Rayonnement thermique

Résumé

Le rayonnement thermique est un rayonnement électromagnétique généré par l'agitation thermique de particules dans la matière quel que soit l'état de celle-ci : solide, liquide ou gaz. Le spectre de ce rayonnement s'étend du domaine micro-ondes à l'ultra-violet. L'expression est également utilisée pour des phénomènes beaucoup plus énergétiques tels que rencontrés dans les plasmas, qui sont la source de rayonnement X. Ce phénomène conduit au rayonnement du corps noir lorsque l'interaction matière - rayonnement est réversible et importante. Ce résultat est indépendant de la nature de la source, qu'elle soit surfacique ou volumique. Dans ce cas, la luminance est isotrope et décrite par la loi de Planck. La loi du déplacement de Wien détermine la longueur d'onde de la valeur maximale du spectre émis. La loi de Stefan-Boltzmann donne l'exitance (densité de flux énergétique) émise par une surface limitant un corps noir opaque. Le rayonnement thermique est un des mécanismes principaux de tra

Demonstration of the echo-enabled harmonic generation technique for short-wavelength seeded free electron lasers

Pierre-Louis Pernet

We report the first experimental demonstration of the echo-enabled harmonic generation technique, which holds great promise for generation of high-power, fully coherent short-wavelength radiation. In this experiment, coherent radiation at the 3rd and 4th harmonics of the second seed laser is generated from the so-called beam echo effect. The experiment confirms the physics behind this technique and paves the way for applying the echo-enabled harmonic generation technique for seeded x-ray free electron lasers. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

Smart antennas have been recently applied to improve the capacity and the performance of second generation wireless mobile communication systems. In general, smart antennas reduce the effects of multipath fading and improve the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SNIR). Additional advantages such as channel capacity increase in urban areas, coverage extension in urban areas and spectrum efficiency in general can be obtained with the aid of smart antennas at the base station. Drawbacks are the cost, and both hardware and software complexity. Smart antennas promise a clear advantage in multi-service traffic scenario in comparison with non-adaptive antenna techniques. It is generally accepted that the adaptive antennas technique will be a key enable for the success of the European third generation mobile communication system known as Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). The first part of this thesis presents two types of smart antenna systems: switched beam antennas and adaptive arrays. It introduces statistical models for them and investigates the performance measures of cellular radio systems with and without smart antennas deployed at base stations. Employing Monte-Carlo methodology, a tool has been developed to analyze the interference between two different systems that share the same geographical area and have neighboring frequency channels. The statistical smart antennas model has been used to verify the mitigation of the interference compared with others antennas used at the base station. These simulations have been done for TDMA, FDMA and CDMA systems. Wireless communication operating at different frequencies on the non-ionizing radiation (NIR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum has greatly increased in the last few decades, with important benefits for the population. These include mobile communication, such as cellular telephone systems. However, the radiated electromagnetic field levels increased substantially in areas where people may stay during long periods each day. This may result in long-term exposure to the population. International guidelines and standards were developed aiming at protecting the population, and limiting the maximum radiation produced. The methods used by regulation authorities to evaluate the field levels at places of sensitive use yield very conservative results. They need thus to be refined prior to the introduction of adaptive antennas. In the second part of the thesis, a 3D ray tracing tool is developed to predict the propagation for real scenarios using UMTS systems. This tool takes into account 3D radiation diagrams and multipath propagation. It was used in real scenarios to compare the real field levels with the levels obtained by the approximate methods defined by the regulation standards. Finally, this tool was used to predict the field levels in a scenario containing smart antennas. Scenario not foreseen in the method described in the standards.

Ultra low quantum decoherence nano-optomechanical systems

Mohammadjafar Bereyhi

Thermal motion of a room-temperature mechanical resonator typically dominates the quantum backaction of its position measurement. This is a longstanding barrier for exploring cavity optomechanics at room temperature. In order to enter the quantum regime of the optomechanical interaction, we need to be in the "backaction-dominated" regime, where we can study the limits of quantum measurement and how to circumvent them. To create a system which can enter the quantum regime, the optomechanical transducer has to satisfy certain criteria. A quantum-enabled optomechanical system consists of an optical cavity and a mechanical resonator with ultra low quantum decoherence, which are strongly coupled to each other via the optomechanical interaction.High stress silicon nitride has enabled nanomechanical resonators with exceptionally low dissipation at room temperature via several soft-clamping techniques. Achieving high optomechanical coupling to these coherent nanobeams results in high optomechanical cooperativities, thus alleviating the thermal motion barrier for room temperature quantum optomechanics. Monolithic integration of high-Q nanobeam resonators with optical cavities has been limited to doubly-clamped nanobeams due to the complexity of the device fabrication and long device sizes required for conventional soft-clamping using phononic crystals. In addition, the previous demonstrations of such systems showed limited optomechanical couplings thus a limited single photon cooperativity.I present the design, fabrication and characterization of three different classes of nanomechanical resonators clamp-tapered, fractal-like, and polygon resonators, which support perimeter modes, with Q factors exceeding 3 billion at room temperature and their optical readout using an integrated nearfield nano-optomechanical transducer using high stress silicon nitride. Our transducer features a one-dimensional Fabry-Perot optical cavity integrated with a high-Q nanomechanical resonator. The Fabry-Perot optical cavity is formed by patterning two photonic crystal reflectors on a silicon nitride waveguide designed for high-Q optical modes. Our approach allows individual optimization of optical and mechanical resonators, while maintaining a high optomechanical coupling rate due to large optomechanical mode overlap. Our best performing devices show on-chip optomechanical transducers with single photon cooperativities as high as 123 with mechanical quality factor of 120 million at room temperature. The developed system is of great interest to the optomechanics and sensing community. In quantum optomechanics, it will serve as a platform for quantum feedback control of the nanomechanical resonators to achieve motional ground state of a macroscopic resonator and generation of squeezed light at room temperature. Owing to their record value mechanical quality factors, the room temperature force sensitivity of our highest Q perimeter modes is on par with atomic force microscopy cantilevers at millikelvin temperature.Complete documentation of a nanofabrication process is the key to its reproducibility. Process-specific details of the fabrication techniques are usually missing in journal publications. To bridge this gap, I developed NanoFab-net.org. An online open-access tool that allows sharing process-specific fabrication reports, extracting the metadata and obtaining a unique digital object identifier (DOI) for each report.
