Tuneable far-detuned intramodal four-wave mixing via diameter control of optical microfibres

G.F. received his Ph. D. degree in laser spectroscopy of gas in 1994 from the Burgundy University, Dijon (France). He studied the influences of molecular collisions on the vibrational and rotational Stimulated Raman spectra of gas by CARS. In 1996, he got a permanent position in the Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, where he studied the heterogeneous catalysis of molecules chemisorbed on surface in UHV chamber by the MIES and UPS techniques. He joined in 2002 the optics department of FEMTO-ST institute, in Université de Franche-Comté, Besançon. He studied first the spatiotemporal dynamics of spatial soliton arrays in Kerr waveguides generated by Modulation Instability, and the slow-light process on spatial solitons induced by Raman scattering. He also studied the nonlinear processes in liquid core optical fibers filled with highly nonlinear liquids, up to the generation of optical supercontinuum. He currently focuse on nonlinear processes occurring in optical micro-nanofibers.
