Alors que la science attoseconde connaît un développement fulgurant, le besoin de nouvelles sources laser adaptées à la génération d'impulsions attosecondes uniques est apparu. Grâce à ses propriétés d'accordabilité en fréquence et d'amplification de spectres ultra-larges à même de supporter des durées d'impulsions ultracourtes, conjuguées à la possibilité de stabiliser passivement la phase sous l'enveloppe (CEP) du champ électrique associé à l'impulsion laser, l'amplification paramétrique (OPA) s'est imposée comme un des outils incontournables pour la réalisation de telles sources.De plus, un intérêt croissant se manifeste pour la montée en cadence des sources d'harmoniques d'ordre élevé (HHG), en tirant parti des avancées des laser à fibre. Récemment fut démontrée la génération d'impulsions ultracourtes à très haute cadence, stabilisées en phase, dans la partie visible du spectre. Décaler la bande d'amplification vers l'infrarouge présenterait des avantages certains du point de vue de la génération d'harmoniques. En effet, travailler avec une source laser infrarouge permet d'étendre le spectre d'harmoniques et donc de réduire la durée des impulsions attosecondes générées. Jusqu'à présent, l'amplification paramétrique large bande dans l'infrarouge à haute cadence était rendue impossible par la difficulté à générer un signal à ces longueurs d'onde directement à partir d'un laser à fibre.Les travaux exposés ici décrivent la réalisation de nouvelles sources paramétriques, spécifiquement conçues en fonction des exigences de la génération d'impulsions attosecondes uniques, aussi bien en régime de forte énergie qu'à des cadences élevées.Nous présentons tout d'abord le développement d'un OPA avec stabilisation passive de la CEP, capable d'amplifier un spectre d'une largeur de 700 nm centré à 1,75 µm et délivrant une énergie de 450 µJ à la cadence de 10 Hz. Puis, nous détaillons une architecture originale d'amplification paramétrique à haute cadence pompé par un laser à fibre, qui nous a permis de générer des impulsions stabilisées en phase d'une durée inférieure à trois cycles optiques à la longueur d'onde centrale de 2,2 µm, avec une énergie de 5 µJ à la cadence de 100 kHz.Enfin, nous explorons la possibilité d'accroître la puissance de sortie des OPA infrarouges large bande à des niveaux de plusieurs dizaines de watts, grâce à la technique de combinaison paramétrique de plusieurs faisceaux de pompe fibrés. / While attosecond science reaches new frontiers in physics, the need for innovative primary sources suited for the generation of single attosecond (as) pulses emerges. Featuring high tunability, ultra-broadband amplification bandwidth and the ability of passively stabilizing the random Carrier-Envelope Phase (CEP) of any pump laser, Optical Parametric Amplification (OPA) has proven to be one of the most effective tools to meet the stringent requirements of High-Order Harmonics (HHG) driving sources.Moreover, there is a growing interest for higher repetition rate HHG sources, pumped by Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. High-repetition rate, CEP-stable, few cycle pulses have been successfully generated by OPAs operating in the visible part of the spectrum. Shifting the amplified bandwidth towards longer wavelengths would be clearly profitable. In fact, the shorter harmonic wavelength cut-off will allow significantly extending the harmonics spectrum and consequently shorten as pulse durations. Until know, generation of CEP-stable, few-cycle pulses in the infrared at ultra-high repetition rates was impossible due to the issue of generating a broadband infrared seed directly from a fiber laser. This thesis describes the implementation of new supercontinuum-seeded parametric sources, specifically designed for isolated attosecond pulses generation with high energy or high repetition rate.The development of a CEP-stable three-stages OPA source is reported, amplifying a 700 nm broad spectrum at a central wavelength of 1,75 µm with an energy of 450 µJ at a 10 Hz repetition rate. Then, a new architecture based on a two-stage cascaded OPA pumped by a home-made fiber laser is presented, which allowed us to generate CEP-stable 3-cycles pulses at the central wavelength of 2,2 µm, with an energy of 5 µJ at 100 kHz. Finally, we discuss the possibility of increasing the output power of parametric amplifiers to several tens of watts with broadband parametric combination of several fiber-pump beams.

[pt] Neste trabalho, desenvolvemos um laser a fibra, monomodo e de cavidades acopladas, cujo meio de ganho é uma Fibra Dopada com Érbio. As duas cavidades, C1 e C2, foram feitas no mesmo pedaço de fibra dopada, com a mesma concentração de Érbio (Er) e mesmo índice de refração. A Fibra Dopada com Érbio usada era também dopada com Germânio (Ge), que aumenta a fotossensitividade da fibra. Portanto, foi possível escrever Redes de Bragg na mesma fibra para serem usadas como os espelhos da cavidade. A configuração do laser consiste em três Redes de Bragg, escritas no mesmo núcleo da fibra, centradas em 1532nm e separadas por 30cm. As reflectividades das Redes de Bragg eram de 95 por cento, 80 por cento e 60 por cento. Com essa configuração simples de cavidades acopladas, conseguimos uma emissão laser estável e monomodo. Será apresentado também um estudo teórico para descrever o sistema. / [en] In this work, we developed a single mode coupled cavity fiber laser, in which the gain medium is an Erbium Doped Fiber. The two cavities, C1 and C2, were made in the same piece of the doped fiber, with the same concentration of Erbium (Er) and the same refraction index. The Erbium Doped Fiber used was codoped with Germanium (Ge), which increases the photosensitivity of the fiber. Therefore, it was possible to write bragg Gratings in the same fiber to be used as the cavity mirrors. The laser configuration consists of three Bragg Gratings, written in the core of the fiber, centered in 1532 nm and separated by 30cm. Ther Bragg Grating reflectivities were 95 per cent, 80 per cent and 60 per cent. With this simple configuration of coupled cavities, a stable, single mode laser emission was achieved. A theoretical study to describe the system will also be presented.

Les travaux de recherche, rapportés dans ce manuscrit, portent sur l’étude d’un laser à fibre en forme de huit et le développement de sources à 1.6 µm. En premier temps, nous avons étudié la dynamique impulsionnelle d’un laser à fibre micro-structurée en forme de huit. L’objectif est de montrer l’impact des propriétés de la fibre micro-structurée sur le comportement impulsionnel du laser. Nous avons également étudié le phénomène d’hystérésis dans cette cavité. Nos résultats numériques ont permis de démontrer l’universalité de ce phénomène dans les cavités lasers. Autrement, il est indépendant de la technique de verrouillage de modes. En second lieu, nous avons développé une source laser émettant à 1.6 µm à partir d’un amplificateur fonctionnant dans la bande C. La méthode que nous avons explorée est basée sur la gestion des pertes linéaires. L’émission, en continu et en verrouillage de modes, a été démontrée dans deux configurations différentes. Enfin et en se basant sur ce concept, nous avons rapporté des sources accordables sur une large fenêtre spectrale. Nous avons également étudié différentes formes des régimes harmoniques autour de 1.6 µm. / During our research, we are interested in studying of the figure of eight fiber laser based on the microstructured optical fiber and developing a 1.61 µm mode locked fiber laser from a C-band double-clad Er : Yb doped fiber amplifier. In the first step and based on a theoretical model, we have investigated the multi-pulse emission of a microstructured figure-of eight fiber laser operating in passive mode-locking. The proposed laser is mode locked by the nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM). We further study the hysteresis dependence and the number of pulses in steady state as a function of both the small signal gain and the nonlinear coefficient of microstructured fiber. Our results demonstrate that the nonlinear coefficient of microstructured fiber plays a key role in the formation of multi-soliton. In the second step and based on the control of the linear losses of the cavity, we demonstrate the possibility to achieve filter less laser emission above 1.6 μm, from a C-band double-clad Er: Yb doped fiber amplifier, using a figure-of-eight geometry and a unidirectional ring cavity. We also reported a widely tunable mode locked fiber laser and harmonic mode locking of twin and third pulse around 1.61 µm.

Materiais compósitos são projetados e fabricados para várias aplicações de alto desempenho, incluindo componentes para os segmentos automobilístico, aeroespacial, aeronáutico, naval, de defesa, de óleo e gás, energia eólica e até equipamentos esportivos. Porém, a união por soldagem de Compósitos de Matriz Metálica de Alumínio (Al-CMM) ainda é um grande obstáculo para a maior disseminação desta classe de materiais estruturais. As mudanças microestruturais decorrentes do ciclo de soldagem e/ou do tratamento térmico afetam sensivelmente as propriedades mecânicas e físico-químicas finais da junta e do metal base nas proximidades de mesma, daí a importância de se estudar a evolução microestrutural que prospera nestas etapas. O presente trabalho caracterizou a microestrutura do compósito liga-A356/SiCp soldado por laser de fibra de Itérbio, empregando-se nessa tarefa técnicas de microscopia óptica, radiografia e microscopia eletrônica de varredura, assim como difração de raios-X e de elétrons retroespalhados, ensaio instrumentado de dureza e microtomografia computadorizada. O foco das análises realizadas restringiu-se à geometria dos cordões de solda, à expulsão de SiC particulado da zona soldada, à volatilização de elementos químicos da poça de soldagem, à formação de precipitados fragilizantes de Al4SiC4 em formato de agulhas no cordão de solda e à determinação das regiões com concentração de poros, todos estes fenômenos tendo efeitos nocivos, em maior ou menor extensão, no desempenho global da junta do Al-CMM soldada a laser, notadamente em suas propriedades mecânicas e eletroquímicas. / Microstructural materials composites are designed and manufactured for various high performance applications, including components for different industries like automobile, aerospace, aeronautical, naval, defense, oil and gas, wind energy and even sports equipment. However, the junction by welding of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite (Al-MMC) is still a major obstacle to the further spread of this class of structural materials. The microstructural changes resulting from the welding cycle and / or post-weld heat treatment significantly affect the final mechanical and physicochemical properties of the joint and the base metal near it, hence the importance of studying the microstructural evolution that thrives in these steps. This study aims to characterize the microstructure of the composite alloy-A356 / SiCp welding by Ytterbium fiber laser, using optical microscopy, X-ray, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron backscatter diffraction, instrumented test hardness and computed microtomography. The focus of the analyzes was restricted to the geometry of the weld bead, the particulate SiC expulsion of the welded zone, volatilization of chemical elements from the welding zone, formation of precipitates embrittlement of Al4SiC4 in needle shape in the weld bead and determining the concentration of regions with pores, all these phenomena have harmful effects to a greater or lesser extent, the overall performance of the joining Al-CMM laser welded, mainly in their mechanical and electrochemical properties.

La fusion sélective par laser est un procédé de la technologie de fabrication rapide de plus en plus utilisé dans l’industrie automobile, aéronautique, médicale, etc. Selon le principe de la fabrication rapide, la pièce est fabriquée couche par couche en fusionnant et soudant les particules fines par laser. Actuellement, les principaux matériaux utilisés sont les métaux métalliques ou les polymères. Le faible ou modeste point de fusion de ces matériaux conduit à une mise en œuvre par laser relativement facile. Cependant, en raison de leur point de fusion élevé, de la forte résistance à haute température et de la faible conductivité thermique, l’utilisation de matériaux céramiques est limitée dans la technologie de fusion laser sélective. Cette étude explore la fusion laser sélective de zircone stabilisée par yttrine avec un laser à fibre de longueur d’onde d’environ 1 µm. L’influence de différentes puissances de laser et de différentes vitesses de balayage sur la microstructure et la déformation de l’échantillon a été étudiée, et la densité relative et la microdureté ont été mesurées. Notamment, l’effet de différentes températures de préchauffage sur la microstructure sera étudié. En même temps, la structure cristalline céramique et la transformation des phases pendant le procédé de prototypage rapide ont été analysées. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent qu’il est possible de fondre complètement de la poudre YSZ avec un laser à fibre NIR, et avec l’optimisation des paramètres de fabrication, la densité relative de l’échantillon peut atteindre 91 %. Il est inévitable de voir se former des fissures et des pores dans les pièces fabriquées du fait de l’hétérogénéité de la distribution de l’énergie du laser. Cette distribution de l’énergie peut être améliorée grâce à l’optimisation des paramètres ; les longueurs de fissure peuvent être contrôlées et maîtrisées par un préchauffage du lit de poudre. Notamment, à haute température (1500°C, 2000°C et 2500°C) de préchauffage, la fissure verticale continue devient désordonnée et courte. Une transformation de la structure monoclinique et cubique en structure tétragonale s’est produite pendant le processus de fabrication. / Selective laser melting is a rapid manufacturing process coming from the rapid prototyping technology, which is widely used in the automotive, aeronautical, medical industry etc. According to the principle of rapid manufacturing, the piece is manufactured layer by layer through the laser sintering or melting the fine powder. Currently, the main powder materials used are metal or polymer materials. The low melting point of these materials facilitates the melting process. However, duo to the high melting point, strong strength at high temperature and low thermal conductivity the application of ceramic materials is limited in the technology of selective laser melting. In this study, selective laser melting of the ceramic yttria stabilized zirconia by a 1μm wavelength fiber laser was explored. The influence of different laser powers and different scanning velocities on the microstructure and the deformation were analyzed, then the micro-hardness and relative density were measured. In particular, the effect of different preheat temperatures on microstructure was investigated. At the same time, the crystal structure and phase transformation during the fabrication were analyzed. Experimental results show that YSZ powder can be completely melted by the near IR fiber laser. With the optimization of the manufacturing parameters, the relative density of sample could reach 91 %. The forming of cracks and pores in the manufactured parts is rarely avoid due to the heterogeneity of distribution of energy. The energy distribution could be improved by optimizing the parameters and the crack lengths can be controlled by preheating the powder bed. In particular, the high temperature (1500 ℃, 2000 ℃ and 2500 ℃) lead the continuous vertical crack becomes messy and short. The transformation of monoclinic and cubic crystal to tetragonal crystal can be observed during the fabrication.

Fiber laser welding (FLW) was used to join advanced high strength steel (AHSS) and high strength steel (HSS); specifically two dual-phase (DP) steels, with ultimate tensile strengths above 980 MPa and with different chemistries (DP980 Rich and DP980 Lean), and a high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel, with an ultimate tensile strength of 450MPa (HSLA450). The welding speed and power were varied to develop a process envelope for minimizing weld concavity. In order to attain welds free of weld concavity a balance of speed and power was required; weld concavity could be reduced by lowering power and increasing speed. Welds with amounts of concavity ranging from 15 % to 35 % were characterized with respect to hardness, tensile and fatigue testing. Tensile results revealed that DP steel was sensitive to weld concavity while HSLA450 was not. At stress amplitudes enduring beyond 1000 cycles, welded specimens exhibited lower fatigue resistance compared to the base metal. Concavity reduced the fatigue life of DP980 steels, where increasing the amount of concavity further reduced the fatigue resistance, while the fatigue resistance of HSLA steel welds was not sensitive to weld concavity. Hardness profiling of the welds revealed that HAZ softening was present in the DP980 steel welds. The amount of HAZ softening was normalized; allowing for comparison of different steels. Welds made by FLW demonstrated reduced softening compared other laser welding types because FLW was capable of welding with lower heat input. A difference in the FZ hardness was observed between the DP980 steels because of the difference in carbon content of the steels; where higher carbon content resulted in higher FZ hardness. Additionally the high cooling rate in FLW created higher fusion zone hardness than the values predicted by Yurioka’s model based on arc welding. Examination of the microstructure revealed that the soft zone of DP980 Lean steel possessed severely tempered martensite and untransformed ferrite while DP980 Rich generated a structure with a mixture of tempered martensite, untransformed ferrite and a small fraction of non-tempered martensite. This difference in HAZ softening was attributed to the alloying content of the DP980 Rich steel the higher alloying content of DP980 Rich steel formed a stable austenite that could exist near the Ac1 temperature and enabled the formation of new martensite in the soft zone. The effects of HAZ softening were apparent in tensile testing where the DP980 Lean steel, which exhibited higher softening, demonstrated by a severe reduction in elongation while the DP980 Rich steel, which had higher resistance to softening, attained elongation comparable to its base metal. HSLA450 exhibited a slight reduction in elongation due to the hardening of the fusion zone. The welded DP980 Rich and HSLA450 steels consistently failed within the base metal, while the DP980 Lean steel failed in the soft zone. The welded DP980 Rich steel also demonstrated limiting dome heights comparable to the base metal while the severe softening in the DP980 Lean led to premature fracture in the soft zone, yielding a larger reduction in the limiting dome height.

[pt] Esta dissertação faz parte de um projeto mais abrangente que visa caracterizar os parâmetros ideais para perfuração e corte a laser em rochas, metais e cimentos tipicamente utilizados na indústria do petróleo. Este trabalho teve por objetivo de caracterizar cortes a laser em placas de aço. Procurou-se correlacionar a morfologia do corte e a formação de rebarbas com parâmetros operacionais, tais como densidade de potência e posição do ponto focal. O estudo foi desenvolvido para o aço SAE 1020 com e sem anteparo rochoso (Travertino). Foram avaliadas também as mudanças na microestrutura de regiões adjacentes do aço duplex 2205 para diferentes faixas de densidade de potência. Finalmente, avaliou-se também o uso do laser no corte do aço inox submerso em água. Conclui-se que existe uma formação de rebarba, que aumenta conforme a densidade de potência diminui. Por outro lado, quanto maior a densidade de potência, maior é a extensão da mudança na microestrutura do aço. O corte de aço com anteparo rochoso abre novas perspectivas para o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta baseada em laser de alta potência para completação de poços na indústria do petróleo. / [en] This work is part of a larger project that aims to characterize the optimal parameters for laser cutting and drilling into rocks, metals and cement typically used in the oil industry. This study had as objective to characterize laser cuts in steel plates. An attempt to establish a correlation between the morphology of the cut and the burrs with operating parameters such as power density and position of the focal point. The study was developed for the SAE 1020 steel with and without rocky bulkhead (Travertine). Also, the changes in the microstructure of adjacent regions of duplex steel in 2205 for different ranges of power density were assessed and finally it was evaluated the use of laser cutting of stainless steel submerged in water. It follows that there is a burr formation, which increases as the power density decreases. On the other hand, the higher the power density, the greater is the extent of change in the steel microstructure. Cutting steel with rocky bulkhead opens new perspectives for the tool development with high power laser for well completion in the oil industry tool.

The fiber effects are presented as well as the mode-locking techniques. Also is presented a study of energy pulse stabilization, frequency and cavity, in addition an overview of stabilization techniques. Using different cavities setups with different accumulated dispersion, we analyzed the stabilization of the pulse. The temperature effects and state of polarization were studied too and we found that the temperature has greater influence on the stability. After the results of passive approach of the stabilization, we studied two methods of active stabilization, using a feedback and proposed a new one that is a new way of controlling the frequency variations in the cavity. By the use the asynchronous mode-locking, through the cavity frequency, we control the modulator frequency. For the implementation of our proposal, there are two approaches to data acquisition, using a frequency counter or a spectrum analyzer, in this work the tests were performed with the first. / Apresentamos neste trabalho um estudo da estabilização do acoplamento de modos de um laser de fibra dopada com Érbio com modos acoplados assíncronamente operando a uma taxa de 10 GHz com pulsos ultracurtos. Os efeitos que ocorrem na fibra são apresentados assim como os métodos de acoplamento de modos que geram o trem de pulsos. Também é apresentado um estudo da estabilização da energia do pulso, freqüência e cavidade, além do histórico dos meios de estabilização. Utilizando diferentes configurações de cavidade, com diferentes dispersões acumuladas, analisamos o tempo de estabilidade do pulso. Os efeitos da temperatura e do estado de polarização também foram estudados e verificamos que a temperatura tem maior influência na instabilidade. Depois dos resultados da abordagem passiva de estabilização do acoplamento de modos, estudamos dois métodos de estabilização ativa, utilizando um feedback e propusemos um novo método de feedback que é uma nova maneira de controlar as variações de freqüência na cavidade. Como utilizamos o acoplamento de modos assíncrono, através da freqüência da cavidade, controlamos a freqüência do modulador. Para a realização da nossa proposta, existem duas abordagens de aquisição de dados, utilizando um freqüencímetro ou um analisador de espectro elétrico, sendo que os testes deste trabalho foram realizados com o primeiro.
