Hassan Termos 2017 4 Acknowledgments This dissertation is the result of three years of hard and persistent work that was performed at Lab-STICC (Laboratoire des Sciences et Techniques de l’Information, de la Communication et de la Connaissance) at ENIB (École Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Brest). Working at Lab-STICC has been a wonderful experience. I thank Ammar SHARAIHA, Professor at ENIB, for introducing me to the laboratory and the unrestricted academic freedom he offered me. His scientific advice and his profound knowledge invaluably contributed to this work. His enthusiasm first inspired me to pursue research in this field. His advice and encouragement through the three years have kept me going. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Thierry RAMPONE, Associate Professor at ENIB, for all the time he spent with me discussing my professional development. Our meetings have been very helpful and allowed me to develop high scientific and research capabilities. I am greatly indebted to him for his inspiring guidance, valuable advices, and endless support for work. He introduced me to the world of semiconductor lasers and integrated photonics. He has been an excellent ambassador for our research efforts. This work and publications could not been achieved without his discussions and suggestions. Special thanks to Ali HAMIE, Dean of Faculty of Science and Fine Arts at the Arts, Sciences, and Technology University in Lebanon (AUL) and Professor at Lebanese University (LU), for giving me the opportunity to have my dissertation in such a developed laboratory in addition to the time, encouragement, and his time guidance and participation in all the stages of this thesis in which his efforts contributed to making my work successful to me and to all those concerned in the core of my work. Moreover my most deep sense of gratitude and deep thanks to Ali ALAEDDINE, Professor at Lebanese University (LU), for giving me useful guidance, encouragement, and valuable suggestions in the work. I sincerely thank Christelle AUPETIT-BERTHELEMOT, Professor at ENSIL, and Hong WU LI, Professor at University of Nantes, who accepted to be the reviewers of the thesis. I also express my sincere gratitude to Didier ERASME, Professor at Telecom Paris-Tech and Ziad OSMAN, Professor at Beirut Arab University (BAU), for accepting to be the examiners of this work. Hassan Termos 2017 5 I would like to thank the entire ENIB team: the professors, the technicians, and the administration, especially Viviane LARDEUR and Jean-Luc BERTHEVAS, for their help during the three years of the thesis. Warm thanks are given to my family, especially my mother, for their tireless love, support, and encouragement.
