Horloge atomique Cs à piégeage cohérent de population avec protocole d’interrogation Auto-Balanced Ramsey / Coherent population trapping Cs cell atomic clock with Auto-Balanced Ramsey interrogation protocol

Coget, Grégoire 12 December 2018 (has links)
Cette thèse reporte une horloge atomique à cellule de césium de haute-performance basée sur le phénomène de piégeage cohérent de population (CPT). Cette horloge associe une diode laser DFB (à 895 nm, raie D1 du Cs), un modulateur électro-optique fibré, un modulateur acousto-optique, un système Michelson, une électronique bas bruit contrôlée par une carte FPGA et une cellule à vapeur de césium contenant un mélange de gaz tampon azote-argon. L’horloge exploite un schéma de pompage CPT optimisé nommé push-pull optical pumping (PPOP) permettant la détection de résonances CPT à fort contraste.L’horloge repose sur l’exploitation d’un nouveau protocole d’interrogation pulsé nommé Auto-Balanced Ramsey (ABR). Ce dernier repose sur l’utilisation de deux séquences Ramsey avec des temps noirs de durées différentes. Ce dernier repose sur l’utilisation de deux séquences Ramsey avec des temps noirs de durées différentes. La mise en place de ce protocole ABR-CPT, amélioré par la suite avec symétrisation (SABR-CPT), conduit à une réduction drastique des effets de déplacement lumineux, avec en particulier une diminution de la sensibilité de la fréquence d’horloge aux variations de puissance laser par un facteur 80 comparativement à une interrogation Ramsey-CPT conventionnelle. Cette horloge CPT démontre à ce jour une stabilité relative de fréquence de 2 10-13 τ -1/2, atteignant le niveau record (pour ce type d’horloge) de 2,5 10-15 à 10 000 s. Des travaux annexes de spectroscopie laser en microcellules à vapeur de césium sont aussi reportés dans ce manuscrit. On notera en particulier la démonstration d’un laser stabilisé par spectroscopie sub-Doppler bi-fréquence dans une microcellule Cs avec une stabilité de fréquence préliminaire meilleure que 2 10-12 à 1 s. Ces performances sont 10 fois meilleures que celles de micro-horloges atomiques micro-ondes CPT. / This thesis reports a high-performance Cs vapor cell atomic based on coherent population trapping (CPT). This clock combines a DFB diode laser (895 nm, Cs D1 line), a fibred electro-optical modulator, an acousto-optical modulator, a Michelson system, FPGA-based low noise electronics and a N2-Ar buffer gas filled Cs vapor cell. The clock is based on an optimized CPT pumping scheme, named push-pull optical pumping (PPOP), allowing the detection of high-contrast CPT resonances.The clock uses a novel pulsed interrogation protocol named Auto-Balanced Ramsey (ABR). This method is based on the extraction of two error signals derived from two successive Ramsey sequences with different dark periods. The ABR-CPT protocol, improved further with symmetrization (SABR-CPT), allows a drastic reduction of light-shifts effects, yielding in particular to reduce the sensitivity of the clock frequency to laser power variations by a factor 80, in comparison with a standard Ramsey-CPT interrogation. This clock CPT demonstrates a fractional frequency stability of 2 10-13 τ -1/2, reaching the record level (for this kind of clock) of 2.5 10-15 at 10 000 s. Annex laser spectroscopy studies in Cs microfabricated cells were performed in this thesis. We shall note the preliminary demonstration of a laser frequency-stabilized using dual-frequency sub-Doppler spectroscopy in a Cs microcell, exhibiting a fractional frequency stability better than 2 10-12 at 1 s. These performances are 10 times better than those of microwave CPT-based chip-scale atomic clocks.

Lipid Production by Microalgae Treating Municipal Wastewater

Kelley, James Edward 01 December 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Microalgae hold much promise as a feedstock in liquid biofuel production. Lipid content of microalgae cells range from 30-80% dry weight of biomass. It is projected that microalgae can produce between 1,000-6,500 gallons/acre/year of oil. Currently, production of industrial algae operates in open raceway ponds that use minimal capital and energy inputs to culture algae. Raceway ponds can also be used to grow microalgae from municipal waste streams. Although high biomass productivity can be achieved in these systems, there remains a large production gap between large volumes of biomass cultivation and high lipid content from microalgae cells. Low lipid content has been ameliorated through laboratory manipulations of nitrogen availability and light intensity. This two-part project measured microalgae lipid levels in open raceway ponds located at the San Luis Obispo Water Reclamation Facility (SLO WRF) grown in primary clarifier effluent and then performed nitrogen depletion and light-shift methods on cultures to increase triglyceride (TAG) content. The raceway ponds reached maximum biomass productivity of 24 g/m2-day, but with minimal TAG reserves. Optimization of both biomass productivity and TAG content can be achieved in April and September with 13 g/m2-day productivity and 13% TAG content. Investigation of increased TAG production responses were performed on wastewater microalgae (predominately Scenedesmus sp.) through N-depletion and three light treatments: light-shift on day 3 (before N-depletion), light-shift on day 5 (near N-depletion), and a double-illumination treatment. Highest levels of TAG content were observed in the double-illumination treatment and reached a maximum of 49% TAG in 9 days.
