Résumé
Abstract

Nous présentons nos résultats sur des guides d'ondes semiconducteurs pour la fluorescence paramétrique dans le proche infrarouge. Deux schémas d'accord de phase sont présentés : la biréfringence de forme et l'accord de phase contrapropageant. Les caractéristiques et les performances de ces solutions sont analysées et comparées pour différents types d'applications. L'émergence de ces dispositifs ouvre des nouvelles perspectives vers la réalisation d'amplificateurs paramétriques, oscillateurs et sources pour l'information quantique en régime guidé.

We report on semiconductor waveguides for room-temperature parametric fluorescence in the near infrared. Two phase-matching schemes are presented: form birefringence and counter-propagating phase matching. The characteristics and performances of these solutions are discussed and compared for different kinds of applications. The emergence of these devices opens new perspectives toward guided-wave parametric amplifiers, oscillators, and sources for quantum information.
