Cavity solitons are optical pulses that propagate indefinitely in nonlinear resonators. They
are attracting attention, both for their many potential applications and their connection to …

Stoichiometric silicon nitride (Si3N4) is one of the most mature integrated photonic platforms
for linear and nonlinear optical applications on-chip. However, because it is a …

Although χ^(2) nonlinear optical processes, such as difference frequency generation (DFG),
are often used in conjunction with fiber lasers for wavelength conversion and photon-pair …

This review gives a perspective of the thermal poling technique throughout its chronological
evolution, starting in the early 1990s when the first observation of the permanent creation of …

Thermally poled silica fibers are characterized by nonnull second order effective nonlinear
susceptibility and can consequently be exploited for the generation of parametric processes …

This work proposes a new route to overcome the limits of the thermal poling technique for
the creation of second order nonlinearity in conventional silica optical fibers. We prove that it …

Stoichiometric silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) constitutes a mature platform for integrated photonics.
Its pertinent properties, including wide transparency window from the visible to the mid-IR …

Thermal poling, a technique to create permanently effective second-order susceptibility in
silica optical fibers, has recently been improved by the discovery of an “induction poling” …

In this work, we present a quantitative (statistical) 3D morphological characterization of
optical fibers used in electric-field sensing. The characterization technique employs …

In this thesis, the concept of functionalising microstructured optical fibres is proposed using a
unique and novel concept of liquid phase deposition of two dimensional materials. Two …
