Transport non-linéaire et génération Terahertz dans des systèmes bidimensionnels sous forte irradiation optique / Nonlinear transport and Terahertz generation in two-dimensional systems under strong optical irradiationHuppert, Simon 29 September 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse traite de comportements non-linéaires dans deux types de systèmes bidimensionnels différents: les hétérostructures semiconductrices ainsi qu'un matériau monocouche, le graphène. Elle comporte deux axes principaux: l'étude de la quantification de Wannier-Stark dans les super-réseaux de puits quantiques biaisés électriquement, et la modélisation d'effets nouveaux pour la génération de rayonnement électromagnétique dans le domaine Terahertz. Dans les super-réseaux de puits quantiques soumis à une tension externe, le champ électrique induit un confinement bidimensionnel des porteurs de charge nommé quantification de Wannier-Stark. On modélise deux conséquences originales de cette quantification: d'une part, les fortes non-linéarités de photocourant dans un super-réseau placé entre deux barrières tunnel épaisses, et d'autre part, la possibilité de contrôler électriquement le couplage lumière-matière et le gain dans la gamme Terahertz dans un super-réseau biaisé couplé à une microcavité planaire. Dans un second temps, on étudie quantitativement deux effets non-linéaires nouveaux pour la génération Terahertz. Le premier est l'exaltation de l'émission Terahertz dans un système polaritonique en régime de laser à polaritons. On modélise précisément cet effet et on propose un nouveau dispositif utilisant une microcavité double et permettant de réduire très significativement les pertes par diffusion. Le second effet étudié est le transfert d'impulsion photonique dans le graphène sous excitation impulsionnelle. On construit un modèle microscopique prédictif de ce phénomène qui permet de déterminer les paramètres importants pour l'optimisation de l'impulsion Terahertz générée. Ce travail théorique a été mené en étroite collaboration avec plusieurs équipes expérimentales. / This thesis treats of nonlinear behaviors in two different types of bidimensional systems: semiconductor heterostructures as well as a monolayer material, graphene. It consists into two main parts: the study Wannier-Stark quantification in electrically biased quantum well superlattices, and the modelling of new effects for electromagnetic wave generation in the Terahertz range. In quantum well superlattices under an external voltage, the electric field induces bidimensional confinement of the charge carriers, this effect is known as Wannier-Stark quantification. We examine two interesting consequences of this confinement: the strong photocurrent nonlinearities induced when the superlattice is placed between thick tunnel barriers, and the possibility to control light-matter coupling as well as Terahertz gain in superlattices coupled to a semiconductor microcavity. In a second part of this work, we study quantitatively two new nonlinear effects for Terahertz generation. The first one is Terahertz emission exaltation in a polaritonic system reaching the polariton lasing regime. We model precisely this effect and suggest a new scheme using a double microcavity and providing very significant reduction of the diffusion losses. The second effect is photon drag in graphene under pulsed excitation. We build a microscopic and predictive model for this phenomenon which provides a comprehensive insight on the relevant parameters for the optimisation of the Terahertz generation. This theoretical work was done in tight collaboration with several experimental groups.

Lasers à pérovskites hybrides halogénées en microcavité / Hybrid halide perovskites-based microcavity lasersBouteyre, Paul 18 December 2019 (has links)
Depuis 2012, les pérovskites hybrides halogénées de type CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br ou Cl) sont apparues comme très prometteuses non seulement dans le domaine du photovoltaïque mais aussi pour les dispositifs émetteurs de lumière comme les diodes électroluminescentes et les lasers. L'un des avantages cruciaux de ces matériaux semiconducteurs est leur méthode de déposition à basse température et en solution. Le réglage de la longueur d'onde d'émission des pérovskites dans tout le spectre visible par de simples substitutions chimiques dans la partie halogénée est un autre atout. En particulier, les pérovskites halogénées montrent une grande efficacité de luminescence dans le vert et pourraient répondre au problème du "green gap" dans les sources laser (le "green gap" fait référence à la baisse d'efficacité des diodes électroluminescente et diodes laser à semi-conducteurs émettant dans le vert).Le travail de doctorat mené ici a porté sur la réalisation d’un laser pompé optiquement à base de la pérovskite hybride CH3NH3PbBr3 émettant dans le vert. La structure réalisée consiste en une microcavité verticale à base d’une couche mince de 100 nanomètres de CH3NH3PbBr3 déposé par "spin-coating" (dépôt par enduction centrifuge), insérée entre un miroir diélectrique et un miroir métallique. Nous avons démontré, à température ambiante, le régime de couplage fort entre le mode photonique de la microcavité et l'exciton de la pérovskite. Ce régime de couplage fort conduit à la création de quasi-particules appelées les exciton-polaritons, qui sont une superposition cohérente d’états photonique et excitonique. En augmentant la puissance injectée optiquement, nous avons obtenu un effet laser dans cette microcavité. L’étude des propriétés d’émission de ce laser met en évidence que nous avons réalisé un laser aléatoire, émettant dans le vert, filtré directionnellement par la courbe de dispersion du polariton de basse énergie. Ce filtrage par la courbe de dispersion du polariton permet le contrôle de la directionnalité de l’émission laser sur une grande gamme d’angles : des angles aussi grands que 22° ont été obtenus expérimentalement. / Since 2012, the hybrid halide perovskites of CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br or Cl) type have emerged as very promising not only in the field of photovoltaics but also for light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes and lasers. One of the crucial advantages of these semiconductor materials is their low temperature and solution deposition method. The tuning of the perovskites emission wavelength throughout the visible spectrum by simple chemistry substitutions in the halogenated part is another asset. In particular, the halide perovskites show a high luminescence efficiency in the green and could address the "green gap" problem in laser sources (the "green gap" refers to the drop in efficiency of light-emitting diodes and laser diodes emitting in the green).The thesis work carried out here is focused on the development of an optically pumped laser based on the hybrid halide perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3 emitting in the green. The structure consists of a vertical microcavity based on a 100-nanometre thin film of CH3NH3PbBr3 deposited by spin-coating, inserted between a dielectric mirror and a metal mirror. We have demonstrated, at room temperature, the strong coupling regime between the microcavity photonic mode and the exciton of the perovskite. This strong coupling regime leads to the creation of quasi-particles called exciton-polaritons, which are a coherent superposition of photonic and excitonic states. By increasing the optically injected power, we obtained a laser effect in this microcavity. The study of the emission properties of this laser shows that we have produced a random laser, emitting in the green, filtered directionally by the dispersion curve of the lower polariton. This filtering by the polariton dispersion curve allows the directionality of the laser emission to be controlled over a wide range of angles: angles as large as 22° were obtained experimentally.

Polariton quantum fluids in one-dimensional synthetic lattices : localization, propagation and interactions / Fluides quantiques de polartions dans des réseaux unidimensionnels synthétiques : localisation, propagation et interactionsGoblot, Valentin 31 January 2019 (has links)
Les microcavités à semiconducteurs apparaissent aujourd’hui comme une plateforme particulièrement propice à l’étude des fluides quantiques en interactions. Dans ces cavités, la lumière et les excitations électroniques sont confinées dans de petits volumes et leur couplage est rendu si fort que les propriétés optiques sont gouvernées par des quasi-particules hybrides lumière-matière appelées polaritons de cavité. Ces quasi-particules se propagent comme des photons, mais interagissent avec leur environnement via leur partie matière. Elles peuvent occuper massivement un même état quantique et se comporter comme une onde macroscopique cohérente et non-linéaire. On parle alors de fluide quantique de lumière. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions la dynamique de fluides quantiques de polaritons dans différentes microstructures unidimensionnelles. La technologie de gravure de microcavités planaires, développée au C2N, permet de réaliser une ingénierie complète du potentiel dans lequel nous générons ces fluides de polaritons et d’implémenter des géométries complexes. Dans une première partie, nous avons étudié les propriétés de localisation des états propres de réseaux synthétiques quasi-périodes. L’exploration théorique du diagramme de phase de localisation des modes propres a dévoilé une nouvelle transition de type délocalisation-localisation lors d’une déformation originale d’un quasi-cristal, transition que nous avons pu observer expérimentalement. Une deuxième partie de la thèse est consacrée à l’étude de la dynamique non-linéaire de deux fluides contra-propageant dans un canal unidimensionnel. La compétition entre énergie cinétique et énergie d’interactions conduit alors à l’apparition de solitons sombres, dont le nombre discret et la position peuvent être contrôlés optiquement. Nous avons mis en évidence une bistabilité contrôlée par la différence de phase imprimée sur les deux fluides. La dernière partie du travail concerne l’étude des non-linéarités pour un fluide de polaritons occupant une bande plate. L’énergie cinétique du fluide y est nulle, si bien que sa propagation est gelée. Nous observons alors la formation de domaines non-linéaires de taille quantifiée. Ce travail ouvre des perspectives prometteuses, tout particulièrement pour l’exploration de phases topologiques de bosons en interactions. De plus, augmenter les interactions permettrait d’utiliser notre plate-forme comme un simulateur quantique. / Semiconductor microcavities have emerged as a powerful platform for the study of interacting quantum fluids. In these cavities, light and electronic excitations are confined in small volumes, and their coupling is so strongly enhanced that optical properties are governed by hybrid light-matter quasiparticles, known as cavity polaritons. These quasiparticles propagate like photons and interact with their environment via their matter part. They can macroscopically occupy a single quantum state and then behave as an extended coherent nonlinear wave, i.e. as a quantum fluid of light. In this thesis, we study the nonlinear dynamics of polariton quantum fluids in various one-dimensional microstructures. The possibility to etch microstructures out of planar cavities, a technology developed at C2N, allows full engineering of the potential landscape for the polariton fluid, and implementing complex geometries. In a first part, we have studied the localization properties of the eigenstates in synthetic quasiperiodic lattices. Theoretical exploration of the localization phase diagram revealed a novel delocalization-localization transition in an original deformation of a quasicrystal and we have experimentally evidenced this transition. A second part of the thesis is dedicated to the study of the nonlinear dynamics of two counterpropagating polariton fluids in a one-dimensional channel. The interplay between kinetic and interaction energy is responsible for the formation of dark solitons, whose number and position can be controlled by optical means. We have evidenced a bistable behaviour controlled by the phase twist imprinted on the two fluids. The last part of this work addresses the study of nonlinearities for a fluid injected in a flat band. Therein, the kinetic energy of the fluid is quenched, so that propagation is frozen. We then observe the formation of nonlinear domains with quantized size. This work opens us exciting perspectives, specifically towards the exploration of topological phases of interacting bosons. Enhancing interactions would also allow using our platform for quantum simulation.

Fabrication et caractérisation des microcavités à base de ZnO en régime de couplage fort : laser à polaritons / Fabrication and characterization of ZnO-based microcavities working in the strong coupling regime : polariton laserLi, Feng 29 November 2013 (has links)
Les polaritons de cavité sont des quasi-particules, partiellement matière-t partiellement lumière, crées lors du couplage fort d'un exciton et d’un photon de cavité. A une certaine température et densité de particules, les polaritons de cavité peuvent subir une transition de phase de type quasi-Bose-Einstein et condenser dans l'état de plus basse énergie du système; dans ces conditions, la cavité émet de la lumière cohérente et le dispositif associé est appelé laser à polaritons. ZnO est l'un des matériaux les plus adaptés pour la fabrication des lasers à polaritons fonctionnant à température ambiante, en raison de ses excellentes propriétés excitoniques. Cependant, des difficultés techniques ont empêché la réalisation de microcavités à base de ZnO pendant longtemps. Dans cette thèse nous présentons la fabrication de microcavités à base de ZnO par deux approches différentes, ce qui a permis de surmonter les difficultés technologiques existantes et ont permis d'obtenir des figures de mérite avec des valeurs records (pour le facteur de qualité ainsi que pour l’éclatement de de Rabi). Des lasers à polaritons fonctionnant à température ambiante ont été démontré dans les deux cas. Dans la microcavité entièrement hybride, des condensats de polaritons ont été étudiés dans une gamme de désaccord exciton-photon sans précédents, et de basse température à température ambiante; ceci a permis d'obtenir, pour la première fois, un diagramme de phases complet. Cette thèse ouvre la voie à une polaritonique appliquée fonctionnant à température ambiante. / Cavity polaritons are quasi-particles, partially light partially matter, resulting from the strong-coupling of an exciton and a cavity photon. At a certain temperature and particle density, cavity polaritons can go through a quasi-Bose-Einstein phase transition and condense at the lowest energy state of the system; in this situation the cavity emits coherent light and the associated device is termed polariton laser. ZnO is one of the most adapted materials for fabricating room temperature polariton lasers, due to its excellent excitonic properties. However, technical difficulties have been preventing the achievement of ideal ZnO microcavities for a long time. In this thesis we report the fabrication of high quality ZnO microcavities with two different approaches, which overcome the existing technical challenges and allow to achieve a record cavity quality factor and large Rabi splittings. Room temperature polariton lasing has been demonstrated in both cases. In a fully-hybrid ZnO microcavity, polariton condensates were studied within an unprecedented range of exciton-photon detunings, and from low to room temperature. This tunability has enabled to obtain, for the first time, a complete condensation phase diagram for ZnO-based microcavities, wherein the exciton fraction of the polaritons has been tuned between 17% to 96%, corresponding to a modification of the exciton-polariton mass, its lifetime and its interaction constant by 1 order of magnitude. This thesis paves the way for implementing a polariton-based technology operating at room-temperature.

Organic polaritons : modelling the effect of vibrational dressingĆwik, Justyna Agnieszka January 2015 (has links)
This thesis is a theoretical study of the effects of vibrational degrees of freedom on the polariton physics. The work is motivated by recent experiments, which show that by allowing light to strongly couple with organic matter (inside a microcavity), polariton condensation can occur at room temperature. We begin by introducing a model, which describes localised electronic excitations of molecules coupled to cavity photon modes. The additional feature is the coupling between electronic excitations and local vibrational modes of molecules. Investigations of equilibrium phase diagrams and absorption spectra of the system (with a single cavity mode and without disorder) have revealed that coupling to vibrational modes acts to suppress the effective light-matter strength, can give rise to a sequence of normal-condensed-normal transitions as a function of temperature, and can drive the phase transition first order. We have also found that despite the vibrational sidebands existing at energies below the lower polariton, they cannot result in condensation, though their admixture has been found in the state which acquires macroscopic occupation. Secondly, we focused on the effects of excitonic disorder and the possibility of the ground state reconfiguration in ultra-strong coupling regime, with the aim to explain the temperature dependence of absorption spectra published in [A. Canaguier-Durand et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 10533 (2013)]. We have found that the latter mechanism, although not impossible, could not result in any observable changes as, for the experimental parameters, it is too weak. The study of absorption spectra in the presence of disorder has revealed that the temperature dependence can be accounted for by the vibrational dressing of electronic transitions.

Dependence of surface plasmon polaritons on the geometry of periodic metallic nanostructures and Its application on biosensing. / 表面等離子體激元對於週期性金屬納米結構幾何形狀的依賴性及其在生物傳感中的應用 / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / Dependence of surface plasmon polaritons on the geometry of periodic metallic nanostructures and Its application on biosensing. / Biao mian deng li zi ti ji yuan dui yu zhou qi xing jin shu na mi jie gou ji he xing zhuang de yi lai xing ji qi zai sheng wu chuan gan zhong de ying yongJanuary 2012 (has links)
由於表面等離子體激元可以將電磁場限制在金屬表面,從而產生強烈的場強增強效果,因此在納米光子學和生物光子學方面具有廣泛的應用價值,其中包括高性能發光二級管、光伏電池、超高分辨率光學成像和超靈敏分子檢測等。尤其在單分子和醫學診斷方面,基於表面等離子體共振的生物傳感器獲得了越來越多的青睞。本論文包括兩部份。第一部份著重討論二維週期性洞陣列的表面等離子體特性,而第二部份則是研究這種洞陣列結構在表面等離子體共振傳感方面的應用。 / 在第一部份中,表面等離子體模式被分為非簡並模式(m,O) 和簡並模式(m,±n)兩種情況分別加以討論。首先,結合實驗結果和理論模型,我們對非簡並模式的衰減壽命和激發效率進行了研究。通過光干涉光刻法和薄膜沉積技術,一系列不同幾何結構的洞陣列樣品被製備出來,且這些樣品具有很高的重複性。利用角分辨色散關係進行模式識別以及確定這些模式的衰減壽命和激發效率。通過調整起偏器和檢偏器的相對方向,表面等離子體模式的非輻射和輻射衰竭均可加以研究。結果發現,衰減壽命強烈依賴於單洞的幾何結構,而且這種行為可以用簡單的靜電模型并考慮高階修正加以解釋。從非輻射衰減和輻射衰減平衡的角度出發,激發效率對幾何結構和共振波長的依賴性也可以理解。對於簡并模式,由於存在稱合,對稱模式和反對稱模式分別被p 偏振激發和S偏振激發。它們的對稱性和對於衰減壽命和共振波長的修正可以用干涉法和模式耦合理論來理解。最後,利用多模耦合方程,我們對色散關係圖譜隨著洞深度增加而演化的情況也進行了探討。 / 第二部份對基於表面等離子體共振的生物傳感器與陣列幾何結構的關係進行了研究。結果發現,激發效率和衰減壽命對表面等離子體共振傳感器的分辨率都起到了關鍵性作用。在共振中,峰值高度和帶寬主要由表面等離子體的衰減速率控制。較低的衰減速率導致較清晰的峰值線型,從而產生較高的傳感器分辨率。因此,通過調整陣列的幾何結構以產生非常低得輻射衰減速率,表面等離于體共振傳感器的品質因數可高達104.8/RIU ,這已經超過了基於梭鏡和納米粒子對應器件的性能表現。 / Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) generate a strong localized electromagnetic field on metal surface and thus are promising for nano- and bio-photonics including high performing light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic cells, super-high resolution optical imaging, ultra-high sensitive bimolecular detection, etc. In particular, the application of SPPs on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor has drawn much more attention recently because of the attempt to realize single molecule detection in medical diagnosis. / This thesis contains two parts. The first part focuses on studying the basic plasmonic properties of two-dimensional periodic hole arrays while the second part concentrates on the application of hole arrays on SPR sensing. / In the first part, SPPs modes on hole arrays are classified into nondegenerate mode (m, 0) and degenerate mode (m, ±n). For nondegenerate mode, its decay lifetime and generation efficiency are studied both experimentally and theoretically. By combining interference lithography and thin film deposition, a set of arrays with a wide range of geometry has been fabricated with high reproducibility. The dispersion relations of arrays are studied by angle-dependent reflectivity for mode identification and detenninations of SPP decay lifetime and generation efficiency. In particular, through orienting the polarization of the specular reflection either parallel or orthogonal to that of the incidence, we can access both the nonradiative and radiative decays of SPPs at different resonance wavelengths. As a result, it is found that decay lifetime is strongly dependent on the geometry of single hole and its behaviors can be understood by using a simple quasi-static model taking into account of the higher order correction as well as numerical simulation deduced by finite-difference timedomain. The dependence of generation efficiency on hole geometry or resonance wavelength can be understood in tenns of trade-off between nonradiative and radiative decay rates. Once these two decay rates equals to each other, the optimum generation efficiency is realized and the field enhancement gets the maximum. And the optimum parameters can be achieved by adjusting the hole geometry or the resonance wavelength. For degenerate mode, due to the coupling between (m, +n) and (m, -n) modes, a symmetric and an anti-symmetric modes are excited under pand s-polarized excitation, respectively. Their symmetries and modifications to the decay lifetime and resonance wavelength can be understood by using the interference method and coupled mode theory. Finally, generalized coupled mode equations are employed to know about the evolution of dispersion relation as hole depth increases. / The dependence of SPR biosensor on the generation and decay of SPPs are studied in the second part. Both the generation efficiency and decay lifetime of SPPs are found to be critical in governing the resolution of SPR biosensor. In SPR, the peak height and linewidth are primarily controlled by the decay rate of SPPs. Lower decay rate leads to sharper peak profile, which results in higher SPR resolution. Therefore, by tailoring the geometry of hole arrays to achieve a very low radiative decay rate, a SPR biosensor with figure of merit (FOM) reaching l04.8/RIU can be realized, which surpasses those of prism and nanoparticle counterparts. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Zhang, Lei = 表面等離子體激元對於週期性金屬納米結構幾何形狀的依賴性及其在生物傳感中的應用 / 張磊. / "November 2011." / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 116-125). / Electronic reproduction.

Broadly wavelength-tunable bandpass filters based on long-range surface plasmon-polaritonsLee, Jongwon 17 February 2012 (has links)
Broad spectral tunability is a desired feature of many photonic and plasmonic components, such as optical filters, semiconductor lasers, and plasmonic materials. Here I show that unique properties of long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LR SPP) allow one to produce optical components with very wide tuning range using small variations in the refractive index of the dielectric cladding material. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, I present operation of LR-SPP-based bandpass optical filters in which a 0.004 variation in the refractive index of the cladding dielectric translates into 210 nm of bandpass tuning at telecom wavelengths. The tuning mechanism proposed here may be used to create monolithic bandpass filters with tuning range spanning over more than an optical octave, compact and widely-tunable diode and quantum cascade laser systems, multi-spectral imagers, and other plasmonic components with broadly-tunable optical response. / text
