▼ Optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is a kind of light source similar to a laser but based on
parametric gain from amplification in a nonlinear medium rather than from stimulated emission. It features wide frequency tunability and high power narrow linewidth output, which enables its application to laser spectroscopy and atom-light interaction. Although OPOs could provide two synchronized pulse trains for coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) imaging, they remain bulky and sensitive tools requiring careful alignment, making these devices unpractical for surgical situations. Thus, all-fiber source for coherent Raman imaging have generated interest among clinical researchers and doctors. Thanks to recent advances in the understanding of nonlinear pulse evolution in
optical fibers and engineering of PCF structures, fiber-based OPOs have achieved performance comparable to conventional solid-state devices. This thesis discussed the previous effort towards an all-fiber source of pulses for use in CARS imaging, as well as principles behind picosecond pulse generation and coherent Raman imaging. An all-fiber OPO pumped by commercial solid state laser and divided pulse amplifier is demonstrated based on frequency conversion of picosecond pulses through four-wave mixing process in customized photonic crystal fiber. This will be another step further towards an all-fiber device for coherent Raman microscopy.

▼ Ultra-fast transitions buried within long recovery times are difficult to measure and study directly. As an example, consider the spectroscopic measurement of a non-radiative upper level transition of a laser material possessing a long fluorescence time. The slow time constant of the overall relaxation process requires a pump with a low repetition rate. The speed of the transition in question requires an ultra-fast probe. It is difficult to obtain synchronous multi-wavelength pulses that satisfy both femtosecond duration and kilohertz repetition rates.
We circumvent these issues by cavity dumping a femtosecond optical parametric oscillator. The signal is accessed at the appropriate rate to act as the pump, and the use of quasi-phase-matching provides synchronous sub-100 fs probe pulses at various wavelengths. We study the transient behavior of the singly-resonant optical parametric oscillator and develop a model to predict recovery profiles after loss events. Finally, we explore the feasibility of applying the new technique to Cr4+:YAG crystals to query the never before measured time constant of the 3E to 3B2 transition.

▼ Cette thèse présente une étude des premiers peignes de
fréquences auto-référencés basés sur des lasers à disques
semi-conducteurs (SDLs) à modes verrouillés en phase.
L’avènement des peignes de fréquences stabilisés basés sur des
lasers à impulsions ultra-courtes a permis une avancée
significative et de nombreuses applications dans divers domaines de
la physique, de la spectroscopie et de la métrologie. Les peignes
de fréquences optiques peuvent être utilisés comme une règle de
mesure dans le domaine des fréquences fournissant un lien direct et
cohérent entre les fréquences optiques et micro-ondes. Bien que les
peignes de fréquences optiques aient révolutionné de nombreux
domaines scientifiques, ils n'ont pas encore pénétré les marchés à
grande échelle. Pour cela, les sources laser doivent être
améliorées, en ciblant une haute fiabilité tout en gardant la
source compacte et économiquement attractive. Les SDLs à
impulsions ultra-courtes, également appelés lasers à cavité
verticale externe à émission de surface ou VECSELs (de l’anglais
<i>vertical external-cavity surface-emitting
lasers</i>), constituent une source laser très prometteuse à
cet égard de par la technologie des semi-conducteurs qui permet une
production de masse à faible coût. Ils rendent possibles des
configurations de lasers très compactes et présentent une grande
flexibilité dans leur longueur d'onde d’émission grâce à
l'ingénierie de bandes. En outre, ils ne souffrent pas
d'instabilités de mode déclenché (<i>Q-switching</i>)
et un fonctionnement stable en verrouillage de mode a été démontré
à des taux de répétition allant de 100 MHz à 100 GHz. Les peignes
de fréquences à taux de répétition élevés ont une puissance accrue
par mode, ce qui est bénéfique pour des applications telles que
l'astronomie ou la génération de signaux micro-ondes à faible
bruit. La stabilisation des deux degrés de liberté du
laser à verrouillage de mode, la fréquence de répétition et la
fréquence du décalage de phase entre la porteuse et l'enveloppe
(<i>carrier-envelope offset</i> en anglais, CEO) est
nécessaire pour la plupart des applications. Cependant, la
détection de la fréquence CEO est difficile et aucune stabilisation
n'avait été obtenue auparavant pour un laser à semi-conducteur à
impulsions ultra-courtes. La détection de la fréquence CEO est
généralement effectuée à l'aide d'une méthode d'auto-référencement
qui nécessite un spectre cohérent couvrant une octave de fréquence.
Ce dernier peut être généré en utilisant des fibres optiques
hautement non linéaires telles que des fibres à cristaux
photoniques (<i>photonic crystal fibers</i> en anglais,
PCFs). Afin de maintenir la cohérence durant le processus
d'élargissement spectral, des impulsions ultra-courtes dans le
domaine des femtosecondes (typiquement <200 fs) avec une
puissance de crête de l’ordre du kilowatt sont nécessaires.
Cependant, même si des puissances maximales allant jusqu'à 6.3 kW
et des durées d'impulsion allant jusqu'à 96 fs ont été démontrées
pour des SDLs, la combinaison des deux n'a pas…

▼ The aim of this project is to develop a novel, high average power source of highly coherent radiation at the 589nm sodium D2 resonance line for use in creating a laser guide star for use with adaptive optics systems such as astronomical telescopes and satellite ranging. Adaptive optics is used to improve the resolution of ground base telescope by compensating the atmospheric turbulence. To achieve this it is necessary to measure and correct the distortions caused by the atmosphere on the beam. A laser guide star provides a beacon which combined with a wavefront sensor allows the effect of the atmosphere to be quantified and mechanical corrections made to the adaptive optics in the telescope to cancel those distortions. Whilst laser guide stars have been demonstrated as effective in a number of astronomical observatories, at present there is no laser technology that dominates this application. This project will demonstrate a novel approach to the creation of high average power optical sources for guide star applications. The aim of the project is to build a prototype of high average power, synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillators pumped by novel high power solid state laser technology. The Magnesium Oxide doped periodically poled Lithium Niobate was used as the nonlinear crystal for the 532nm pumped singly resonant parametric oscillator. The oscillator was pumped by 1.4W of 532nm light which was created from a 3.5W mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser by a Lithium Triborate second harmonic generator. With a grating period of 12.05µm, the signal at the wavelength of 594nm was obtained at 150C. There was unexpected green absorption of the crystal, which undermined the performance of the oscillator. However, from the experimental results of a Potassium Titanyl Phosphate optical parametric oscillator, it was demonstrated that highly efficient parametric oscillator can be built despite the idler absorption.

▼ This thesis describes the experimental implementation of novel intersecting cavity terahertz
optical parametric oscillators based on bulk and periodically-poled magnesium oxide-doped lithium niobate. Both collinear and non-collinear phase-matching geometries have been demonstrated and injection-seeding has been implemented in devices using periodically-poled
material to reduce threshold and increase the down-conversion efficiency. A comprehensive characterisation of the original
intracavity terahertz OPO was
undertaken, which revealed the parameters having the greatest impact on OPO
efficiency (idler mirror reflectivity and cavity length) and led to a better
understanding of the losses in the system. During the characterisation process,
generation of further terahertz radiation at the same frequency as that generated
by the
parametric process was observed and identified as being a result of
difference frequency generation (DFG) between the parametrically-generated
idler and terahertz waves. This phenomenon had previously only been observed
when periodically-poled materials were employed in the system. The effect of
this additional DFG process has been analysed in terms of the enhancement of
the terahertz field on the basis of the coupled wave equations and physically
measured quantities.
The use of periodically-poled lithium niobate has been a major part of the
research presented in this thesis.
A comprehensive study of the modified phase-matching conditions was carried out and both collinear and novel hybrid non-collinear phase-matching geometries were identified.
Several computer models were developed to assess the performance of any given grating design in these different geometries and the effects of temperature tuning and pump wavelength variation were also investigated using the models.
Experimental studies confirmed the viability of the modelling approach but material limitations (particularly the early onset of crystal damage) limited the outcomes of the experiments. A detailed comparison of the poled and bulk materials was made to highlight the present drawbacks of the poled material. Finally, injection seeding was used to improve the efficiency of the collinear phase-matched PPLN OPOs. When seeding was used the depletion of the pump
pulse was increased to the point of being measurable, reaching an upper level of
10%. Coupling constraints placed on the seed laser limited the amount of depletion attained. The potential for injection seeding to be used in the hybrid non-collinear phase-matching scheme was also identified but not realised during the course of this work. Were this technique successful, the tuning range of the intersecting cavity terahertz OPO could be extended to encompass the sub-1THz region, something that has previously been limited by the available idler cavity angles.

▼ This master thesis presents an experimental design of a laser gyroscope based on a stabilized fiber
optical parametric oscillator frequency comb and the results of testing of the proposed design. Before going into the experimental details, a background for different types of gyroscopes is discussed. This new laser gyroscope design is made up of only polarization maintaining (PM) fiber and PM fiber components. By using only fiber and fiber components, we were able to minimize size, weight, and alignment issues that are typical in bulk
optical designs for OPO's and gyroscopes. The fiber-based OPO produces counter propagating ultrafast pulses that overlap only twice in the cavity, resulting in a beatnote signal when combined outside of the laser cavity. A mode-locked laser is used as a pump source so the lock-in effect (or deadband region) is avoided for the experiment. The drift of this beatnote signal represents the rotation sensitivity of the experimental setup. Issues seen in past iterations, such as stability of mode-locked pump source and beatnote drift overtime due to environmental variables, have been reduced in this experiment. This has been done by comprising the entire pump source of PM components, and by placing the entire setup in an insulating box to minimize acoustic and temperature fluctuations. By creating a frequency comb and locking the laser gyroscope to an
optical clock, this experiment can be used for very precise rotation sensing in comparison to other gyro designs currently available.

▼ Realizamos neste trabalho a construção de um Oscilador Paramétrico Ótico triplamente ressonante bombeado por um laser de Titânio Safira sintonizável na faixa entre 730 nm e 800 nm com potencial de extensão. Os feixes emitidos possuem comprimento de onda em torno de 1560 nm que estão na janela de transmissão das fibras óticas, com potência de saída máxima em torno de 420 mW e um limiar de oscilação mínimo de 53(3) mW quando bombeado por 780.126(0.03) nm. Para os feixes gêmeos a finesse da cavidade vale F=155 e as perdas intracavidade 0.05(0.1)%, permitindo, em tese, uma compressão de ruído próxima a 97(6)%. Esse OPO foi construído com o propósito de que o utilizemos como fonte geradora de estados triplamente emaranhados em um sistema de armazenamento e transferência de informação quântica quando em interação com um sistema atômico de rubídio. Medimos a potência de limiar e a eficiência de conversão para cada comprimento de onda do feixe de bombeio utilizado para caracterizar o sistema.
At the present work we conducted the construction of a triply resonant Optical Parametric Oscillator pumped by a Titanium-Sapphire laser, which is tunable between 730 nm to 800 nm. The emitted beams have wavelength around 1560 nm, in the optical fibers transmission window, maximum output of 420 mW and minimum oscillation threshold of 53(3) mW. For the twin beams, the cavity finesse is F=155 mW and the intracavity losses are 0.05(0.10)%, allowing, in principle, a noise compression close to 97(5)%. The present OPO was built having the purpose of being used as source of triply entangled states in a system for quantum information storage and transfer, while interacting with an atomic rubidium system. We measured the power threshold and conversion efficiency for each pump beam wavelength that we used to characterize the system.

▼ Squeezed states of light addressed in this Thesis have proved to be the most readily accessible
optical fields with demonstrably quantum mechanical behaviour in the Continuous Variable regime and they are considered at the heart of Quantum Mechanics. They may be concretely applied in several research fields such as metrology and quantum information science, as well as enabling to investigate the properties of the quantum world.
Since their first observation, considerable progresses have been made in their generation and detection techniques. The research activity presented in this Thesis is devoted to the development of an experimental setup based thereon. The heart of generation process is a sub-threshold
Optical Parametric Oscillator whereas the detection system is based on Homodyne Detector.
On this structural background, we implemented an electronic/
optical apparatus whereby it is possible to generate different kinds of squeezed states on demand. This Thesis presents how these engineered generation/acquisition processes work. Besides, it features a miniaturized Homodyne detection system based on a waveguide beam splitter inscribed in a glass substrate by femtosecond laser writing technology. We demonstrate for the first time the possibility to use such a device to detect genuine nonclassical features of light.

▼ Ultrafast laser technology has become an important tool to push the edge of scientific knowledge and industrial applications. Many ultrafast lasers have been developed and successfully used in research and in industry. Currently, Ti:sapphire solid state lasers could be the most important and widespread apparatus to begin with. However, having an ultrafast laser source with a compact size, stable performance, alignment- and maintenance-free becomes a desirable feature for scientists and industrial developers, especially for the applications in advanced spectroscopy and microscopy. In these ultrafast laser applications, system movability becomes a challenge since a spectroscopy or microscopy setup is supposed to be able to move to where the sample of interest is located. This practical requirement makes femtosecond fiber lasers the best candidate. In this dissertation, we have developed three ultrafast fiber laser sources for a variety of spectroscopy and microscopy applications. The first source is a free-running compact ultra-broadband fiber laser for dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS). We start from a free-running bidirectional mode-locked fiber laser (FRBML) delivering two outputs, in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, near 1550 nm. The two outputs exhibit mutual coherence since they are generated from a single laser cavity. They also have a slight difference in repetition rate, which provides the required mechanism for DCS. This laser design concept has been proven working by HCN absorption measurements which was reported in the past by our group. The wavelength coverage of this source is then extended here for broader detection ability. A piece of highly-nonlinear fiber was used for supercontinuum (SC) generation in each output arm of the FRBML. This mutually coherent SC light sources cover a wavelength range from 1 μm to 2 μm. The water vapor absorption resonances in the range from 1380 nm to 1850 nm measured with this newly developed source show good agreements with the HITRAN data. Wavelength extension for this free-running DCS source has also been done by using an all-fiber bidirectional
optical parametric oscillator (FOPO). This FOPO delivers two outputs with a tuning rage from 1600 nm to 1650 nm. Single-shot DCS measurements performed with the source and a CH4 gas cell indicate good absorption frequency accuracy when comparing to the HITRAN data.
The second source is related to another application of the FRBML in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The amplified FRBML outputs (mentioned above) are used as the excitation source on a pair of terahertz emitter and receiver. The repetition rate difference of the outputs naturally provides the constant time-delay of the
optical sampling during the measurement. The terahertz wave generated from an advanced plasmonic enhanced terahertz emitter is from 0.1 to 1.5 THz. The generated terahertz wave has been demonstrated to be useful in high signal-to-noise ratio free-running THz-TDS. This trigger-free, free-running THz-TDS performance was characterized…

▼ Back-scatter absorption gas imaging (BAGI) is a powerful laser-based detection technique whereby the strong spectroscopic absorption features in the gaseous species of interest are exploited in order to provide an image of the otherwise invisible (to the naked eye) gas. Such a device had been under development at the University of St. Andrews for the past three years. This thesis is concerned with the work carried out in the design, construction and testing of an electronic supervisory system for such a device to both control the electro-mechanical image acquisition hardware and display the image data upon an LCD module via an on-board video driver. Two different LCD display technologies, super twisted nematic (STN) and thin film transistor (TFT), have been demonstrated and their suitability for use in this system is assessed. It was found that the refresh rate and contrast ratio of the TFT display was greatly superior to that of the STN. Frame rates in excess of 10 fps have been demonstrated with this module. In addition to the scanner, a laser management system (LMS) was designed, constructed and tested to control the laser illumination system, which is based on an
intracavity optical parametric oscillator (ICOPO). This involved the development of a dual-channel PID temperature controller to stabilise various
optical components located within the ICOPO illumination source, a digitally-controlled constant current source to drive the pump diode laser and a digitally controlled system for an associated Q-switch driver module. The LMS was developed as part of the miniaturisation process and resulted in one dedicated instrument replacing six individual devices required in the laboratory demonstrator. The BAGI device has now been commercialised with elements of this research program being part of the overall instrument.

▼ Coherent Raman Scattering (CRS) microscopy is a technique used to image cells through the use of intrinsic chemical bonds, which allows for label free imaging at video rate speeds. Since the process is coherent the generated signal is orders of magnitude higher than spontaneous Raman microscopy. Many light sources have been developed for CRS microscopy, such as solid state optical parametric oscillators, supercontinuum sources, and fiber lasers. Fiber optical parametric oscillators (FOPOs) are tunable light sources based on the χ(3) nonlinearity found in SiO2. They have the potential to be integrated into compact and robust fiber components. This thesis describes an optimization for output power through tailoring the polarization at the output coupler and characterizes two FOPO systems for their applications in CRS microscopy. Chapter 1 gives a conceptual overview of spontaneous Raman, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) techniques as well as the pump sources typically used to perform CRS microscopy. Chapter 2 summarizes the physics for understanding FOPO operation. Chapter 3 describes our results for optimizing output power for a Nd:YVO4 pumped FOPO by using a polarizing beam splitter with polarization dependent components. Chapter 4 illustrates a Ti:Sapphire pumped FOPO and compares its performance with the Nd:YVO4 system.

▼ A compressão nas flutuações da diferença de intensidades dos feixes sinal e complementar gerados por um OPO acima do limiar foi medida já há algum tempo e constituiu um dos principais interesses nestes sistemas. Emaranhamento entre esses feixes, entretanto, ainda não foi experimentalmente demonstrado em circunstâncias normais de operação acima do limiar (feixes não-degenerados em frequência). Usando um critério de não-separabilidade entre sistemas contínuos, buscamos verificar se a variância de um par de operadores tipo EPR, a diferençaa de intensidades e a soma das fases de sinal e complementar, pode violar uma desigualdade suficiente para caracterizar emaranhamento. Após um estudo teórico, verificamos que isto pode de fato ocorrer numa região de parâmetros experimentalmente acessível. A medida não foi realizada até hoje devido à dificuldade em se medir quadratura fase, o que, neste caso, exigiria o uso de osciladores locais em frequências distintas. Motivados por isso, propomos uma montagem experimental que utiliza cavidades óticas para projetar ruído de fase em ruído de intensidade, tornando dessa forma acessível a medida de anticorrelação de fase entre sinal e complementar. Realizamos nossa proposta em caráter preliminar, obtendo resultados encorajadores, embora não conclusivos, que indicam a existência de emaranhamento.
Squeezing in the intensity difference of signal and idler beams generated by an OPO operating above threshold was observed some time ago and presented one of the major attraction of this system. Entanglement between the macroscopic fields, however, has not yet been demonstrated in normal operation conditions above threshold (non-degenerate beams). Using a non-separability criterion for continuous variables, we investigate whether the variances of a pair of EPR-like operators, difference of intensities and sum of phases of signal and idler, can violate a Bell-type inequality and hence characterize entanglement. After a theoretical study, we verified that entanglement can occur in an experimentally accessible region of parameters. This measurement was not performed to date owing to the difficulty of measuring the phase quadratures, which usually requires the use of local oscillators with slightly different frequencies. Motivated by this, we propose an experimental setup that uses optical cavities to rotate the noise ellipse of each beam, projecting phase noise into intensity noise, thus allowing the experimental access to the phase quadratures. We preliminarly implemented our proposal and obtained promising although not conclusive results, that indicate entanglement.

▼ Apresentamos nesta tese a primeira geração direta de emaranhamento tripartite entre feixes intensos de luz. Medimos o emaranhamento entre os feixes sinal, complementar e bombeio refletido, produzidos por um Oscilador Paramétrico Ótico (OPO) operando acima do limiar de oscilação. A principal característica do nosso sistema é a diferença entre os comprimentos de onda dos campos (l0 = 532.251 nm, l1 = 1062.102 nm, e l2 = 1066.915 nm). Esta é a primeira medida de emaranhamento entre mais de dois subsistemas produzidos por uma única fonte no âmbito de variáveis contínuas. Para investigar a existência emaranhamento, utilizamos o critério de positividade sob transposição parcial (PPT). Este critério, aplicado a sistemas compostos por estados gaussianos, dispostos em bipartições do tipo 1×(N 1), torna-se necessário e suficiente na demonstração do emaranhamento. Realizamos também a caracterização do emaranhamento produzido quando submetemos os campos a perdas, identificando regiões de parâmetros onde os estados apresentam emaranhamento frágil ou robusto. A fim de garantir que estamos lidando com estados gaussianos, investigamos a estatística das flutuações dos campos, mostrando excelente acordo entre os valores dos momentos de ordem mais alta da fotocorrente medida e os valores esperados para uma distribuição gaussiana. O estudo que apresentamos é um passo importante para a elaboração de uma rede de informação quântica que possibilitará a comunicação entre diferentes sistemas físicos.
We present in this thesis the first direct generation of tripartite entanglement among bright beams of light. We measured the entanglement among signal, idler and reflected pump beams, produced by an Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) operating above the threshold. The main feature of our system is the difference between the wavelengths of the fields (l0 = 532.251 nm, l1 = 1062.102 nm, e l2 = 1066.915 nm). This is the first measurement of entanglement among more than two subsystems produced by a single source, in a continuous variable system. In order to investigate the existence of entanglement, we applied the criterion of positivity under partial transposition (PPT). This criterion, applied to systems composed of Gaussian states, arranged in 1×(N1) bipartition, becomes necessary and sufficient to demonstrate entanglement. We also characterized the entanglement when the fields are submitted to losses, identifying regions of parameters where the states have fragile or robust entanglement. To ensure that we are dealing with Gaussian states, we investigate the statistics of the fields, showing excelent agreement among values of higher order moments of the photocurrent measured and expected values for a Gaussian distribution. The present study is an important step in the development of a quantum information network formed by different physical systems.

▼ Nous rapportons l'étude d'un Oscillateur Paramétrique Optique (OPO) picoseconde à base de cristaux apériodiques à large bande, utilisé pour des applications en spectroscopie rapide. Cette source paramétrique permet de sonder des gaz possédant des raies d’absorptions dans le moyen infrarouge, sur une plage spectrale difficilement accessible avec un laser solide conventionnel. La spécificité de l’OPO étudié est, outre son régime temporel picoseconde, son cristal non linéaire à quasi-accord de phase apériodique. Cette apériodicité élargit intrinsèquement la bande de gain paramétrique. Les travaux entrepris dans cette thèse portent dans un premier temps sur la caractérisation et l’explication des comportements propres à ce type d’OPO non contraint par filtre spectral. Nous étudions plus particulièrement l’origine du profil spectral cannelé observé dès que la puissance seuil d’oscillation est dépassée : ce profil est composé d’un pic principal et d’une succession de pics latéraux et n’est pas reporté dans la littérature. La deuxième partie de l’étude consiste au contrôle de la longueur d’onde de l’OPO picoseconde en utilisant la condition de pompage synchrone intrinsèque à ce régime temporel, et un réseau de Bragg en volume chirpé (CVBG) : un déplacement du CVBG autour de la position respectant la condition de pompage synchrone, modifie la longueur d’onde oscillant dans la cavité. Cet OPO contraint permet l’étude d’émissions de gaz (N₂O, CO₂, etc.) dans l’atmosphère par imagerie active.
Spectroscopy applications related to greenhouse gases or other gaseous pollutants involve the development of optical sources emitting in the mid-infrared region. A picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is one of these few sources. The specificity of the picosecond OPO reported in this thesis is its wide gain bandwidth obtained through the use of aperiodically poled nonlinear crystals. The first study aims to characterize and develop the specificity of broadband picosecond OPO, with an emphasis on the origin of the spectral modulation observed from the threshold: the signal spectrum consist of a main peak and a succession of lateral secondary peaks. This OPO is then associated with a chirped volume Bragg grating (CVBG) whose displacement, around the position which respects the synchronous pumping condition, changes the oscillating wavelength. The ability of this highly tunable OPO is finally tested to detect N₂O gas emissions with a backscattering gas imaging technique.

▼ The detection of cancer cells is the basis for cancer diagnostics, cancer screening and cancer treatment monitoring. Non-destructive and non-chemical
optical methods may help reduce the complexity and cost of related test, making them more available to the public. The label-free technique of optofluidic
intracavity spectroscopy (OFIS) uses light transmitted through a cellular body in a microfluidic
optical resonator to distinguish different types of cells by their spectral signatures. The OFIS chips are fabricated in the CSU semiconductor clean room and the fabrication process was reported by a previous Ph.D student, Hua Shao. She also did some initial exploration on combining dielectrophoresis (DEP) with the OFIS technique. Since then, some revisions to the fabrication technique have been made to improve the alignment, bonding and sealing of this microfluidic chip. In addition, new DEP electrode designs have been designed and fabricated to further improve the trapping performance of the traps and facilitate automated cell trapping and analysis. Viability tests were carried out to investigate the effect of heating (induced by DEP electrodes) on cells in chips built with borosilicate and sapphire substrates. These experiments used specially designed DEP electrodes that help more accurately control the DEP exposure time and strength. The survival rate of cells out of DEP enabled OFIS system is greatly affected by the substrate type and DEP exposure dose. The OFIS technique has differentiated red and white human blood cells, as well as canine lymphoma and lymphocytes based on their distinctive transmission spectra. Using OFIS chips fabricated with the modified process, OFIS spectra of settled cells from canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA) cell lines and monocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected and analyzed. To quantify the strength of transverse modes in their spectra, a single characteristic parameter was determined for each cell by forming a linear combination of the mean and standard deviation of the transmission spectra over one free spectral range excluding the residual longitudinal peaks of the bare Fabry-Pérot (F-P) cavities filled with cell suspending medium only. The difference in the characteristic parameters of HSA and monocyte samples was highly statistically significant with a p-value as low as 10-6. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve constructed from t-distributions fit to the HSA and monocytes spectra indicates that the cell classification based on their characteristic parameters can achieve 95% sensitivity and 98% specificity simultaneously. Furthermore, some features observed in the spectra of HSA cells motivated a new
optical model of the cell loaded F-P cavity. The OFIS spectra of individual cells from canine HSA and canine lymphoma cancer cell lines exhibit relatively uniformly spaced multiple transverse modes repeated in each free spectral range of a microfluidic F-P cavity while similar spectra of healthy canine monocytes and lymphocytes only have up to 2 or no…

▼ La spectrométrie laser d'absorption différentielle est une technique bien connue pour la détection à distance d'espèces chimiques dans l'atmosphère. À ce titre, la bande III qui s'étend entre 8 et 12 µm est une région particulièrement intéressante, car les bandes d'absorption de nombreuses espèces chimiques y sont intenses et se recouvrent peu entre elles. Afin de détecter ces espèces à distance dans la bande III, il est nécessaire de disposer de sources dont le rayonnement est fin spectralement, largement accordable, et énergétique. Les sources basées sur l'optique non linéaire du second ordre constituent la seule technologie capable de répondre à ces besoins. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous présenterons des résultats expérimentaux portant sur deux architectures de sources paramétriques permettant d'émettre un rayonnement dans la bande III adapté à la spectrométrie différentielle en configuration lidar. La première architecture consiste à émettre un faisceau directement dans la bande III grâce au pompage de cristaux non linéaire par des sources laser à 2 µm. La seconde architecture, consiste à amplifier les ondes signal et complémentaire issues d'un OPO à 2 µm, avant de les convertir dans la bande III par différence de fréquences. Ces sources sont basées sur l'association de technologies émergentes et sont susceptibles d'offrir des solutions viables au manque de sources émettant dans la bande III.
Laser spectrometry by differential absorption is a well-known technique for standoff detection of chemical species in the atmosphere. The longwave infrared region (LWIR), ranging from 8 to 12 µm is particularly interesting because the absorption bands of many chemical species are intense and non-overlapping. In order to detect those species in the LWIR, there is a need for sources that are spectrally narrow, widely tunable, and delivers high energies. The sources based on second order nonlinear optics are the only technology able to meet those requirements. In this work, we will present the experimental results on two parametric architectures that allows emission in the LWIR for lidar measurements. The first one consists in emitting a beam directly in the LWIR by pumping nonlinear crystals with 2 µm pump lasers. The second architecture consists in amplifying the signal and idler beams coming from a 2 µm OPO, before converting them into the LWIR by difference frequency generation. Those sources are based on the association of new technologies and have the potential to offer a viable solution to a lack of sources emitting in the LWIR.

Exploiting the Principal Parametric Resonance of an RLC" Circuit for Vibratory Energy Harvesting".

▼ The use of ambient energy sources to independently power small electronic devices, a process commonly known as
energy harvesting, has recently become a focus of research due to advances in low-power electronic applications. A particular class of energy harvesting devices, known as vibratory energy harvesters (VEHs), utilizes low-level vibrations present in numerous natural and man-made environments to generate electrical energy for electronic devices.
This work investigates the use of a new technique to harvest energy from ambient vibrations by
parametrically exciting a resonance condition of the electric current in a nonlinear oscillating circuit. To accomplish this
parametric resonance phenomenon, we consider an electromechanical coupling device, an oscillating cantilever beam with a ferromagnetic tip mass, which changes the permeability of an iron-alloy cored inductor coil to produce a harmonically-varying modulation of the inductance. Such a type of harvester possesses the potential to generate large amplitude System response that is not limited by the linear damping of the system, as is the case with directly-excited systems, but rather whose behavior is governed by the nonlinearity of the system.
In order to study the ability of such an energy harvesting system to generate electricity when
subject to external vibrations, we develop a second-order differential equation to model the theoretical dynamic behavior of a parametrically-driven nonlinear circuit. Due to the complexity of the nonlinear and harmonically-varying components of the governing equation, we use the Method of Multiple Scales to derive an approximate analytical solution for the steady-state current response and output power of the circuit near the principal
parametric resonant frequency. We show that the relationship of parameter modulation depth and load resistance characterize the bandwidth of the response and define a critical forcing threshold, below which no energy is harvested. The harvested power is maximized when the load resistance is half of the maximum load resistance at which the critical threshold is still achieved for a given forcing level. We also demonstrate the need for nonlinear damping in the system to attenuate the growth of the response to a physically attainable level. We show the dependence of the natural frequency of the circuit on the
parametric forcing parameter, which can lead detuning of the system at different forcing levels.
An experimental set up is developed to test the assertions presented by the analytical model. Numerous parameter constraints are balanced in the experimental design in order to be able to achieve the critical forcing threshold necessary for exciting the
parametric resonance condition. The frequency response behavior of the electrical current and load power in the circuit is observed by varying the natural frequency of the system, which is compared against the variation of forcing frequency presented in the theoretical section. The beam is excited at its…

▼ Investigamos as propriedades quânticas conjuntas dos três feixes intensos de luz produzidos por um oscilador paramétrico ótico (OPO) operando acima do limiar, denominados bombeio, sinal e complementar. Analisamos experimentalmente as flutuações quânticas de intensidade e fase destes feixes, e como se correlacionam. Observamos pela primeira vez a presença de correlações quânticas entre as fases dos três campos. O ruído observado na soma das fases de sinal e complementar, Vq12=1,28(3)>1, passa a apresentar compressão de ruído após ser corrigido pelas flutuações de fase do feixe de bombeio, resultando em (Vq12)=́0,84(3)<1. Para potências mais altas de bombeio, observamos também a existência de correlações quânticas diretamente entre as amplitudes do feixe de bombeio e um dos feixes convertidos (sinal ou complementar); a máxima compressão de ruído medida correspondeu a Vp02=0,86(3)<1. Estendemos nosso estudo às propriedades de emaranhamento deste sistema tripartite, para tanto utilizando dois critérios distintos. Nossos dados apontam a separabilidade do sistema no regime de operação estudado, em contradição com o modelo teórico. Utilizando o critério de emaranhamento de P. van Loock e A. Furusawa, obtivemos os seguintes valores para as combinação de variâncias que comprovariam a inseparabilidade caso fossem menores que 2: V0=1,29(5)<2, V1=2,04(11)>2 e V2=2,09(7)>2. Com relação ao segundo critério de separabilidade, positividade sob transposição parcial, obtivemos os seguintes autovalores simpléticos a partir da matriz de covariância medida: A0=0,94(8) e A1=0,36(6)<1, em que o emaranhamento seria evidenciado caso A0<1 e A1<1. Esta discordância com a previsão teórica está relacionada a um ruído clássico espúrio observado no sistema, cujas características são levantadas nesta tese. Nossa análise indica os rumos a serem seguidos para a observação do emaranhamento. Mostramos teoricamente que o emaranhamento tripartite previsto pode ser utilizado como recurso para a criação de um sistema emaranhado multipartite. Para tanto, diversos OPOs são utilizados em uma configuração em cadeia, na qual o feixe de bombeio refletido pelo primeiro OPO serve de bombeio para o segundo e assim sucessivamente. Este esquema permite a geração de uma rede quântica multicolor escalável. Por fim, descrevemos a construção de um laser de Ti:safira que representa o primeiro passo na integração entre luz não-clássica e física atômica a ser investigada em nosso laboratório. Este laser pode ser utilizado, ao mesmo tempo, como bombeio do OPO e de uma nuvem de átomos. O emaranhamento tripartite gerado no OPO estabeleceria a conexão destes últimos com os feixes convertidos, cujos comprimentos de onda possibilitariam a transmissão direta destes feixes de luz através de fibras óticas comerciais de telecomunicação.

▼ La portée des communications quantiques est limitée à quelques dizaines de km en raison de l’atténuation dans les fibres. Les répéteurs quantiques (relais quantiques synchronisés par des mémoires quantiques photoniques) furent introduits afin d’accroître ces distances. Or, pour le moment, les mémoires les plus performantes fonctionnent à des longueurs d’onde n’appartenant pas à la bande C télécom. Afin de profiter de ces mémoires, l’utilisation d’interfaces quantiques (milieu non linéaire quadratique) fut proposée comme alternative. En ajoutant ainsi par somme de fréquences un photon de pompe de longueur d’onde appropriée au photon télécom portant l’information, on transfère l’information à une longueur d’onde compatible avec les mémoires, et ceci sans dégradation de l’information portée initialement par le photon télécom. Notre but est ainsi de construire un oscillateur paramétrique optique continu simplement résonant (SRO) qui fournira un faisceau à 1648 nm qui sera sommé en fréquence aux photons télécom à 1536 nm pour transférer l’information vers un photon stockable dans une mémoire à base d’atomes alcalins. Pour transférer efficacement l’information, le SRO doit satisfaire quelques critères : une haute finesse spectrale (largeur de raie ~kHz), une forte puissance (~1W) et une longueur d’onde plus grande que celle du photon télécom à convertir. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons le faisceau non-résonant d’un SRO continu. Le premier travail réalisé dans cette thèse a été de faire la démonstration de la possibilité d’avoir un faisceau à la fois intense et pur spectralement en sortie d’un SRO continu. En réutilisant un SRO déjà développé durant nos travaux antérieurs, nous avons pu stabiliser au niveau du kHz la fréquence du faisceau non résonant à 947 nm (onde signal) de ce SRO, tout en émettant une puissance de plus d’un watt. Ensuite, nous avons conçu le SRO dont le faisceau non résonant à 1648 nm (onde complémentaire) a été stabilisé à court terme en-dessous du kHz avec une puissance de l’ordre du watt. Nous avons ensuite étudié la stabilité à long terme de la longueur d’onde du complémentaire à 1648 nm. Nous avons mesuré des dérives de fréquences de l’ordre de 10 MHz/mn. Ces dérives, venant essentiellement de la cavité de référence sur laquelle le SRO est asservi, peuvent être réduites en contrôlant activement la cavité d’une part, et en utilisant des techniques de stabilisation en fréquence robustes, d’autre part.
Long distance quantum communications are limited to few tens of km due to the attenuation of light in telecom fibres. Quantum repeaters (quantum relays synchronized by photonic quantum memories) were introduced in order to increase distances. Or, currently, the most efficient memories do not operate at wavelengths in the telecom C band. In order to take advantage of these memories, the use of quantum interfaces (second order nonlinear medium) was proposed as an alternative. Thus, by adding by sum frequency generation a pump photon at an appropriate wavelength to the telecom photon carrying the…

▼ Short pulse tunable sources in the mid-infrared
optical region have been an indispensible tool of research for
several years. Yet the complexity of these systems limits their
usefulness in many applications. In this study, pulse compression
in a synchronously pumped
optical parametric oscillator (SPOPO) is
investigated as an alternative to these systems. Although pulse
compression has been known for several years, a full understanding
of the process has not been developed. This has inhibited its full
exploitation. In this work, a search of the input parameter space
is conducted in order to illucidate the mechanisms involved in
pulse compression. The experiments conducted correlated compression
to the input energy,
optical parametric oscillator (OPO)
wavelengths, and OPO cavity length detuning. The 10 ps pump pulses
from a pulsed Nd:YAG laser interact in the
parametric oscillator to
generate infrared output pulses as short as 400 fs—a 20 fold
compression. Experiments indicate that the compression varies
directly with the input energy and inversely with the signal-idler
group velocity mismatch (GVM) across the 2.5 – 4.0μm spectral
range. It is also found that the cavity detuning length affected
the dynamics of the nonlinear interaction. To gain physical insight
into the experimental findings, numerical modeling is employed.
Using nominal values for the input parameters, it is found that the
model predicts the compression within about 30% and accurately
predicts the input energy and signal-idler GVM trends. This
agreement is then the basis for employing the model to extract
physical insight into the compression mechanism. The dependence of
compression on the signal-idler GVM is found to be more than an
order of magnitude stronger than the signal-pump GVM usually
thought to be responsible for the pulse compression. The model
further predicts that using a 1 ps pump source should yield pulses
on the order of 50 fs and that strong pulse compression could also
be observed in other mid-infrared nonlinear crystals. Additionally
the model is used to investigate the limits of compression with
respect to increasing input energy and decreasing signal-idler
GVM.

▼ Consider the airfoil: a carefully designed structure capable of stable lift in a uniform air flow. It so happens that air pressure and radiation (light) pressure are similar phenomena because each transfer momentum to flow-disturbing objects. This, then, begs the question: does an
optical analogue to the airfoil exist? Though an exceedingly small effect, scientists harness radiation pressure in a wide gamut of applications from micromanipulation of single biological particles to the propulsion of large spacecrafts called solar sails. We introduce a cambered, refractive rod that is subjected to
optical forces analogous to those seen in aerodynamics, and I call this analogue the
optical wing. Flight characteristics of
optical wings are determined by wing shape and material in a uniform radiation field. Theory predicts the lift force and axial torque are functions of the wing's angle of attack with stable and unstable orientations. These structures can operate as intensity-dependent, parametrically driven oscillators. In two-dimensions, the wings exhibit bistability when analyzed in an accelerating frame. In three-dimensions, the motion of axially symmetric spinning hemispherical wings is analogous to a spinning top. Experiments on semi-buoyant wings in water found semicylindrically shaped, refractive microparticles traversed a laser beam and rotated to an illumination-dependent stable orientation. Preliminary tests aid in the development of a calibrated force measurement experiment to directly evaluate the
optical forces and torque on these samples. A foundational study of the
optical wing, this work contributes to future advancements of flight-by-light.

OPTICAL AND OPTOMECHANICAL RESONATORS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN COMMUNICATION AND SENSING.

▼ The radiation pressure of the large circulating
optical power inside micro-scale high quality factor Whispering-Gallery mode micoresonators couples the mechanical deformation of the resonator structure to the
optical resonance. This coupling results in damping or amplification of the corresponding mechanical modes. Self-sustained mechanical oscillation takes place when the optomechanical gain becomes larger than mechanical loss. In this dissertation, several applications of optomechanical
oscillator (OMO) in communication and sensing are proposed and explored using silica microtoroid resonator. First we investigate the spectrum of the OMO and define weak' and 'strong' harmonic generation regimes based on two distinct spectral behaviors. In weak harmonic regime, an analytical method is proposed to optimize the spectral behavior of an OMO for RF-photonic communication systems. In the strong harmonic regime, we show that OMO spectrum can be used in a read-out system for resonant
optical sensing applications. Next, we explore optomechanical RF mixing and its application in RF-photonics. We study optomechanical RF mixing using coupled differential equations as well as a semi-analytical model that simplifies the calculation of mixed frequency components. Furthermore, optomechanical down-conversion of various waveforms and audio signal from an RF carrier are demonstrated. Here for the first time we show that an OMO can function as a high-resolution mass sensor based on optomechanical oscillation frequency shift. In an OMO based mass sensor,
optical power simultaneously servers as an efficient actuator and a sensitive probe for monitoring optomechanical oscillation frequency variations. The narrow linewidth of optomechanical oscillation and the small effective mass of the corresponding mechanical mode result in sub-pg mass sensitivity. We analyze the performance of microtoroid OMO mass sensor and evaluate its ultimate detection limit. The outcomes of our study enable combination of resonant
optical sensing with optomechanical sensing in a single device. This so-called 'dual-mode' sensing can be a powerful technique for measuring the properties (mass, density and refractive index) of micro/nano-particles and molecules. To boost the
optical sensitivity of the dual-mode sensor, we also demonstrate a dynamic sensing method where the resonant photonic sensitivity is improved by over 50 times through thermally induced line narrowing.

▼ Esta tesis doctoral se ha realizado en el campo de la Óptica No Lineal experimental, dentro de un marco de investigación básica.
El objeto de estudio es la manipulación experimental de estructuras que pueden emerger en la sección transversal de un haz láser bajo determinadas condiciones, y que además están caracterizadas por su fase: como, por ejemplo, vórtices, solitones o dominios de fase. Como elemento activo no lineal que contribuye a la generación de este tipo de estructuras, se utilizan diferentes tipos cristal fotorrefractivos (PRCs) con tiempos de respuesta largos como el BaTiO3 y el SBN o tiempos cortos como el KTLN.
El presente manuscrito está redactado como un compendio de artículos, con un total de cinco publicaciones. Tres de ellas han sido realizadas en la Universitat de València y las otras dos se han llevado a cabo en la Universitá di Roma. El texto ha sido concebido como una estructura que incluye 4 capítulos. En el primer capítulo se encuentra una introducción sobre los conceptos e ideas básicas en los que se han basados los experimentos: la formación de patrones. Además, se explica la teoría y fenomenología que soportan los experimentos y que ayudan a la comprensión de los resultados. En el segundo, se presentan los resúmenes de los trabajos publicados, donde se explica la metodología que se ha usado para desarrollar los experimentos. En el tercer capítulo se encuentran las conclusiones, donde se subrayan los aspectos más novedosos que se han obtenido en este período de formación doctoral. Y, por último, como cuarto capítulo, se adjuntan las publicaciones en las que se basan los experimentos realizados.
El período de formación de doctorado se ha desarrollado en el Department d’Òptica i Optometria i Ciéncies de la Visió, en la Facultat de Física de la Universitat de València (España). Durante este período se han realizado dos estancias breves, dentro del mismo marco experimental que en la Universitat de València. Una estancia se ha realizado en La Universitá degli Studi di Roma, ’La Sapienza’ en Roma (Italia). La segunda estancia fue realizada en el centro de Ingeniería Eléctrica en Princeton (New Jersey, EE.UU.).
Los trabajos realizados en Valencia, se basan en la demostración experimental de la ruptura de simetrías de fase en estructuras no lineales que emergen en un oscilador óptico fotorrefractivo (PRO). Este cambio de simetría se produce por la aplicación de una modulación óptica conocida como Rocking [6, 7]. El objetivo principal de estos trabajos es el cambio del estado del sistema, de invariancia o biestabilidad en fase, a un estado bi- o multi-estable en fase respectivamente. Como se explica en detalle más adelante, esto permite la manipulación de estructuras complejas: unas con invariancia de fase como vórtices y otras que presentan bi-estabilidad o multi-estabilidad en fase, por ejemplo, dominios o paredes de fase.
Los experimentos llevados a cabo en la estancia de investigación en Roma, se basan en la propagación libre a través de cristales fotorrefractivos y en láseres…

▼ L'objet de cette thèse porte sur la conception et la réalisation de deux sources laser non linéaires accordables dans les domaines IR et UV, pour le raccordement de la sensibilité spectrale des détecteurs au moyen du radiomètre cryogénique du laboratoire commun de métrologie (LCM). La source IR est un oscillateur paramétrique optique (OPO) résonant sur les ondes pompe et signal (PRSRO), utilisant un cristal de niobate de lithium à inversion de domaines de polarisation dopé par 5% d'oxyde de magnésium (ppMgCLN). Pompé par un laser Ti:Al2O3 en anneau mono-fréquence et accordable, délivrant 500 mW de puissance utile autour de 795 nm, l'OPO possède un seuil d'oscillation de 110 mW. Une couverture spectrale continue entre 1 µm et 3.5 µm a été obtenue, avec des puissances de l'ordre du mW pour l'onde signal (1 µm à 1.5 µm) et des puissances comprises entre 20 à 50 mW pour l'onde complémentaire couvrant un octave de longueur d'onde IR entre 1.7 µm et 3.5 µm. La source UV est obtenue par doublage de fréquence en cavité externe du laser Ti:Al2O3, dans un cristal de triborate de lithium (LiB3O5). Un accord de phase en température à angle d'accord de phase fixé permet l'obtention d'une couverture spectrale comprise entre 390 nm et 405 nm. L'asservissement de la cavité de doublage sur la fréquence du laser Ti:Al2O3 par la méthode de Pound-Drever-Hall, ainsi qu'une adaptation de mode optimale, permet d'obtenir une puissance de 5.64 mW à 400 nm à partir de 480 mW de puissance fondamentale.
The work presented in this PhD dissertation details the strategy adopted to build two non-linear laser sources that are widely in the mid-infrared and blue-UV spectral ranges. These laser sources are needed for the traceability to SI units of coherent light irradiance measurements using a cryogenic radiometer of the using cryogenic radiometer of the Laboratoire commun de métrologie (LCM) .The infrared laser source is an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) resonating on the pump and signal wavelengths (PRSRO) and employing a periodically poled Lithium Niobate non-linear crystal doped with 5% magnesium oxide (ppMgCLN). The PRSRO is pumped by a single-frequency tunable bow-tie ring cavity Titanium-Sapphire laser (Ti:Al2O3) delivering 500 mW output power at 795 nm wavelength, , resulting in a power oscillation threshold of 110 mW. The PRSRO emission could continuously cover the spectral range from 1 µm to 3.5 µm. The level of output power achieved is of the order of 1 mW for the signal wave (1 µm to 1.5 µm) and between 20 mW and 50 mW for idler wave spanning an octave wavelength range (1.7 µm to 3.5 µm).The UV source based on the second harmonic generation on the Titanium-Sapphire tunable laser using an external enhancement cavity containing a critically phase-matched LBO non linear crystal (LiB3O5). Temperature-tuning of the phase-matching condition at a fixed crystal orientation leads to a wide tunability from 390 nm to 405 nm wavelength. The external cavity optical pathlength was actively locked to the laser frequency using a¨Pound-Drever-Hall…

Solid-state Raman lasers are a convenient technology for shifting the wavelength of conventional lasers to exotic wavelengths with enhanced brightness. Recently, diamond has emerged as an outstanding Raman medium due to its capacity for power handling with demonstrations of very high output powers (hundreds of watts) in the continuous wave regime. To date, these demonstrations have been performed in the near-infrared. However, t here is demand for continuous high brightness output at shorter wavelengths (visible and UV). This thesis aims to address this challenge by intracavity nonlinear frequency mixing.
As nonlinear mixing is a polarization dependent process, the polarization behaviour of the Raman laser is critical to efficient operation. Thus as a first step, this thesis investigates the polarization properties of external cavity diamond Raman lasers including a detailed investigation of anomalous polarization effects that had been previously reported.
In-grown stress-induced birefringence in the diamond is identified as critical to the polarization behaviour. Birefringence was characterized using Mueller polarimetry, a technique that provides a complete description of the Mueller matrix. Surprisingly, substantial circular retardance is observed in some locations of the sample and of sufficient magnitude to induce errors in measurements obtained using more standard polarimetric techniques such as Metripol. The analysis finds that most significant parameter influencing the laser performance is the linear birefringence axis direction. This parameter is found to dictate the threshold for laser operation and the polarization of the Stokes output. These outcomes provide a firm basis for selecting crystals, optimizing the input pump polarization.
The knowledge was used to develop a high power intracavity frequency doubled CW diamond Raman laser operating in Quasi-CW mode. Using an external cavity Raman configuration and 1064 nm pumping, a 620 nm laser of output power 30W and M²<1.1, parameters that are difficult to achieve presently using any other laser technology. The critical design parameters that affects the visible conversion efficiency was evaluated experimentally. Furthermore, a model was developed to predict design parameters for optimum laser performance and power scaling.
The concepts were also adapted to a DRL pumped at 532 nm. First Stokes output in the yellow (573 nm) was demonstrated with 15 W and 22.7% conversion efficiency. A model for the laser is presented to optimize efficiency and further increase power. The results were used to predict the design for…

▼ Spin current is the flow of electron spin angular momentum. It can either be partially spin polarized current generated due to the exchange interactions of spins and local magnetization, or pure spin current generated from spin orbit interaction. Both sources of spin current are under intensive study for their efficient interaction with nanoscale magnetic structures, and potential application of magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM), spin torque nano-oscillators (STNOs) and other innovative devices. In this dissertation, spin Hall effect mediated magnetization dynamics in Platinum/Permalloy nanowires are excited by different means and studied experimentally. This includes stead state self-oscillation of magnetization in a ferromagnetic nanowire serving as the active region of a spin torque oscillator driven by spin orbit torques. Our work demonstrate that magnetization self-oscillations can be excited in a one-dimensional magnetic system and that dimensions of the active region of spin torque oscillators, for the first time, can be extended beyond the nanometer length scale. We also demonstrate that via proper design of the nanowire shape, which results in spatial non-uniform spin current density, we can significantly decrease the phase noise of spin orbit torque oscillators. It also stabilizes the single-mode generation regime, and points out a path for partial control of multi-mode excitation in nanostructures. We also parametrically excite magnetization dynamics in the nanowires, and it demonstrates that nonlinear dynamic magnetic effect can have a larger efficiency than the direct linear excitation in spin Hall structures, and it provides additional information about excited spin wave mode systems owing to its threshold nature that is unavailable from direct excitation.

▼ Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities present a unique opportunity in their potential for extremely large quality factors (Q) which allow for low-loss microwave systems which extend photon lifetimes. They have subsequently been used and improved upon as individual cells of particle accelerators where large accelerating voltages are required. More recently, they have been used as double SRF cavity systems for coupling electromagnetic fields via qubits inserted into the cavity bodies. Capitalizing on this Q enhancement, we propose an SRF cavity system for parametric amplification of these microwave fields from vacuum. This triple SRF cavity consists of a pump cavity with a silicon nitride (SiN) membrane acting as one end-wall and two signal/idler cavities that are separated by an iris plane. Parametric amplification occurs when some parameter of the system varies sinusoidally in time and this subsequently drives the system into oscillation. Here, we vary the length of the cavities by driving the SiN membrane end-wall into motion using the radiation pressure from the pump cavity. Sufficient energy transfer between cavities will allow amplification and subsequent oscillation of the vacuum fields. We will introduce and explain theoretical background, SRF cavity fabrication and testing, SiN membrane mechanics, and lastly double cavity mechanics. We will identify which facets of the project seem feasible at this time.

▼ Photonic sensing technologies offer unexceptionable features for taking high requirement measurement in a harsh environment. They inherit advantages such as fast speed and immunity from electromagnetic interference from optical communications. In addition, with the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies, chip scale optical sensors are capable of providing high sensitivity with an ultra-compact form factor. The motivation is derived from the high demand for sensors in the new era of the Data Age and the great potential of fast response, highly sensitive and ultra-compact photonic sensor. Furthermore, rapid sensor development puts forward a new prospect for many areas such as medical and health measurement, defence technology, and the internet of things. With all the advantages that SOI-based chip scale optical sensors provide, there are still shortcomings can be improving to provided much more capable sensing abilities from many aspects. With that in mind, this thesis will focus on SOI-based optical microring resonator, one of the most popular SOI-based optical structure for sensing purpose; and solutions for two shortcomings of the common SOI-based optical sensor. One of the solutions that will be mentioned in this thesis is intended to solve the issues of limited measurement speed and low resolution that caused by the way of the data analysis in the common SOI-based optical sensing system. The second purposed solutions in this thesis focused on the connection schemes of the SOI-based optical sensor; Common connection schemes of SOI-based optical chip needs at least two optical ports for coupling the light into and out of the silicon photonics chip which limits the ability to perform measurements at remote locations that are hard to be reached. Chapter 4 and 5 of this thesis contains detailed explorations of these shortcomings and solutions. An integrated photonic sensor based on optoelectronic oscillator with an on-chip sensing probe that is capable of realising highly sensitive and high-resolution optical sensing is presented in this thesis as a solution for the first shortcoming. The key component is an integrated SOI-based microring resonator which is used to implement a microwave photonic bandpass filter (MPBF) to effectively suppress the side modes of the optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) by more than 30dB, thus generating a peak RF signal that maps the detected optical change into a resulting shift in the oscillating frequency. As an application example, the proposed optical sensor system is employed to detect small changes in temperature, and experimental results demonstrate a highly sensitive optical temperature sensor with an achieved sensitivity of 7.7 GHz/°C. Moreover, the proposed sensing system revealed a 0.02°C measurement resolution which is a tenfold improvement compared with the modest resolution of 0.23°C seen by the conventional MPBF system without the OEO loop, rendering it highly suitable for diverse high-resolution sensing applications. With the purpose of reducing the size of the SOI-based…

A series of experimental investigations have demonstrated that targeting a mid-infrared Mark-III Free-Electron Laser to wavelengths near 6.45 ƒÝm results in tissue ablation with minimal collateral damage and substantial efficiency useful for human surgery. Thermodynamic reasoning suggests that the minimal collateral damage at this wavelength is due to the differential absorption of protein and water; which causes compromised tissue integrity by laser heating of the non-aqueous components prior to explosive vaporization. These properties are advantageous for surgery because they reduce the structural integrity of the tissue, thus reducing amount of energy needed for ablation. While the FEL, based on these findings, has been used successfully in eight human surgeries to date, it is unlikely that this laser will become broadly used clinically due to its expense and difficult implementation. Recent developments in conventional laser technology have provided access to this wavelength. While the average and peak power of these sources are still not equivalent to the FEL, recent data indicates that ablation studies are feasible. The research described here investigates the role of pulse structure with regards to soft tissue ablation to determine the feasibility of these sources as potential FEL replacements for clinical applications. Relevant parameters including the threshold radiant exposure and ablated crater depth were studied for comparison of the native FEL micropulse with a stretched FEL micropulse and a ZnGeP2 OPO. Brightfield imaging was used to analyze the effect of pulse structure on the dynamics of ablation, while histology on cornea and dermis was performed to study pulse effects on thermal damage. Mass spectrometry was also used to investigate whether non-linear effects are involved with the FEL micropulse in changing the chemical structure of proteins prior to ablation. The results of this analysis show that the micropulse structure of the FEL does not play a role in the efficient ablation of soft tissue with minimal collateral damage that has been shown previously, and alternative sources remain viable alternatives to the FEL.

▼ This dissertation consists of three distinct projects: optical trapping, parametrically-driven oscillator, and physics education research. We trapped trap poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microspheres using radiation pressure forces when the refractive index ratio between the particles and the liquid medium suspending them was nearly one. This contrast resulted in a unique trapping landscape which was verified through our simulations. In the case of our parametrically oscillating pendulum, we modulated a parameter of the system, in this case the length of the pendulum, which gave rise to an instability which gradually increased the total energy of the oscillating pendulum. This system is an upper-level undergraduate laboratory experiment, where students would explore mechanical parametric oscillations and extract key linear pendulum features, such as the damping constant and the quality factor, and nonlinear dynamical features, such as frequency shifts and bistability. In the physics education research, I tested whether students would improve their ability to understand the material in the first semester of general physics (the majority of which are related to forces) if they were constantly required to develop robust solutions with low-stakes assignments. The results presented show that a positive correlation existed between implementing class presentations where students are required to solve problems robustly in groups and with both low and high stakes assignments.
