Performance monitoring is one of the key features to create self-managed optical networks. Monitoring the characteristics of an optical channel is important for designing robust and reliable optical telecommunication system. This thesis examined the use of ...
This thesis presents a new tomographic imaging method using multiple wavelengths in digital holographic microscopy. It is based on the addition of several reconstructed wavefronts measured at different wavelengths. The resulting diffraction tomographic vis ...
Bandpass filters for microwave frequencies realized with thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators (FBAR) are a promising alternative to current dielectric or surface acoustic wave filters for use in mobile telecommunication applications. With equivalent per ...
In this thesis, we describe a method for the numerical reconstruction of the complete wavefront properties from a single digital hologram: the amplitude, the phase and the polarization state. For this purpose, we present the principle of digital holographi ...
This thesis presents new developments on the different intrinsic failure mechanisms of silica optical fibres and fibre Bragg gratings with regard to applications in the fields of telecommunications and metrology. These failure mechanisms are mainly due to ...
Optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) is non-destructive interferometric technique that allows measuring amplitude and phase of the light reflected from the device under test. OLCR is a powerful tool for the characterization of the various optical dev ...
We present a digital holographic microscope that permits one to image polarization state. This technique results from the coupling of digital holographic microscopy and polarization digital holography. The interference between two orthogonally polarized re ...
Combination approaches provide a useful way to improve adaptive filter performance. In this paper, we study the tracking performance of an adaptive convex combination of two transversal filters. The individual filters are independently adapted using their ...
Hill et al. reported for the first time in 1978 the formation of refractive-index gratings in germanium doped silica fibers exposed to UV laser radiation. Since then many studies have been performed on fiber gratings and a widespread range of applications ...
This paper presents a new method for writing and erasing a birefringence in optical fibers by polarized UV side-exposure. This experiment gives new insight into the origin of the induced birefringence and some applications are outlined ...
