Notre étude concerne la mesure du déphasage optique non linéaire (NL) d’ordre trois. Deux catégories de procédés seront abordées : i) la technique interférométrique à décalage de phase qui permet la caractérisation de la phase avec une bonne résolution spatiale, ce qui est crucial pour un faisceau focalisé dans le milieu non linéaire. Cette technique utilise le critère des moindres carrés associé à plusieurs interférogrammes. Mise en œuvre à l'aide d'un modulateur spatial de lumière, elle fournit un calibrage pratique pour chaque déphasage considéré. La fiabilité de la méthode proposée est vérifiée par comparaison directe avec la méthode de transformation de Fourier ; ii) les méthodes innovantes de type Z-scan combinées avec un montage imageur. Elles seront ici appliquées aux mesures des coefficients NL d’ordre trois et d’ordres supérieurs. Nous montrerons que la flexibilité d’emploi d'une caméra CCD permet un meilleur pointage et suivi en temps réel du faisceau. Enfin nous nous intéresserons au montage Dark-field Z-scan bénéficiant des avantages de la microscopie à champ sombre à fort contraste. Ces améliorations ouvrent potentiellement un nouveau champ d’exploration microscopique pour l’investigation et la cartographie des effets non linéaires. / Our study concerns the measurement of the nonlinear (NL) optical phase shift of order three. Two categories of methods will be addressed: i) the phaseshift interferometric technique that allows phase characterization with good spatial resolution, which is crucial for a focused beam in the non-linear medium. This technique uses the least squares criterion associated with several interferograms. Implemented using a spatial light modulator, it provides a practical calibration for each phase shift considered. The reliability of the proposed method is verified by direct comparison with the Fourier transformation method; ii) innovative Z-scan methods combined with an imager assembly. They will be applied here to measurements of the NL coefficients of order three and higher. We will show that the flexibility of using a CCD camera allows for better pointing and real-time tracking of the beam. Finally, we will focus on the Dark-field Z-scan setup, which benefits from the advantages of high contrast dark field microscopy. These improvements potentially open up a new field of microscopic exploration for the investigation and mapping of non-linear effects.

Ce travail de thèse a pour cadre le projet Trusted Environment Execution eVAluation (TEEVA) (projet français FUI n°20 de Janvier 2016 à Décembre 2018) qui vise à évaluer deux solutions alternatives de sécurisation des plateformes mobiles, l’une est purement logicielle, la Whitebox Crypto, alors que l’autre intègre des éléments logiciels et matériels, le Trusted Environment Execution (TEE). Le TEE s’appuie sur la technologie TrustZone d’ARM disponible sur de nombreux chipsets du marché tels que des smartphones et tablettes Android. Cette thèse se concentre sur l’architecture TEE, l’objectif étant d’analyser les menaces potentielles liées aux infrastructures de test/debug classiquement intégrées dans les circuits pour contrôler la conformité fonctionnelle après fabrication.Le test est une étape indispensable dans la production d’un circuit intégré afin d’assurer fiabilité et qualité du produit final. En raison de l’extrême complexité des circuits intégrés actuels, les procédures de test ne peuvent pas reposer sur un simple contrôle des entrées primaires avec des patterns de test, puis sur l’observation des réponses de test produites sur les sorties primaires. Les infrastructures de test doivent être intégrées dans le matériel au moment du design, implémentant les techniques de Design-for-Testability (DfT). La technique DfT la plus commune est l’insertion de chaînes de scan. Les registres sont connectés en une ou plusieurs chaîne(s), appelé chaîne(s) de scan. Ainsi, un testeur peut contrôler et observer les états internes du circuit à travers les broches dédiées. Malheureusement, cette infrastructure de test peut aussi être utilisée pour extraire des informations sensibles stockées ou traitées dans le circuit, comme par exemple des données fortement corrélées à une clé secrète. Une attaque par scan consiste à récupérer la clé secrète d’un crypto-processeur grâce à l’observation de résultats partiellement encryptés.Des expérimentations ont été conduites sur la carte électronique de démonstration avec le TEE afin d’analyser sa sécurité contre une attaque par scan. Dans la carte électronique de démonstration, une contremesure est implémentée afin de protéger les données sensibles traitées et sauvegardées dans le TEE. Les accès de test sont déconnectés, protégeant contre les attaques exploitant les infrastructures de test, au dépend des possibilités de test, diagnostic et debug après mise en service du circuit. Les résultats d’expérience ont montré que les circuits intégrés basés sur la technologie TrustZone ont besoin d’implanter une contremesure qui protège les données extraites des chaînes de scan. Outre cette simple contremesure consistant à éviter l’accès aux chaînes de scan, des contremesures plus avancées ont été développées dans la littérature pour assurer la sécurité tout en préservant l’accès au test et au debug. Nous avons analysé un état de l’art des contremesures contre les attaques par scan. De cette étude, nous avons proposé une nouvelle contremesure qui préserve l’accès aux chaînes de scan tout en les protégeant, qui s’intègre facilement dans un système, et qui ne nécessite aucun redesign du circuit après insertion des chaînes de scan tout en préservant la testabilité du circuit. Notre solution est basée sur l’encryption du canal de test, elle assure la confidentialité des communications entre le circuit et le testeur tout en empêchant son utilisation par des utilisateurs non autorisés. Plusieurs architectures ont été étudiées, ce document rapporte également les avantages et les inconvénients des solutions envisagées en terme de sécurité et de performance. / This work is part of the Trusted Environment Execution eVAluation (TEEVA) project (French project FUI n°20 from January 2016 to December 2018) that aims to evaluate two alternative solutions for secure mobile platforms: a purely software one, the Whitebox Crypto, and a TEE solution, which integrates software and hardware components. The TEE relies on the ARM TrustZone technology available on many of the chipsets for the Android smartphones and tablets market. This thesis focuses on the TEE architecture. The goal is to analyze potential threats linked to the test/debug infrastructures classically embedded in hardware systems for functional conformity checking after manufacturing.Testing is a mandatory step in the integrated circuit production because it ensures the required quality and reliability of the devices. Because of the extreme complexity of nowadays integrated circuits, test procedures cannot rely on a simple control of primary inputs with test patterns, then observation of produced test responses on primary outputs. Test facilities must be embedded in the hardware at design time, implementing the so-called Design-for-Testability (DfT) techniques. The most popular DfT technique is the scan design. Thanks to this test-driven synthesis, registers are connected in one or several chain(s), the so-called scan chain(s). A tester can then control and observe the internal states of the circuit through dedicated scan pins and components. Unfortunately, this test infrastructure can also be used to extract sensitive information stored or processed in the chip, data strongly correlated to a secret key for instance. A scan attack consists in retrieving the secret key of a crypto-processor thanks to the observation of partially encrypted results.Experiments have been conducted during the project on the demonstrator board with the target TEE in order to analyze its security against a scan-based attack. In the demonstrator board, a countermeasure is implemented to ensure the security of the assets processed and saved in the TEE. The test accesses are disconnected preventing attacks exploiting test infrastructures but disabling the test interfaces for testing, diagnosis and debug purposes. The experimental results have shown that chips based on TrustZone technology need to implement a countermeasure to protect the data extracted from the scan chains. Besides the simple countermeasure consisting to avoid scan accesses, further countermeasures have been developed in the literature to ensure security while preserving test and debug facilities. State-of-the-art countermeasures against scan-based attacks have been analyzed. From this study, we investigate a new proposal in order to preserve the scan chain access while preventing attacks, and to provide a plug-and-play countermeasure that does not require any redesign of the scanned circuit while maintaining its testability. Our solution is based on the encryption of the test communication, it provides confidentiality of the communication between the circuit and the tester and prevents usage from unauthorized users. Several architectures have been investigated, this document also reports pros and cons of envisaged solutions in terms of security and performance.

Test power, data volume, and test time have been long-standing problems for sequential scan based testing of system-on-chip (SoC) design. The modern SoCs fabricated at lower technology nodes are complex in nature, the transistor count is as large as billions of gate for some of the microprocessors. The design complexity is further projected to increase in the coming years in accordance with Moore's law. The larger gate count and integration of multiple functionalities are the causes for higher test power dissipation, test time and data volume. The dynamic power dissipation during scan testing, i.e. during scan shift, launch and response capture, are major concerns for reliable as well as cost effective testing. Excessive average power dissipation leads to a thermal problem which causes burn-out of the chip during testing. Peak power on other hand causes test failure due to power induced additional delay. The test failure has direct impact on yield. The test power problem in modern 3D stacked based IC is even a more serious issue. Estimating the worst case functional power dissipation is yet another great challenge. The worst case functional power estimation is necessary because it gives an upper bound on the functional power dissipation which can further be used to determine the safe power zone for the test. Several solutions in the past have been proposed to address these issues. In this thesis we have three major contributions: 1) Sequential scan chain reordering, and 2) JScan-an alternative Joint-scan DFT architecture to address primarily the test power issues along with test time and data volume, and 3) an integer linear programming methodology to address the power estimation problem. In order to reduce test power during shift, we have proposed a graph theoretic formulation for scan chain reordering and for optimum scan shift operation. For each formulation a set of algorithms is proposed. The experimental results on ISCAS-89 benchmark circuit show a reduction of around 25% and 15% in peak power and scan shift time respectively. In order to have a holistic DFT architecture which could solve test power, test time, and data volume problems, a new DFT architecture called Joint-scan (JScan) have been developed. In JScan we have integrated the serial and random access scan architectures in a systematic way by which the JScan could harness the respective advantages from each of the architectures. The serial scan architecture from test power, test time, and data volume problems. However, the serial scan is simple in terms of its functionality and is cost effective in terms of DFT circuitry. Whereas, the random ac-cess scan architecture is opposite to this; it is power efficient and it takes lesser time and data volume compared to serial scan. However, the random access scan occupies larger DFT area and introduces routing congestion. Therefore, we have proposed a methodology to realize the JScan architecture as an efficient alternative for standard serial and random access scan. Further, the JScan architecture is optimized and it resulted into a 2-Mode 2M-Jscan Joint-scan architecture. The proposed architectures are experimentally verified on larger benchmark circuits and compared with existing state of the art DFT architectures. The results show a reduction of 50% to 80% in test power and 30% to 50% in test time and data volume. The proposed architectures are also evaluated for routing area minimization and we obtained a saving of around 7% to 15% of chip area. Estimating the worst case functional power being a challenging problem, we have proposed a binary integer linear programming (BILP) based methodology. Two different formulations have been proposed considering the different delay models namely zero-delay and unit-delay. The proposed methodology generates a pair or input vectors which could toggle the circuit to dissipate worst power. The BILP problems are solved using CPLEX solver for ISCAS-85 combinational benchmark circuits. For some of the circuits, the proposed methodology provided the worst possible power dissipation i.e. 80 to 100% toggling in nets.

This study explores the possibilities for reducing the number of pins needed for scan mode interface. In the first part of this paper the existing solutions and methods that are usable for this purpose are described. Specific four pin, three pin, two pin, one pin and zero pin interfaces are designed in second part. Advantages and disadvantages of existing solutions and methods as well as designed and proposed interface are summarized in the conclusion.

Depuis sa première description par James Parkinson dans son essai sur la paralysie agitante, la maladie de Parkinson (PD) a été reconnue comme une maladie du système moteur identifié par une tétrade de symptômes, à savoir : akinésie, rigidité musculaire, tremblement au repos et instabilité posturale. Ces symptômes sont liés à la perte de la dopamine (DA) dans le striatum après la dégénérescence neuronale dans la substance noire (SN). Il est de plus en plus reconnu que les symptômes non moteurs et peut-être non dopaminergiques inévitablement émergent et s'aggravent au cours de la progression de la maladie. Les perturbations du sommeil sont parmi les principaux symptômes non moteurs et ont été reconnus comme marqueurs précliniques de la maladie. Les modèles de régulation du sommeil ont insisté sur deux processus distincts : un mécanisme de contrôle du sommeil, ou homéostat sommeil, et un oscillateur circadien. L'oscillateur circadien, basé dans le noyau suprachiasmatique (NSC) est responsable de la tendance à dormir pendant certaines phases du cycle de 24 heures et la consolidation du sommeil et de réveil en épisodes distincts. L'homéostat sommeil est chargé de surveiller et de réagir à la nécessité pour le sommeil, provoquant l'envie de dormir à dépendre sur les montants avant du sommeil ou de l'éveil. Alors que les perturbations dans les circuits et les processus homéostatiques impliqués dans la régulation du sommeil-éveil comportement sont documenté dans la maladie de Parkinson, l'implication potentielle des altérations du système circadien n'ont pas été étudiés en détail. Le but de ma thèse est d'étudier les modifications dans le système circadien en utilisant deux modèles animaux de PD : la souris et le primate non-humain / Since the first description by James Parkinson in his essay on the shaking palsy, Parkinson’s disease (PD) was recognized as a motor disease identified by a tetrad of symptoms, namely; akinesia, muscular rigidity, resting tremor and postural instability. These symptoms are known to be related to loss of dopamine (DA) in the striatum following neural degeneration in the substantia nigra (SN). It is increasingly recognized that non-motor and perhaps non-dopaminergic related symptoms inevitably emerge and worsen during disease progression. Sleep disruption is one of the major non-motor symptoms and has been suggested as a preclinical marker of the disease. Models of sleep regulation have emphasized two distinct processes: a sleep-control mechanism, or sleep homeostat, and a circadian oscillator. The circadian oscillator, based in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), is responsible for the tendency to sleep during certain phases of the 24-hour cycle and the consolidation of sleep and wake into distinct episodes. The sleep homeostat is responsible for monitoring and reacting to the need for sleep, causing the urge to sleep to depend on prior amounts of sleep or wakefulness. While disruptions in the circuitry and the homeostatic processes involved in the regulation of sleep-wake behaviour is will documented in PD, the potential involvement of alterations of the circadian system have not been studied in detail. The aim of my thesis is to investigate alterations in the circadian timing system using two animal models of PD: the mouse and the non-human primate. Taken together, the studies show that disturbances of circadian functions occur after MPTP treatment in the non-human primate but not in the mouse model of PD. These results emphasize the limitations of the MPTP-treated mouse model of PD for the study of non-motor symptoms, and reinforce previous studies that question the adequacy of this model to replicate cardinal motor features of the disease. In contrast, results in the non-human primate model stress the importance of dopaminergic degeneration in the circadian organisation of behavioral sleep wake cycle in PD

La tomographie à rayons X est une technologie d’imagerie en trois dimensions. Elle se base sur la transmission de rayons X à travers l’objet d’étude. Elle est non destructive mais néanmoins irradiante. Cette technique de visualisation est utilisée principalement dans trois domaines : le diagnostic médical, le contrôle non destructif (détection de défauts dans des pièces industrielles de haute performance) et la sécurité (contrôles aéroportuaires des bagages). Les récentes avancées technologiques dans le domaine des détecteurs spectrométriques de rayons X ouvrent des perspectives d’amélioration de cette technique d’imagerie dans ses divers domaines d’application. Nous avons développé une nouvelle méthode reconstruction statistique appelée MLTR-ONE-STEP qui permet de reconstruire la variabilité énergétique du coefficient linéaire d’atténuation de l’objet étudié. Cette approche est dite « one-step » car elle reconstruit directement le volume final à partir des mesures brutes issues de détecteurs spectrométriques.Les phénomènes physiques au sein du détecteur provoquent une distorsion énergétique du spectre d’atténuation qui a été prise en compte lors de la reconstruction. La méthode utilisée s’inscrit dans le cadre bayésien et maximise la log-vraisemblance du modèle tout en prenant en compte de l’a priori spatial sur le volume reconstruit. L’objectif de la méthode est l’amélioration de la qualité de l’image finale (réduction des artefacts et niveau de bruit) et la quantification des matériaux présents. Nous avons étudié dans le cadre de données simulées l’influence des paramètres de régularisation sur la reconstruction. En pratique, le détecteur de rayon X étudié classe les photons incidents en 64 canaux. Ils sont ensuite regroupés en un nombre de canaux plus faible (2 à 25) et l’influence de ce regroupement a été étudiée. La reconstruction MLTR-ONE-STEP a ensuite été testée sur des données expérimentales regroupées en 12 canaux. / X-ray spectral tomography is a 3D visualization technique. It is based on the transmission of X-rays through object matter. It is a non-destructive technology but which irradiates the studied object/patient. X-ray tomography is mainly used in three areas: medical diagnosis, non-destructive testing (detection of defects in industry devices) and airport security (luggage screening). New technological breakthroughs in X-ray photon-counting detectors provide new perspective for improving this technique in each application field. We have developed a new reconstruction method named MLTR-ONE-STEP which enables the obtention of energetic variability of the scanned object linear attenuation coefficient. This approach belongs to the “One-Step” class because it directly reconstructs the final images from raw photon-counting detector data.Physical effects inside the detector are causing spectral distortion of the energetic spectrum. This distortion is taken into account in our reconstruction through a Detector Response Matrix. The developed reconstruction method maximizes the poissonian likelihood of the measurements with a spatial regularization Tukey term. The objectives of spectral tomography are the improvement of the image quality compared to standard tomography and the quantification of materials inside the object. We have studied the influence of regularization parameters on the final result. In practice, photon-counting detector measurements are in practice sorted in 64 energy bins. Bins are then merged in a smaller number (from 2 to 25). The influence of this binning was studied on simulated data. The MLTR-ONE-STEP was then tested on real experimental data in order to prove the feasibility of such a “One-Step” reconstruction method.

Cette étude est divisée en deux parties: l'analyse des propriétés optiques non linéaires (NLO) de nouveaux dérivés pi-conjugués d’Azobenzène Iminopyridine et les hétérogénéités dynamiques (DH) des mélanges eau/méthanol. La première partie a été réalisée en utilisant la technique Z-scan ainsi que les techniques de génération de deuxième et troisième harmoniques (SHG/THG). Communément, l'optique non linéaire est le domaine de l'optique qui étudie l'interaction de la lumière avec un système matériel et les changements induits dans les propriétés optiques des matériaux parun champ électromagnétique intense. La non-linéarité réside dans le fait que la réponse du matériau ne dépend pas linéairement de l'intensité du champ électrique. Les matériaux qui possèdent une forte réponse non linéaire sont très utiles pour la photonique et l'optoélectronique. Ils peuvent être utilisés comme limiteurs optiques pour protéger les détecteurs de faisceaux laser de haute intensité, également comme commutateurs optiques, portes optiques logiques, etc., avec un objectif ultime qui est le traitement de signal optique et la fabrication d'ordinateurs optiques. La deuxième partie a été réalisée au moyen de calculs informatiques et plus particulièrement de simulations de dynamiques moléculaires dans l'eau, dans le méthanol et dans des mélanges eau/méthanol à différentes températures. La simulation par ordinateur est un outil très approprié pour explorer les liquides, également dans la plage de régime en surfusion, sans les limitations du processus de nucléation qui a lieu dans l'expérience réelle. Lorsque la température diminue les liquides surfondus subissent a minima une augmentation exponentielle de leur viscosité (Arrhenius). Cette grande modification des propriétés detransport apparaît bien que la structure ne change que légèrement avec la température. / This study is divided into two parts: the investigation of the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of new (pi)- conjugated Azobenzene Iminopyridine derivatives and the Dynamic Heterogeneities (DH) of water/methanol mixtures. The first part was achieved employing Z-scan, Second and Third Harmonic Generation (SHG/THG) techniques. Generally, nonlinear optics is the domain of optics that studies the interaction of light with a material system and the changes resulted in the optical properties of the materials by an intense electromagnetic field. The nonlinearity lies in the fact that the material response does not depend linearly on the intensity of the electric field. Materials with significant nonlinear response are very useful for photonics and optoelectronics. They can be used as optical limiters to protect sensitive detectors of high-intensity laser beams, as well as optical switches, optical logic gates and etc., with an ultimate objective the processing of optical signal and manufacture of optical computers. The second part was done via computer calculationsand more specifically Molecular Dynamic Simulations in water, methanol and water/methanol mixtures at different temperatures. Computer simulation is a very suitable tool for exploring liquids, also in the range of the supercooled regime, without the limitations of the nucleation process, which takes place in the real experiment. Supercooled liquids undergo an exponential (Arrhenius) or even larger increase of their viscosity, when the temperature decreases. This large modification of the transport properties appear while the structure only slightly changes with temperature.

Materiais dopados com o íon trivalente Tb apresentam intensa emissão no verde (5D4 → 7Fj, j = 3, 4, 5 e 6) e fraca na região UV-azul (5D3 → 7Fj , j = 4, 5 e 6). A emissão azul pode ocorrer a partir de excitação direta no UV (emissão Stokes) ou por upconversion (emissão anti-Stokes), após a excitação em 488 nm (excitação ressonante no nível 5D4 a partir do estado fundamental). Nesta dissertação analisamos as propriedades da luminescência do Tb3+ em vidros aluminosilicato de cálcio com baixa concentração de sílica. Para excitação em 325nm, verificou-se que a intensidade da luminescência verde aumenta linearmente com a concentração, enquanto a emissão azul é fortemente reduzida com o aumento da concentração de Tb3+ de 0,5 para 15,0% (% em peso). No caso da excitação em 488 nm, observou-se uma forte saturação das emissões verdes, para intensidades duas ordens de grandeza menores que o esperado. Por meio de um sistema de equações de taxa, mostramos que esse comportamento pode ser explicado pelo mecanismo de absorção do estado excitado (AEE) e, por uma seção de choque de absorção (5D4 → 5D3) aproximadamente duas ordens de magnitude maior do que a do estado fundamental (7F6 → 5D4). Nossos resultados sugerem que a relaxação cruzada envolvendo os níveis 5D4 e 5D3 não é o único mecanismo responsável pela depopulação do nível 5D3 , como tipicamente descrito na literatura. Processos de upconversion por luminescência cooperativa entre íons excitados (5D3: 5D3 ou 5D3: 5D4) e outros mecanismos que envolvem transferência de energia para níveis excitados superiores (4f5d, banda de transferência de carga, matriz hospedeira, defeitos, etc) podem desempenhar um papel significativo neste sistema. Medidas de Z-scan resolvidas no tempo com excitação em 488 nm foram realizadas e não-linearidades de altas ordens foram observadas (n2, n4, etc.). A partir do n2, valores de Δαp e Δσ da ordem de 10-25 cm3 e 10-20cm2 foram calculados, respectivamente. Este valor de Δαp é o mais alto já reportado em materiais dopados com TR, provavelmente devido à baixa energia dos níveis 4f5d para o íon Tb3+. / Trivalent Tb-doped materials exhibit strong emission in the green (5D4 → 7Fj, j = 3, 4, 5 e 6) and weak in the UV-blue (5D3 → 7Fj , j = 4,5 e 6). The blue emission can occur from direct UV excitation (Stokes emission) or by upconversion (anti-Stokes emission) through 488 nm excitation (resonant pump of 5D4 metastable level from the ground state). In this dissertation the luminescence properties of Tb3+ doped low silica calcium aluminosilicate glasses are reported and analyzed. The intensity of green luminescence increases proportionally to the concentration while the blue luminescence is strongly reduced with the increase of Tb3+ concentration from 0.5 up to 15.0 wt%. In the case of 488 nm excitation, a saturation behavior of the green emission is observed at intensities two orders of magnitude smaller than expected for bleaching of the ground state population. Using a rate equation model, we show that this behavior can be explained by an excited state absorption (ESA) from 5D4 to upper levels, with an absorption cross section two orders of magnitude larger than the ground state absorption. The effect of ESA could also be observed by the shortening of the green emission risetime with the increase of pump intensity. We infer that the CR is not the only loss mechanism responsible for the 5D3 depopulation. Cooperative upconversion from a pair of excited ions (5D3:5D3 or 5D3:5D4) and other mechanisms involving upper lying states (4f5d, charge transfer, host matrix, defects, etc.) may play a significant role. Time-resolved Z-scan measurements were also performed at 488 nm high order nonlinearities were observed (n2, n4, etc.). From n2, Δαp and Δσ of the order of 10-25 cm3 and 10-20cm2, respectively, were obtained. This Δαp value is the highest ever reported for a RE doped material, it seems to be due to the low energy value of the 4f5d state in Tb3+.

O índice de refração não-linear n2 é o parâmetro chave da não-linearidade de terceira ordem em materiais ópticos. Um método simples, direto e sensível para medição do índice de refração não-linear (n2) é a técnica Z-scan proposta Sheik-Bahae et al 1. Nesse trabalho, um estudo sistemático quanto a esta técnica foi realizado. Utilizando a integral de difração de Fresnel-Kirchhoff, foi possível analisar a técnica investigando a influência do raio de abertura da íris. Foram obtidas expressões analíticas inéditas quando consideramos baixas não-linearidades induzidas por amostras finas. Esses resultados mostraram que o valor de n2 obtido é aproximadamente 36% maior do que n2 obtido por Sheik-Bahae para abertura linear de S=0,5, por exemplo.Extensões da técnica foram feitas, onde simulações para testar a viabilidade de medidas Z-scan no campo próximo e com dois feixes foram realizadas, de onde também foi possível encontrar resultados analíticos inéditos. Esses resultados teóricos foram testados tanto para feixe único quanto duplo em alguns experimentos, sendo obtido um bom acordo. Por fim, um novo método para medição do índice de refração não-linear não-degenerado foi proposto, em que é possível obter n2 no comprimento de onda do feixe de prova, num experimento com dois feixes. Esse resultado é importante uma vez que, em muitos casos, não é possível a realização de uma medida Z-scan convencional, devido ao fato da amostra não absorver o comprimento de onda do feixe de prova. Um resultado de n2 para rubi em 633nm foi obtido em bom acordo com resultados prévios da literatura, em que foram utilizadas técnicas de maior complexidade experimental. / The nonlinear refractive index n2 is the key parameter of the third order nonlinearity of optical materials. A simple, direct and sensitive measurement of nonlinear refractive index n2 is so-called Z-scan technique proposed by Sheik Bahae et al 1. In this work, a systematic study on this technique was performed. Based on Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral formula, it was possible to analyze the technique in order to investigate the influence of the apertures radius. We obtained unpublished analytical expressions when we consider small nonlinearities induced by thin samples. These results showed that the value of n2 obtained is about 36% larger than n2 obtained by Sheik-Bahae when the linear opening is 50%, for example.Extensions about the technique were made. Simulations were performed in order to test the feasibility of near-field Z-scan and two-color Z-scan measurements. Again it was also possible to find unpublished analytical results. The theoretical results were tested in some experiments and good agreement was found. Finally, a new method for measuring the nondegenerate refractive index was proposed. So, there is the possibility to obtain n2 at the wavelength of the probe beam in a two-color Z-scan experiment. This result is important since in many cases is impossible to perform a conventional z-scan measurement, due to the fact that the sample does not absorb the wavelength of the probe beam. A result of n2 for ruby at 633nm was obtained in good agreement with previous studies.

Les composés organiques et organométalliques représentent des matériaux prometteurs pour leurs applications dans divers domaines tels que l'optique non linéaire, l'optoélectronique, la photonique et le stockage des données par voie optique. Dans ce travail,nous avons étudié les propriétés optiques non linéaires(ONL) de deux familles de composés à savoir des molécules organiques à base de BODIPY et des complexes organométalliques à base de ruthénium (II)et de fer (II). Pour cette étude nous avons utilisé un laser pulsé en régime picoseconde qui délivre deux longueurs d'ondes : 1064 nm et 532 nm. Nous avons utilisé 1064nm pour les techniques de la génération de la seconde harmonique (SHG) et la génération de la troisième harmonique (THG) et 532 nm pour celle de Zscan.Les résultats obtenus sont intéressants et originaux et montrent bien que la réponse non linéaire dépend du nombre de groupements donneurs d’électrons pour les molécules organiques à base de BODIPY. Le même comportement a été observé dans le cas des complexes organométalliques à base de ruthénium (II) et de fer (II) mettant en évidence la modulation de la réponse optique non linéaire en fonction de la nature du métal de transition utilisé(Ru(II)ou Fe(II)) et de la nature des ligands auxiliaires autour du fragment organométallique (Ru(II)). / Organic and organometallic compounds represent an important potential in many fields such as optics, optoelectronics, photonics and optical data storage. In this work, we have studied the nonlinear optical properties of two types of compounds; organic molecules based on BODIPY and organometallic complexes based on ruthenium (II) and iron (II). For this, the experimental techniques used were based on SHG, THG and onZ-scan techniques. For this study, we used a pulsed picosecond laser delivering two wavelengths: 1064 nm and 532 nm. 1064 nm for SHG and THG techniques and 532 nm for Z-scantechnique were used, respectively. The results obtained are interesting and original and show that the nonlinear optical response of organic molecules based on BODIPY depends in particular on the number of electron donor groups. The same behavior has been observed in the case of organometallic complexes based on ruthenium (II) and iron (II), highlighting the modulation of the nonlinear optical response as a function of the nature of the transition metal used (Ru ( II) or Fe (II)) and the nature of the ancillary ligands around the organometallic moiety (Ru (II)).
