Structure, nonlinear properties, and photosensitivity of (GeSe2)​100-​x(Sb2Se3)​x glasses

International audienceChalcogenide glasses from (GeSe2)​100-​x(Sb2Se3)​x system were synthesized, with x varying from 5 to 70, in order to evaluate the influence of antimony selenide addn. on nonlinear optical properties and photosensitivity. Nonlinear refractive index and two photon absorption coeffs. were measured both at 1064 nm in picosecond regime using the Z-​scan technique and at 1.55 μm in femtosecond regime using an original method based on direct anal. of beam profile change while propagating in the chalcogenide glasses. The study of their photosensitivity at 1.55 μm revealed highly glass compn. dependent behavior and quasi-​photostable compns. have been identified in femtosecond regime. To better understand these characteristics, the evolution of the glass transition temp., d. and structure with the chem. compn. were detd

Caractérisation de la rétrodiffusion Brillouin dans une fibre optique chalcogénure AS42S58 microstructurée

International audienceDans ce document, nous présentons les résultats de caractérisation de la rétrodiffusion Brillouin dans une fibre optique microstructurée (FOM) en verre de chalcogénure As 42 S 58 . Les résultats obtenus montrent que cette fibre optique serait appropriée pour des applications en optique non-linéaire basées sur l'effet Brillouin.
