Dissertation
Theory of laser-induced ultrafast structural changes in solids
(2010-04-21)
The present thesis is a contribution to the study of laser-solid interaction.
Despite the numerous applications resulting from the recent use of laser technology, there is still a lack of satisfactory answers to theoretical questions regarding the mechanism leading to the structural changes induced by femtosecond lasers in materials.
We provide here theoretical approaches for the description of the structural response of different solids (cerium, samarium sulfide, bismuth and germanium) to femtosecond laser ...

High-Speed Semiconductor Lasers based on Low-Dimensional Active Materials for Optical Telecommunication
(2012-07-10)
The scope of this work is the fundamental growth, tailoring and characterization of self-organized indium arsenide quantum dots (QDs) and their exploitation as active region for diode lasers emitting in the 1.55 µm range. This wavelength regime is especially interesting for long-haul telecommunications as optical fibers made from silica glass have the lowest optical absorption. Molecular Beam Epitaxy is utilized as fabrication technique for the quantum dots and laser structures. The results presented in this thesis ...

Development of directly modulated high speed telecommunication lasers based on surface defined feedback gratings
(2012-10-31)
High-speed semiconductor lasers are an integral part in the implemen- tation of high-bit-rate optical communications systems. They are com- pact, rugged, reliable, long-lived, and relatively inexpensive sources of coherent light. Due to the very low attenuation window that exists in the silica based optical fiber at 1.55 μm and the zero dispersion point at 1.3 μm, they have become the mainstay of optical fiber com- munication systems. For the fabrication of lasers with gratings such as, distributed bragg reflector ...

Theory of Vesicle Motion and Interpretation of Electrophysiological Experiments in Chromaffin Cells, Hippocampal Neurons and Neuromuscular Junctions
(2018-07-16)
Communication among secretory cells, neurons and other related cells is accompanied by a
process called exocytosis, which consists in the release of neurotransmitters into the intercellular space. The neurotransmitter molecules are transported inside vesicles, which move
towards the cell membrane. Once at an active site of the membrane, vesicles can undergo
fusion with the membrane. As a result of fusion, a pore in the membrane is produced, through
which neurotransmitter molecules leave the cell. Exocytosis is ...

Asymptotic model for shape resonance control of diatomics by intense non-resonant light: universality in the single-channel approximation
(2015)
Non-resonant light interacting with diatomics via the polarizability anisotropy couples different
rotational states and may lead to strong hybridization of the motion. The modification of shape
resonances and low-energy scattering states due to this interaction can be fully captured by an
asymptotic model, based on the long-range properties of the scattering (Crubellier et al 2015 New J.
Phys. 17 045020). Remarkably, the properties of the field-dressed shape resonances in this asymptotic
multi-channel description ...

Asymptotic model for shape resonance control of diatomics by intense non-resonant light
(2015)
We derive a universal model for atom pairs interacting with non-resonant light via the polarizability
anisotropy, based on the long range properties of the scattering. The corresponding dynamics can be
obtained using a nodal line technique to solve the asymptotic Schrödinger equation. It consists of
imposing physical boundary conditions at long range and vanishing the wavefunction at a position
separating the inner zone and the asymptotic region. We show that nodal lines which depend on the
intensity of the ...
