High-resolution interferometric diagnostics for ultrashort pulsesAustin, Dane R. January 2010 (has links)
I present several new methods for the characterisation of ultrashort pulses using interferometry. A generalisation of the concatenation algorithm for spectral shearing interferometry enables interferograms taken at multiple shears to be combined. This improves the precision of the reconstructed phase in the presence of detector noise, and enables the relative phase between disjoint spectral components to be obtained without decreasing the spectral resolution. The algorithm is applied to experimental data from two different implementations of spectral shearing interferometry for ultrashort optical pulses. In one, the shears are acquired sequentially, and in the other they are acquired simultaneously. I develop a form of spatio-temporal ultrashort pulse characterisation which performs both spatial and spectral shearing interferometry simultaneously. It requires a similar geometrical setup to common implementations of spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction, but provides complete amplitude and phase characterisation in time and one spatial dimension. I develop the theory of lateral shearing interferometry for spectrally resolved wavefront sensing of extended ultraviolet and soft x-ray pulses generated using high-harmonic generation. A comprehensive set of wavefront measurements of harmonics 13-25 in Krypton show good agreement with theory, validating the technique. I propose and numerically demonstrate quantum-path interferometry mediated by a weak control field for high harmonic generation. This is a general technique for measuring the amplitude and relative phases of each contributing quantum path. The control field perturbatively modulates the phase of each path. The differing sensitivity of each path to the parameters of the control field allows their contributions to be distinguished from one another.

Caractérisation spatio-temporelle d’impulsions laser de haute puissance / Spatiotemporal characterization of ultra-intense laser pulsesPariente, Gustave 05 January 2017 (has links)
Les lasers de haute puissance permettent d'atteindre des intensités très importantes (jusqu'à 10²²W.cm⁻²). Parvenir à ce niveau d'intensité nécessite de concentrer une quantité modérée d'énergie (de l'ordre du joule) dans un temps très court (de l'ordre de la dizaine de femtosecondes) sur une surface réduite (de l'ordre du μm²). Ces faisceaux sont donc ultra-courts et focalisés à l'aide d'une optique à grande ouverture. Ces caractéristiques signifient que leur diamètre avant focalisation est grand et leur largeur spectrale est importante. Pour cette raison, ces faisceaux sont à même de présenter des distorsions spatio-spectrales (ou couplages spatio-temporels). Après focalisation, ces distorsions ont pour effet une diminution drastique de l'intensité pic. Ceci est d'autant plus vrai que le système laser est puissant et donc que son diamètre et sa largeur spectrale sont grands. En dépit de cet effet néfaste, les couplages spatio-temporels présentent aussi un intérêt lorsqu'ils sont maitrisés. On peut en effet introduire des couplages spatio-temporels de faible amplitude à des fins expérimentales. Dans les années 1990 et 2000, un effort important a été fourni pour permettre la caractérisation et l'optimisation du profil temporel des lasers femtoseconde. Dans le même temps, des solutions d'optique adaptative ont été développées pour contrôler le profil spatial des faisceaux ultra-intenses et obtenir la meilleure tache focale possible. Les systèmes laser de haute-puissance actuels sont maintenant caractérisés et optimisés indépendamment par ces deux types de diagnostics. Par essence, cette approche est aveugle aux couplages spatio-temporels. Seule une caractérisation spatio-temporelle permettrait de mesurer ces distorsions. Il existait déjà des méthodes de caractérisation spatio-temporelle avant le début de cette thèse. Aucun de ces dispositifs n'avait cependant été adapté à la mesure de faisceaux ultra-intenses. Lors de cette thèse, nous avons développé une nouvelle technique de caractérisation spatio-temporelle appelée TERMITES. Cette technique est basée sur un schéma de spectroscopie par transformée de Fourier auto-référencée. TERMITES nous a permis d'effectuer la première caractérisation spatio-temporelle totale d'un laser 100 TW (le laser UHI-100 du CEA Saclay). Les distorsions spatio-temporelles détectées à l'aide de ces mesures ont confirmé la nécessité d'une généralisation de la métrologie spatio-temporelle des lasers de haute puissance. / High power laser make it possible to reach very high intensities (up to 10²²W.cm⁻²). In order to get to this level of intensity, a moderate quantity of energy (on the order of the Joule) is concentrated in a very short time (on the order of tens of femtoseconds) onto a small surface (on the order of 1 μm²). These beams are therefore ultra-short and focused with a high aperture optic. These features mean that their diameter prior to focus is large and their spectral width is big. As a result, these beams are subject to spatio-spectral distorsions (of spatio-temporal couplings). After focus, these distorsions induce a dramatic reduction of the peak intensity. This situation is all the more true when the laser is more intense and its diameter and spectral width are therefore bigger. Despite their detrimental effects, spatio-temporal couplings can be of great interest when controlled. One can indeed introduce weak spatio-temporal couplings for experimental purposes. In the 1990s and 2000s, a big effort was put in order to characterize dans optimize the temporal profile of femtosecond lasers. Meanwhile, adaptative optics solutions were developed to control the spatial profil of ultra intense laser beams and provide the best focal spot achievable. By nature, this approach is blind to spatio-temporal couplings. Measuring these distorsions requires a spatio-temporal characterization. Before the start of this Phd thesis, spatio-temporal characterization methods already existed. Although none of these devices were ever adapted to the measurement of ultra-intense laser beams. During this Phd Thesis, we developped a new spatio-temporal characterization technique which we called TERMITES. This technique is based on a self-referenced Fourier transform spectroscopy scheme. TERMITES made it possible for us to perform the first total spatio-temporal characterization of a 100 TW laser (UHI-100 at CEA Saclay, France). The detection of spatio-temporal distorsions with the help of these measurements confirmed the need for a generalization of spatio-temporal characterization of ultra-high power lasers.
