  Thermo-reflectance Microscopy Assembly   Modulated ThermoReflectance is a non-contact method that allows to follow the heat diffusion in modulated regime induced in a sample and consequently to deduce its thermal properties thanks to...

Asynchronous Optical Sampling (Real Time Stroboscopy) ASOPS   Since 2010, a new concept of pump-probe measurement has been studied and implemented on our experimental benches: Asynchronous Optical Sampling (ASOPS), which consists in using 2...

  Material: 3 femtosecond lasers 80 MHz SpectraPhysics 2 cavities Tsunami 3W and 1W, 1 cavity Mai_Tai 2W, 1 OPO (Optical Parmetric Oscillator 500nm-1.6µm), 1 pulse picker doubler, 1 furnace for temperature study of...

  Polarized light interferometric assembly for quantitative mapping of surface waves   This assembly was developed as part of a study on the Non-contact handling of fluids and particles using acoustic fields. Surface acoustic...

  Experimental set-up acoustic clamps The experimental set-up described below was developed in the framework of a thesis on manipulation and trapping by acoustic radiation pressure. This type of trap based on the use...

Team Permanent Member: Daniel Garcia Sanchez Chercheur invité : Bernard Perrin Quantum optomechanics and electromechanics is a fast growing field with promising applications in quantum information. Recently non-classical mechanical states have been realized. However,...

  Equipe Permanent Member: Jean-Louis Thomas Non-contact handling of solid objects is possible by using the forces exerted by electromagnetic or acoustic fields [1,2]. Optical tweezers are the best known example and earned A....

Team Permanent member: Olga Boyko Emeritus researcher: Bernard Bonello   Theorical aspects Following the example of what happened about twenty years ago for photonic crystals, we are currently witnessing a certain effervescence around phononic...

Team Permanent Membres: Laurent Belliard, Olga Boyko, Agnès Huynh, Eric Charron, Serge Vincent Guest Researcher: Bernard Perrin PhD Student: Phonons play an essential role in the optical and electronic phenomena of semiconductors and their...

Team Permanent Members: Jean-Yves Duquesne, Pauline Rovillain PhD Student: Louis Christienne Magneto-striction, i.e. the coupling between magnetization and deformation, offers an original means of controlling magnetic properties. Thus, we use surface acoustic waves (rayleigh waves)...
