Characteristics of one-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 mum) and two-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 double right arrow 1.48 mum) phosphorus-doped fiber Raman lasers are studied. The cavities of both lasers are formed by Bragg gratings written d ...
We present the design and analysis of a tunable resonant optical filter based on modulation of the near-field coupling between two subwavelength periodic nanostructures embedded in a Fabry-Pérot cavity. Due to the transverse localization of the optical fie ...
This work connects of three domains of fiber optics : the fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), the optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) and the fiber optical sensors (using FBGs, the OLCR or a combination of both). Fiber Bragg gratings are fiber optic devices ...
We report on the application of double-clad doped fiber amplifiers for coherent space communication systems using a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) design at 1.06 μm. The master oscillator is either a single-frequency Nd:YAG solid-state laser or a ...
A complete set-up for local annealing of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) is proposed. Such alloys, when plastically deformed at a given low temperature, have the ability to recover a previously memorised shape simply by heating up to a higher temperature. They f ...
We have designed and developed a new class of optical fiber components based on thin-film coatings and fiber gratings. In our design, the function of the thin-film fiber coating is to provide an electrical means to regulate the optical response of the fibe ...
The characterization of the fracture process zone inside a cracked concrete specimen is investigated through optical fiber technology. Fiber Bragg gratings are used to measure the strains in the close vicinity of the crack front, thus enabling us (for the ...
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 ...
Fiber lasers in the visible spectral range at 603 and 634 nm were demonstrated using upconversion in fluoride Pr3+-Yb3+-doped fibers and Bragg gratings photoinduced in germanosilicate fibers. Reliable fine tuning of the all-fiber laser over 6.9 at 603 nm h ...
Coherent optical beams are used to communicate, store, and process information in a growing number of applications. The availability of coherent laser sources is of critical importance for the realization of such optical information systems. An incoherent ...
