[ANGLÈS] This thesis is focused on benchmarking different nonlinear media that are currently used for all-optical signal processing. The materials survey has been based on both low linear losses and highly nonlinear ...

Four-photon stimulated Raman adiabatic passage–like (STIRAP-like) processes in the frame of the D1 optical transition line of atomic 39K are investigated theoretically by means of a rigorous model that takes into account ...

Optical amplifiers in all ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum exhibit an essential characteristic, namely the input signal during the propagation in the amplifier medium is multiplied by the avalanche effect of the ...

[ANGLÈS] Quantum frequency conversion of quantum memory compatible photons to telecom wavelength is a requirement for the implementation of scalable quantum repeaters, a key ingredient for long distance quantum communications ...

We present a theoretical study on coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond pulse amplification mediated by nonlinear parametric enhanced forward scattering occurring in the interaction of a strong femtosecond infrared ...

We present an indirect, non-destructive optical method for domain statistic characterization in disordered nonlinear crystals having homogeneous refractive index and spatially random distribution of ferroelectric domains. ...

[ANGLÈS] We demonstrate a stabilized phase-locked divide-by-2 synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (SPOPO) based on BiB3O6 (BIBO) a crystal with type I interaction in the xz plane operating in degenerate ...

We address the interplay between two fundamentally different wavepacket localization mechanisms, namely resonant dynamic localization due to collapse of quasi-energy bands in periodic media and disorder-induced Anderson ...
