Various civil or military applications, such as spectroscopy in the atmospheric transparency windows (3 – 5 µm and 8 – 12 µm ranges), require the use of mid-infrared...

Powerful sources in the mid-infrared with a good beam quality are highly needed for applications such as optical countermeasures. The quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a...

We developed a singly-resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) based on a nonlinear crystal of 5%-ppMgCLN congruent lithium niobate chip and pumped at 1064 nm by...

This work focuses on the design, the realization and the characterization of devices, based on semiconductor quantum wells and operating in the strong or ultra-strong...

During the last 10 years, the quantum cascade lasers performances in the mid-infrared have been considerably improved: the wall plug efficiency has reached values...

The field of plasmonics is experiencing a rapid development, due to the interest in studying the behavior of light at the nanometer scale. Key ingredients of plasmonics...

This thesis work is focused on the top metal grating applied to the Quantum Cascade Lasers operating in the mid-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Physic...
