the increase of the delay time. The second novel result is the description of modulational instability of localized structures in spatially extended systems with time-delay which can lead to periodic and chaotic zigzagging movement of the solution. The third result is the description of bound pulse trains in coupled delay systems depicting an array of mode-locked lasers. In this regime mode-locked pulses in different lasers interact locally via the balance of their repulsion and attraction. As a result, clusters of pulses emerge which can not exist in a solitary mode-locked laser. All of the aforementioned phenomena were described analytically and the results are supported by path continuation methods as well as direct numerical simulations with a specially designed software tool.

Повний текст джерелаDissipative solitons (DS) are self-localized wave-packets appearing in spatially extended dissipative systems. In optics, all the DS that have been observed in propagative systems can be cast in two categories, depending on the presence or absence of an external forcing, i.e. the phase symmetry is broken or not. In forced systems, DS are locked in phase to forcing whereas without forcing, their phase is free an can wander in the course of time. In this thesis, we study the formation of propagative DS in two different experimental systems that fundamentally differ from the presence or lack of an external forcing. The first one is a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) submitted to a frequency selective feedback, in which DS form in the transverse plane of the system (2D). We analyze how the synchronization of the longitudinal frequencies (mode-locking) can give rise to tri-dimensionnal localization of light: light bullets. The second system is a highly multimode semiconductor ring laser with external forcing, whose spatial extension takes place along the propagation dimension. When the forcing frequency is slightly detuned from the natural frequency of the system, we can see the appearance of self-confined 2 pi phase rotations embedded in a homogeneous (synchronized) state. We then report on the first observation of DS that form in the phase of the optical wave : dissipative phase solitons

Повний текст джерелаExtreme events are phenomena, often considered as catastrophic, that occur in the tail of a distribution usually deviating from an expected, exponential decay. In optics, these events were first studied in the context of fibers, where they have been extensively analyzed, as optical rogue waves, in light of the well known analogy between optics and hydrodynamics, through the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. With the development and the broadening of the field, extreme events have been also studied in dissipative optical systems with or without spatial degrees of freedom. In this Thesis we focused on the study of extreme events in three different active and dissipative optical systems, each presenting one or two spatial degrees of freedom, either in the transverse plane, perpendicular to the direction of propagation of light, or in the propagation direction. Localized structures of different nature represent an important possible solution in each one of the systems here studied, hence their interaction and the role played in the formation of extreme events have been also investigated into details. In the first system, a monolithic broad-area semiconductor laser (VCSEL) with an intracavity saturable absorber, we report on the occurrence of extreme events in the 2D transverse plane of the electric field intensity. In particular we highlight the connection between these objects and cavity solitons, both stationary and oscillatory, also present in the system. In the second system, a highly multimode laser with optical injection spatially extended along the propagation direction, we analyze the interaction and merging of phase solitons, localized structures propagating along the cavity carrying a 2π phase rotation. Extreme events have been investigated in two configurations: a first one where they emerge from the collision of phase solitons with other transient structures carrying a negative chiral charge, and a second one where high-peak events emerge from an unstable roll regime where phase solitons are not a stable solution. In both these systems we investigate the role of chirality in the extreme event formation. In the third system, a broad-area semiconductor laser (VCSEL) with optical injection, we study into details the interaction of cavity solitons in the transverse plane, described as two particles subjected to an interaction potential exponentially decreasing with the distance between the two objects: a possible analogy with hydrophobic materials is here suggested. Some preliminary results showing spatiotemporal extreme events in this system are also given

Повний текст джерелаSubjecting atoms or molecules to intense laser pulses gives rise to a variety of highly nonlinear phenomena, such as for instance the ionization of electrons and the radiation of high-frequency photons. The distributions of the velocity of the ionized electrons of the frequency of the radiated photons measured at the detector encode relevant informations on the target atoms and molecules at the natural time scale of the electrons, the attosecond-that is, million, million, millionths of a second. Understanding the dynamics of the ionized electrons and identifying the mechanisms of high-frequency radiation are essential steps toward interpreting and decoding the informations encrypted in the experimental measurements.In this thesis, atoms subjected to intense and elliptically polarized laser fields in the infrared regime are theoretically studied. Despite their fundamental quantal nature in atoms, electrons display some classical behaviors when subjected to intense laser pulses. We exploit these classical features to understand and picture, with the help of trajectories, the physical mechanisms at play in order to interpret experimental measurements. After ionizing, the motion of the electrons is analyzed using techniques from nonlinear dynamics. This thesis work demonstrates the complementarity of quantum mechanics and nonlinear dynamics for understanding and illustrating the mechanisms involved when atoms are subjected to intense and elliptically polarized laser pulses
