Une compréhension fine des interactions de la lumière avec des matériaux structurés à l'échelle de la longueur d'onde est nécessaire pour parvenir à contrôler les photons (émission, propagation et détection) dans de petits volumes de l'ordre de quelques lambda cube. Les applications de ce contrôle couvrent des domaines très variés, allant des interconnexions optiques à la réalisation d'expériences d'électrodynamique quantique à l'état solide. Au cours de cette thèse, nous avons étudié les interactions de la lumière avec des structures à base de cristaux photoniques bidimensionnels gravés dans un empilement de couches minces, structures qui peuvent être utilisées aussi bien en optique guidée qu'en optique en espace libre. Pour cela, des outils de simulation numérique tridimensionnelle performants ont été développés. <br />Tout d'abord, nous avons réalisé une étude théorique et numérique de la propagation de la lumière dans des guides à cristaux photoniques. Nous nous sommes intéressés à un système modèle, le guide à une rangée manquante, ainsi qu'à trois quantités physiques essentielles, l'atténuation, la durée de vie et le coefficient de réflexion du mode fondamental.<br />Nous avons également étudié le confinement de la lumière dans des microcavités à cristaux photoniques. Nous avons en particulier montré que, même à l'échelle de la longueur d'onde, la physique du confinement est essentiellement gouvernée par des quantités classiques : les pertes radiatives à l'interface des miroirs et la vitesse de groupe du mode de Bloch guidé à l'intérieur de la cavité.<br />Finalement, nous avons étudié une application des cristaux photoniques à l'optique diffractive en espace libre. Leurs propriétés de dispersion structurale originales nous ont permis de concevoir des optiques diffractives qui restent efficaces sur une large bande spectrale.

The FPD consists of momentum spectrometers placed in the beam pipe in both sides of DØ experiment. It was built to tag protons and/or antiprotons produced in diffractive events as a result of the collisions at the center of DØ. In order to estimate the response of our simulation we used events at = 2 TeV generated with PHOJET.

Os eventos usados para obter a seção de choque difrativa foram selecionados para processos de difração simples com um próton espalhado na região frontal e na região cinemática de 0,03 <|t| < 1,0 GeV e 0,03 < &#958; < 0.1, usando os dados em comum obtidos em 2012 dos detectores CMS e TOTEM, o qual permite ter uma perspectiva mais detalhada do processo difrativo, devido à aceitação completa que oferece a combinação dos detectores. Os dados foram corrigidos devido à aceitação e eficiência do detector. A partir de uma parametrização exponencial da forma Ae ^Bt, o valor da inclinação do processo em que o próton espalhado é detectado em ambas as direções positiva da CMS é de B= -6,403 1,241 GeV- . / The goal of the analysis presented in this dissertation is the measurement of the diffractive cross section d&#963;/d|t| at center of mass energy of &#8730;s = 8 TeV. The events were selected for single diffractive processes with one scattering proton in the forward region and the kinematic region of 0,03 <|t| < 1,0 GeV e 0,03 < &#958; < 0.1, using the data collected during 2012 by both the CMS and TOTEM detectors, whose joint acceptance allows a more detailed perspective of the diffractive processes. The data were corrected for the effects of detector acceptance and efficiency. Since the exponential parametrization Ae ^Bt was fit to data, the value obtained for the slope for a precess when the scattering proton is detected in both positive or negative regions of CMS is of B= -6,403 1,241 GeV- .

Dois tipos diferentes de hologramas (Fresnel e Fourier) foram gerados por computador. O holograma de Fresnel foi escolhido para fazer parte de um arranjo experimental que teve como objetivo estimar a rugosidade de amostras metálicas. Para isso, um novo método de aplicação de um correlator óptico foi desenvolvido. Hologramas de Fourier geralmente fazem parte do correlator óptico de VanderLugt, o qual é muito utilizado no reconhecimento de padrões. A reconstrução numérica de hologramas de Fresnel gerados por computador, "distorcidos" por superfícies metálicas (também simuladas), serviram de base para que a reconstrução óptica de um holograma de Fresnel fosse utilizada, de forma inédita, no reconhecimento de padrões para estimar a rugosidade de amostras metálicas. / Two different types of holograms (Fresnel and Fourier) have been computer-generated. The Fresnel hologram has been chosen as part of an experimental set, which meant to estimate the roughness of the metalic samples. A new method for the aplication of an optical correlator has been developed. Fourier holograms are, generally, part of the VanderLugt optical correlator, that is very used for pattern recognition. The numerical reconstruction of the computer-generated Fresnel holograms, "distorted" by metalic surfaces (simulated as well), worked as the base for the utilization, in an original way, of the optical reconstruction of a Fresnel hologram, at the pattern recognition to estimate the roughness of the metalic samples.

In a near future, the computation power will be widely used in endoscopy rooms. It will enable the augmented reality already implemented in some surgery. Before reaching this, a preliminary step is the development of a 3D reconstruction endoscope. In addition to that, endoscopists suffer from a lack of quantitative data to evaluate dimensions and distances, notably for the polyp size measurement.<p>In this thesis, a contribution to more a robust 3D reconstruction endoscopic device is proposed. Structured light technique is used and implemented using a diffractive optical element. Two patterns are developed and compared: the first is based on the spatial-neighbourhood coding strategy, the second on the direct-coding strategy. The latter is implemented on a diffractive optical element and used in an endoscopic 3D reconstruction device. It is tested in several conditions and shows excellent quantitative results but the robustness against bad visual conditions (occlusions, liquids, specular reflection,) must be improved. <p>Based on this technology, an endoscopic ruler is developed. It is dedicated to answer endoscopists lack of measurement system. The pattern is simplified to a single line to be more robust. Quantitative data show a sub-pixel accuracy and the device is robust in all tested cases. The system has then been validated with a gastroenterologist to measure polyps. Compared to literature in this field, this device performs better and is more accurate. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Le domaine des couches minces optiques a vu les fonctions de filtrage se complexifier et les techniques de dépôt se perfectionner. Cependant, certains filtres requièrent des performances ultimes notamment en termes d’uniformité et de centrage de leur réponse spectrale. Atteindre ces spécificités requiert un contrôle précis de l'épaisseur optique des couches de l’empilement. Pour se faire, l’utilisation d’un matériau dont l’indice de réfraction peut être modifié localement après dépôt est une solution. Le candidat retenu est un verre de chalcogénures : l’AMTIR-1, un verre commercial, dont l’indice de réfraction décroit sous l’action d’un champ électrique lumineux. Des couches minces de ce matériau ont été déposées par évaporation par canon à électrons et leurs propriétés optiques ont été caractérisées par mesures spectrophotométriques. Des variations d’indice photo-induites de ~4.10-2 ont été enregistrées à λ = 1 μm. Ces variations d’indice ont ensuite été exploitées pour concevoir des composants à base de couches minces optiques spatialement structurés. En particulier, des composants optiques diffractifs binaires ont été enregistrés dans le volume d’une monocouche épaisse de chalcogénure par exposition structurée. Un accord quasi parfait entre théorie et expérience a ainsi été obtenu. L’insertion de ces couches photosensibles à base de chalcogénures dans des filtres optiques interférentiels multicouches a également été investiguée. Une démonstration du contrôle local de la réponse spectrale d’un filtre passe-bande de type Fabry-Perot a été réalisée, démontrant ainsi le potentiel de cette nouvelle approche pour la réalisation de composants optiques optimisés. / In recent years, there has been a tremendous progress in the complexity of thin film optical filters but also an important improvement in the deposition techniques. However, some filters require ultimate performances especially in terms of uniformity and absolute position of their spectral responses. Achieving these characteristics requires a precise and local control of the optical thickness of each of the layers. To overcome some of these fabrication constraints, the use of a material which index of refraction or thickness can be locally changed after deposition is an attractive solution. The chosen material is a chalcogenide glass : AMTIR-1, a commercial glass which refractive index decreases when exposed to light source. Thin films of this material were deposited by electron beam deposition and optical properties were characterized by spectrophotometric measurements. Photo-induced refractive index changes of ~ 4.10-2 were recorded at λ = 1 μm. These refractive index variations were then used to fabricate spatially structured thin films. In particular, diffractive optical elements were recorded in the volume of a thick chalcogenide single layer. This is performed by structured exposure using an optical arrangement based on a digital micromirror device. A close to perfect agreement between theory and experiment has been obtained. The insertion of these chalcogenide-based photosensitive layers in multilayer optical interference filters has also been investigated. A demonstration of the local control of the spectral response of a Fabry-Perot bandpass filter was performed, demonstrating the potential of this new approach for the production of optimized optical components
