Tal característica faz com que os sensores ópticos sejam altamente vantajosos para as aplicações nos sistemas de sensoreamento utilizados pelas empresas de energia elétrica. Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de um protótipo de baixo custo de um sensor óptico de alta tensão com alta confiabilidade, que pode ser usado para monitorar o estado ou limiares de tensão em uma rede elétrica. Uma técnica de detecção do sinal através do sensoreamento com grades de Bragg é apresentada, fabricada e avaliada. Os resultados mostram que a técnica de detecção empregada, onde a amplitude ac do sinal da luz refletido é medida em um fotodiodo, mostra-se adequada para a aplicação em sensores de alta tensão. As medidas realizadas em um protótipo de sensor de alta tensão com fibra óptica com grade de Bragg indicam que o esquema de detecção desenvolvido é promissor, e pode ser usado para medir outros sinais dinâmicos que respondam a um esforço de pequena amplitude aplicado à fibra óptica. O protótipo desenvolvido permitiu a detecção de tensões variando na faixa de 143 V -60kY. É também apresentada uma nova técnica para estabilizar termicamente grades de Bragg com a temperatura, utilizando o sinal uma fibra extra, casada com a fibra do sensor, que através de um circuito de realimentação atua no elemento aquecedor/resfriador do laser semicondutor(thenno electrical cooler), para fazer com que o comprimento de onda do laser siga as variações da sintonia da grade de Bragg sensora, causadas por variações da temperatura. Esta técnica inovadora poderá ser utilizada para a compensação térmica de outros tipos de sensores com grade de Bragg, permitindo a fabricação de sensores de baixo custo e grande simplicidade de implementação / Abstract: Fiber optics sensors are specially indicated to operate in noisy electrical environments because they are immune to the effects of electromagnetic interference (EM!) found in these environrnents. Such characteristic makes these sensors highly advantageous to the applications in the measurement systems used by electrical energy companies. This work presents the development of a prototype of a high-voltage and a low cost optical sensor which is used to monitor the state or voltage threshold with a high reliability. A technique for the detection of fiber Bragg grating sensors signals was developed, presented and tested. The experimental results showed that the developed detection technique, where the ac amplitude of the signal result from the light reflection is measured with a photodiode is adequate for high voltage sensing applications. The prototype of the high voltage fiber Bragg sensor was tested and the measured results indicate that the technique can be used to detect any other dynarnic measurand which induces a small strain amplitude when applied to the fiber Bragg grating. The developed prototype detected voltages in the range from 143 V to 60 kV. It is also presented a new technique for obtaining temperature independent fiber Bragg gratings, using a feedback circuit which uses the signal detected from a matched fiber and generates a signal which actuates on the thermo electrical cooler of the semiconductor laser, modifying the laser' s output wavelength, in orer to accurate track the Bragg wavelength shifts caused by temperature variations. This novel technique can be used for the fabrication of simple and low-cost temperature compensated fiber Bragg grating sensors / Doutorado / Eletrônica, Microeletrônica e Optoeletrônica / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

A grandeza da brusca transição entre a perda baixa em comprimentos de onda curtos e a perda alta em comprimentos de onda longos excede 200 dB/km e é extremamente sensível à curvatura aplicada na fibra. O fenômeno é atribuído ao acoplamento modal entre o modo guiado no núcleo e os modos discretos guiados na casca externa. A fibra óptica ativa de casca rebaixada Er: Al/Ge/SiO2 (DC-EDF) pode ser projetada para ter um corte do modo fundamental próximo de 1530 nm o que proporciona supressão distribuída da emissão espontânea amplificada (ASE) na banda-C em proveito da ASE na banda-S. Este fenômeno, associado a um outro, o de perda induzida por curvatura, proporciona um modelo alternativo para obter amplificação óptica na banda-S, exigida para expandir a capacidade de sistemas de multiplexação por divisão de comprimentos de onda (WDM). Um laser à fibra óptica, configurado na forma de anel, de fibra óptica de casca rebaixada dopada com érbio, que pode ser sintonizado através de perdas induzidas por curvatura na fibra óptica, ou pelo uso de um filtro óptico sintonizável, também pode ser projetado. Devido às características de amplificação e "lasing" desenvolvidas para aplicação na banda-S, baseadas em propriedades únicas, a fibra DC-EDF foi base dos sistemas de sensores desenvolvidos neste trabalho. De fato, os sistemas de sensores propostos mostraram alta sensibilidade, larga faixa dinâmica, e ampla largura de banda, e podem ser usados para monitorar parâmetros estáticos, tais como força, pressão, deslocamentos e parâmetros dinâmicos usados em acústica e vibrações. Dois tipos de sistemas de sensores, com diferentes modelos, foram estudados: um sensor-amplificador e um sensor-laser. Os desempenhos desses sistemas de sensores na banda-S (1490 e 1510 nm) foram estudados e analisados nas condições estática e dinâmica / Abstract: Depressed-cladding (often referred to as dual-clad or "W"- fiber) fibers with fundamental-mode cutoffs provide high distributed losses at long wavelengths and low losses at short wavelengths. The magnitude of the abrupt transition between low-loss at short wavelengths and high-loss at long wavelengths exceeds 200 dB/km and is found to be extremely sensitive to fiber curvature. The phenomenon is attributed to mode coupling between the core-guided mode and the discrete modes guided in the outer cladding. The active depressed-cladding Er: Al/Ge/SiO2 fiber (DC ? EDF) may be designed to have a fundamental mode cutoff near 1530 nm and provides distributed suppression of C-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) to the advantage of that in the S-band. This phenomenon, associated with the mechanism of induced bending loss, provides an alternative approach to obtain amplification in S-band, required to expand the capacity of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems. A S-band depressed-cladding erbium-doped fiber ring laser which can be tuned through the active fiber bending losses or by using an optical tunable filter, can be designed as well. Due to the amplification and lasing characteristics developed for S-band, based on unique properties, the DC - EDF was the basis of the optical sensing systems developed in this work. In fact, the sensing systems proposed showed high sensitivity, high dynamic range and wide bandwidth, and can be used to monitor static parameters, such as force, pressure, displacement and dynamic parameters used in acoustics and vibrations. Two types of sensing systems, with different approaches, have been studied: an amplifier-sensor and a laser-sensor. The performances of these sensing systems in S-band (1490 and 1510 nm) were studied and analyzed in static and dynamic conditions / Doutorado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica

La microscopie multiphotonique est un outil essentiel d’investigation en biologie cellulaire et tissulaire. Son extension à l’endoscopie est l’objet d’intenses efforts de recherche pour des applications en neurosciences (imagerie cérébrale du petit animal) ou en clinique (diagnostic précoce, aide à la biopsie). Ce manuscrit porte sur le développement d’un endomicroscope multiphotonique présentant des performances inédites. Ce dispositif est alimenté par un oscillateur titane-saphir standard. Vient ensuite un module de pré-compensation des distorsions linéaires et non linéaires se produisant dans la fibre endoscopique. Ce module permet d’obtenir des impulsions compressées de 39 fs à la sortie d’une fibre microstructurée air-silice innovante à double gaine de 5 mètres de long qui est optimisée pour l’excitation multiphotonique (cœur central de 3,4 µm à maintien de polarisation) et la collection du signal produit par les cibles biologiques. A l’extrémité de la fibre, on trouve une sonde endoscopique, de 2,2 mm de diamètre pour 37 mm de long, composée d’un micro-scanner à fibre optique et d’un micro-objectif achromatique de distance de travail supérieure à 400 µm. La résolution spatiale de l’appareil vaut 0,83 µm et l’acquisition se fait en simultané sur deux canaux spectraux à 8 images/s. L’appareil a permis l’enregistrement d’images in vivo sans marquage des tubules et de la capsule rénale, respectivement par fluorescence à deux photons des flavines et par génération de second harmonique du collagène, avec 30 mW sur les tissus et jusqu’à 300 µm sous la surface de l’organe. / Multiphoton microscopy is an essential investigative tool in cell and tissue biology. Its extension to endoscopy is the subject of intensive research for applications in neuroscience (brain imaging of small animals) or clinical (early diagnosis, help for biopsy). This manuscript focuses on the development of an endomicroscope with multiphoton unprecedented performance. This device is powered by a standard titanium-sapphire oscillator. Then comes a pre-compensation module of linear and nonlinear distortions occurring in the endoscopic fiber. This module provides compressed pulses of 39 fs at the direct output of 5 meters long innovative double-clad air-silica microstructured fiber which is optimized for multiphoton excitation (polarization maintaining central core of 3.4 µm) and the collection of the signal produced by biological targets. At the end of the fiber, there is an endoscopic probe, 2.2 mm in diameter and 37 mm long, composed of a micro fiber scanning system and an achromatic micro-objective with a working distance greater than 400 µm. The spatial resolution of the device is 0.83 µm and the acquisition is done simultaneously on two spectral channels at 8 frames/s. The device has recorded in vivo images without label of the tubules and the renal capsule, respectively by two-photon excitation fluorescence of flavins and second harmonic generation of collagen, with 30 mW on the tissues and 300 µm below the surface of the organ.

La présente étude concerne le domaine des systèmes de transmission par fibres optiques et plus particulièrement l’impact des différentes techniques de filtrage (optiques) sur les performances des systèmes de transmission optiques (métro, accès). En réception, ces systèmes présentent un filtre étroit, qui permet de filtrer le signal sans avoir à traiter le bruit dans la liaison. On considère généralement que l'étroitesse du filtre de réception est indispensable au bon fonctionnement d'une liaison sans répéteurs, et que la sensibilité de la liaison est d'autant plus grande que la largeur du filtre est proche de la limite théorique que constitue la largeur du spectre du signal émis. L'utilisation de tels filtres présente des contraintes. D'une part, les filtres présentent des pentes raides, et sont coûteux. D'autre part, un décalage de la longueur d'onde de l'émetteur est toujours possible, de sorte que la plupart des récepteurs comprennent des filtres de réception dont la longueur d'onde est asservie sur la longueur d'onde de l'émetteur. Pour un système de transmission à multiplexage en longueurs d'onde WDM, dans lequel plusieurs longueurs d'ondes distinctes peuvent être utilisées, ceci permet d’augmenter la capacité d’information transmise, mais pose cependant de réelles contraintes telle que la diaphonie entre voies. Les canaux sont multiplexés dans la même fibre puis filtrés à la réception par un filtre optique qui sert à la fois au démultiplexage des canaux et à un éventuel filtrage optique dans le spectre du canal étudié. Le filtre optique aura des paramètres variables : forme, bande passante, et longueur d’onde centrale, ensuite le canal ainsi filtré sera analysé par le récepteur. Ce dernier comprend une photodiode suivie d’un filtre électrique de la forme de la fonction de filtrage de type de Bessel d’ordre 5. La qualité de l’information sera évaluée, par le taux d’erreur binaire TEB. Dans ce travail de thèse nous proposons une analyse de l’impact des paramètres fondamentaux des filtres sur les performances d’une liaison par la simulation système. / This study relates to the field of optical transmission systems fibers and more particularly the impact of different filtering techniques (optical) on the performance of optical transmission systems (metro access). Reception, these systems have a narrow filter, which filters the signal without having to deal with the noise in the link. It is generally considered that the narrowness of the receiving filter is indispensable for the proper functioning of a link without repeaters, and the sensitivity of the link is even greater than the width of the filter is close to the theoretical limit that is the spectrum width of the transmitted signal. The use of such filters has constraints. Firstly, the filters have steep slopes, and are expensive. On the other hand, a shift of the wavelength of the emitter length is always possible, so that most of the receivers comprise receiving filters whose wavelength is locked to the wavelength of the transmitter. For a transmission system with wavelength multiplexing, wherein plural different wavelengths may be used, this allows to increase the capacity of information transmitted, but however poses real constraints such that crosstalk between channels. The channels are multiplexed in the same fiber and filtered upon receipt by an optical filter which is used both in the channels and demultiplexing a possible optical filter in the spectrum of the considered channel. The optical filter has variable parameters: shape, bandwidth, and center wavelength, then the channel will be filtered and analyzed by the receiver. It includes a photodiode followed by an electrical filter of the form of the filter function of order Bessel type 5. Quality information will be evaluated by the bit error rate BER.In this thesis we propose to analyze the impact of the fundamental parameters of the filters on the performance of an optical system.

Ce mémoire présente les travaux effectués sur le développement d'une source optique servant à des applications d'imagerie biomédicale en général et de diffusion Raman cohérente en particulier. En effet la diffusion de ces dernières est freinée par le verrou technologique que constitue la nécessité de deux impulsions synchronisées et décalées en longueur d’onde. La praticité et les possibilités de conversions de fréquences offertes par l’optique non-linéaire fibrée sont ainsi utilisées pour adresser ce verrou technologique. Tout d’abord, une source simplement réglable en longueur d’onde est générée par l’effet d’auto-décalage en fréquence optique d'un soliton par effet Raman. Une étude des principaux paramètres de fibre aboutit à des décalages de 320 à plus de 500 nm, permettant une imagerie des résonances d’intérêt (≈ 1000-4000 cm-1). Deux applications de ce décalage sont présentées. Ensuite, l’autre impulsion voit sa largeur spectrale réduite de 70 à 10 cm-1 par compression spectrale, qui consiste en un "regroupement non-linéaire de fréquences sans pertes", afin de bénéficier de la résolution spectrale nécessaire. Enfin, la source développée est validée par l’acquisition de spectres CARS de différents échantillons de référence, pour différentes résonances (850 à 1750 cm-1). Une extension de la source à d'autres types d'imagerie est proposée, ainsi qu'une architecture de source quasiment entièrement fibrée exploitant les principes développés au cours de cette thèse / This manuscript presents the work done concerning the development of a light source used for biomedical imaging and more particularly for coherent Raman scattering imaging. In fact an efficient broadcasting of these ones is hampered by the need of two synchronized and wavelength shifted pulses. As so, the handiness and frequency conversion capabilities of nonlinear fiber optics are used to circumvent this technological lock. First of all, an easy wavelength tunable source is set by the use of the self-shifting in optical frequency of a soliton. A study of the main fiber parameters lead to shifts of 320 to more than 500 nm which allows interesting molecular resonances imaging (≈ 1000-4000 cm-1). Two applications of this shift are also reported. Then, the second pulse sees its spectral width reduced from 70 to 10 cm-1 by spectral compression, which consists in a "loss-less frequency regrouping", in order to obtain a proper spectral resolution. Finally, the developed source is validated by acquiring CARS spectra of different reference solvents and for different resonances (850 to 1750 cm-1). An evolution of this source to allow other imaging techniques is proposed, as well as a quasi-all-fibered source exploiting the principles addressed during this thesis work

Significant technological advances of the last years have been possible by developments in Optofluidics, which is a field that deals with the integration of optics and microfluidics into single devices. The work described in this thesis is based on five scientific publications related to the use of fiber optic technology to build integrated optofluidic devices. The first three publications are within the field of life-science and point towards in-vivo and point-of-care applications, whereas the last two publications cover the study and the use of plasmonic nanoparticles for electrical modulation of light. Aiming at developing useful tools for in-vivo biological applications, the first publication consists of designing and testing a functional optical fiber for real-time monitoring and selective collection of fluorescent microparticles. This probe relies on a microstructured optical fiber with a hole along its cladding, which is used to selectively aspirate individual particles of interest once their fluorescence signal is detected. On the same line of research, the second publication contemplates the fabrication of a fiber probe that traps single microparticles and allows for remote detection of their optical properties. This probe is also based on a microstructured fiber that enables particle trapping by fluidic forces. The third publication addresses the development of an all-fiber miniaturized flow cytometer for point-of-care applications. This system can analyze, with excellent accuracy and sensitivity, up to 2500 cells per second by measuring their fluorescence and scattering signal. A novel microfluidic technique, called Elasto-inertial microfluidics, is employed for aligning the cells into a single-stream to optimize detection and throughput. The fourth publication involves the experimental and theoretical study of the electrical-induced alignment of plasmonic gold nanorods in suspension and its applicability to control light transmission. This study is done by using an all-fiber optofluidic device, based on a liquid-core fiber, which facilitates the interaction of light, electric fields, and liquid suspensions. Results show that nanorods can be aligned in microseconds, providing a much better performance than liquid-crystal devices. Finally, the fifth publication consists of an upgrade of the previous device by integrating four electrodes in the cladding of the liquid-core fiber. This improvement enables nanosecond response time and the possibility of digitally switching nanorods between two orthogonal aligned states, overcoming the limitation of slow thermal relaxation. The work presented here shows that optofluidics based on optical fibers is a robust and convenient platform, as well as a promising direction for the developing of novel instruments in fields such as life-science, non-linear optics, plasmonic, and sensing. / <p>QC 20171018</p>

Cette thèse présente des travaux portant sur l'instabilité modulationnelle (IM) dans des fibres optiques dotées à la fois d'une forte non linéarité et d'un fort coefficient d'absorption. Une analyse comparative des performances de plusieurs grandes classes de fibres (de verres silice et non silice) sur leur aptitude à générer des bandes latérales d'IM avec un minimum de puissance de pompe, et sur la plus courte distance possible, est effectuée. Les fibres de verres non silice de type Chalcogénure ou Tellure apparaissent à première vue comme étant les plus performantes, mais un examen attentif révèle que leurs spectres sont altérés par un phénomène de dérive en fréquence des bandes latérales d'IM, qui est provoquée par une forte absorption du laser de pompe. Nous développons alors une méthode qui permet de supprimer la dérive en fréquence des bandes latérales d'IM dans les fibres à fort coefficient d'absorption. Cette méthode, que nous avons baptisé "méthode du réservoir de photons", consiste à créer au sein de la fibre, par un ajustement approprié des paramètres de dispersion d'ordre deux et quatre, un réservoir de photons qui alimente in situ le processus d'IM en lui fournissant continuellement l'équivalent de la quantité de photons détruits par l'absorption matérielle au cours de la propagation. L'efficacité de la méthode du réservoir de photons est démontrée sur des processus d'IM aussi bien en configuration scalaire que vectorielle. Cette démonstration marque un progrès décisif vers des dispositifs de génération de fréquences optiques qui seront extrêmement précis et stables. / This thesis considers modulational instability (MI) in optical fibers that have both a strong non-linearity and strong absorption coefficient. We carry out a comparative analysis of the performance of several major classes of silica- and non-silica glass fibers, on their ability to generate MI sidebands with a minimum of pump power, and over the shortest distance possible. Chalcogenide glass fibers appear at first sight as being the most competitive, but a careful examination reveals that their spectra are altered by a phenomenon of frequency drift of the MI sidebands, caused by a strong depletion of the pump. We have then developed a method which allows to suppress frequency drifts in MI processes in fibers having strong absorption parameters. The fundamental idea of this method, that we called "the photon reservoir method", is to create in the fiber, by an appropriate adjustment of the second-order and fourthorder dispersion coefficients, a photon reservoir which supplies (in situ) the MI process by continually providing the equivalent of the amount of photons destroyed by absorption during the propagation. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of the method of photon reservoir on MI processes, in scalarand vector configurations, using glass fibers endowed with extremely high nonlinear parameters. This method constitutes a decisive step forward in the development of highly competitive devices for optical frequency generation.

A implantação de redes de fibra óptica tornou-se uma realidade dos centros urbanos bem como nas áreas rurais. Com a expansão dessas redes observa-se o surgimento e a necessidade de normatização das redes ópticas passivas. Entre essas redes passivas destaca-se a EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) e a GPON (Gigabit-Capable Passive Optical Network). Com a expansão de redes de banda larga e de novos serviços ligados a ela, torna-se necessário a realização de estudos detalhados sobre a viabilidade técnica econômica e de aplicabilidade dessas redes. É por isso que desenvolvemos nesse trabalho um modelamento econômico financeiro sobre essas novas tecnologias. Esse modelamento permite escolher a tecnologia economicamente mais viável na implantação de projetos envolvendo as tecnologias GPON e/ou EPON. Esse projeto é baseado em um estudo de caso para um município do interior de São Paulo, Brasil.
