Book Description
Ce travail de thèse est sur la réalisation et la caractérisation de guides d’ondes planaires à base des verres chalcogénures pour des applications passives et actives. Les applications passives sont étudiées avec les verres à base énergie de phone pour le projet spatial européen DARWIN visant à trouver des exo planète pouvant abriter la vie. Le verre TGG (Te75Ge15Ga10) a été sélectionné pour sa grande fenêtre de transparence de 2 à 20 μm. Une procédure de purification et de synthèse a été mise au point pour obtenir des verres ayant une atténuation moyenne de l’ordre de 0,5 dB/cm. Des couches antireflets ont été déposées sur ce verre, réduisant considérablement les pertes optiques par réflexion en passant d’environ 45% à moins de 5% dans une large bande spectrale de 10-20 μm. Il a été démontré que ce verre est stable dans le temps et sous irradiation et il satisfait aux spécifications d’utilisation dans l’espace. Les propriétés actives de verres de chalcogénures ont été étudiées avec des couches minces et guides d’onde planaires, fabriqués en utilisant la pulvérisation cathodique ou le PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) avec un verre de base ayant la composition Ga5Ge20Sb10S(Se)65. Le guidage de lumière a été démontré avec une perte mesurée d’environ 1 dB/cm à 1.55 μm. La fluorescence a été observée dans ces guides d’onde planaires dopés aux ions Er3+ et un gain on/off de 4,4dB (3,4 dB/cm) a été obtenu à 1,54 μm. Deux compositions, Ge15Sb20S65 et Ge25Sb10S65 dans le même système vitreux ont été étudiées pour sélectionner un verre ayant un meilleur compromis entre le l’indice non linéaire et le coefficient d’absorption non linéaire. L’étude focalisée sur la deuxième composition a permis de démontrer l’effet Kerr dans ce matériau. Et pour la 1ère fois, la propagation d’un soliton spatial a été observée dans un guide d’onde en verre de chalcogénure.

La réalisation de guides d’onde planaires et canalisés en verres de sulfures a été décrite et leurs caractéristiques morphologiques, structurales et optiques ont été déterminées. Des fibres optiques en verres de séléniure et/ou tellure ont aussi été réalisées et utilisées en tant que capteur dans le domaine de l’agro-alimentaire, de la biologie et de la médecine, capteur fonctionnant sur le principe de la spectroscopie infrarouge par ondes évanescentes. La mise au point de méthodes d’analyses statistiques a permis de détecter des pathogènes et de différencier des pathologies. Les verres de chalcogénures se sont également révélés utile pour mettre en œuvre une expérience de résonance plasmonique de surface. Des résultats préliminaires sur la détection de l’accroche spécifique d’une toxine à la surface du prisme ont été obtenus.

Book Description
This new, third volume of Cohen-Tannoudji's groundbreaking textbook covers advanced topics of quantum mechanics such as uncorrelated and correlated identical particles, the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field, absorption, emission and scattering of photons by atoms, and quantum entanglement. Written in a didactically unrivalled manner, the textbook explains the fundamental concepts in seven chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * Completing the success story: the third and final volume of the quantum mechanics textbook written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the books comes with a wealth of elaborately explained examples and applications Claude Cohen-Tannoudji was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris where he also studied and received his PhD in 1962. In 1973 he became Professor of atomic and molecular physics at the Collège des France. His main research interests were optical pumping, quantum optics and atom-photon interactions. In 1997, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, together with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms. Bernard Diu was Professor at the Denis Diderot University (Paris VII). He was engaged in research at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and High Energy where his focus was on strong interactions physics and statistical mechanics. Franck Laloë was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. His first assignment was with the University of Paris VI before he was appointed to the CNRS, the French National Research Center. His research was focused on optical pumping, statistical mechanics of quantum gases, musical acoustics and the foundations of quantum mechanics.

Book Description
It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.

Book Description
What is a plasmon? Is it a particle, like a photon or a wave? Plasmonics stands at the frontier of condensed matter physics, which is the world of electrons, optics and of photons. Plasmonics is one of the most active fields in nanophotonics. This book begins by exploring the concepts behind waves, and the electromagnetic description of light when it interacts with metals; it dedicates every chapter thereafter to all aspects of plasmonics. In particular, the surface plasmon polariton wave is explained in full detail, as well as the localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles. The active research area opened by plasmonics, as well as its applications, are also briefly explained, such as advanced biosensing, subwavelength waveguiding, quantum plasmonics, nanoparticle-based cancer therapies, optical nano-antenna and high-efficiency photovoltaic cells.The book is adapted for graduate students and places a special emphasis on providing complete explanations of the fundamental concepts of plasmonics. Further, each of these concepts is illustrated with examples drawn from the most recent scientific literature. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises that will help the reader revise the concepts and go deeper into the world of plasmonics. More than 70 exercises are included.

Book Description
This book provides a convincing argument for the view that whole cells and whole plants growing in competitive wild conditions show aspects of plant behaviour that can be accurately described as 'intelligent'. Trewavas argues that behaviour, like intelligence, must be assessed within the constraints of the anatomical and physiological framework of the organism in question. The fact that plants do not have centralized nervous systems for example, does not exclude intelligent behaviour. Outside the human dimension, culture is thought largely absent and fitness is the biological property of value. Thus, solving environmental problems that threaten to reduce fitness is another way of viewing intelligent behaviour and has a similar meaning to adaptively variable behaviour. The capacity to solve these problems might be considered to vary in different organisms, but variation does not mean absence. By extending these ideas into a book that allows a critical and amplified discussion, the author hopes to raise an awareness of the concept of purposive behaviour in plants.
