Description

When optical components are reduced to the nanoscale, they exhibit interesting properties that can be harnessed to create new devices. For example, imagine a block of material with thin layers of alternating materials. This creates a periodic arrangement of alternating dielectric constants, forming a "photonic crystal" that is analogous to the electronic crystals used in semiconductor devices. Photonic crystals, along with quantum dots and other devices patterned at the nanoscale, may form the basis for sensors and switches used in computers and telecommunications. More information on Nanophotonics can be found here.

  1. Mini Course: Energy-Efficient Optical Interconnect

    Online Presentations | 17 Apr 2020 | Contributor(s):: Center for E3S, Christopher Lalau Keraly, Michael Eggleston

    Chris Keraly and Michael Eggleston, former PhD students at UC Berkeley, lead a mini course on Nano-Photonics and Optical Interconnects. This mini-course consists of three lectures.

  2. Optical Hyperspace: Light in Hyperbolic Materials

    Online Presentations | 14 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Evgenii Narimanov

    Hyperbolic metamaterias are strongly anisotropic composite media that behave as either metals or dielectrics in different directions. They can be fabricated n many different ways, such as metallic layers that are separated from each other by thin dielectric spacers, or using arrays of parallel...

  3. Towards Quantum Information Processing with Atom-Filled Hollow-Core Fibres

    Online Presentations | 10 Oct 2019 | Contributor(s):: Ben Sparkes

    I will present results from our experiments aiming for efficient, coherent and noiseless storage of high-bandwidth optical pulses in warm rubidium-filled HCPCFs using the off-resonance cascade absorption (ORCA) technique.

  4. 3 min Research Talk: Plasmonic Core-Multishell Nanowires for Optical Applications

    Online Presentations | 26 Sep 2019 | Contributor(s):: Raheem Carless

    ED lights and technology are being used more often in today’s society. Compared to traditional illumination they are far more reliable and efficient, in the sense that they last longer, are environmentally friendly, and most importantly, they reduce energy waste.

    Online Presentations | 11 Jul 2019 | Contributor(s):: Andrew M Weiner

    In this talk I discuss recent advances in manipulation and measurement of quantum states encoded and entangled in the photonic frequency degree of freedom or hyperentangled in time and frequency degrees of freedom. Although the perspective is primarily experimental, I will also attempt to...

  9. Can Plasmonics Help Outpace Quantum Decoherence?

    Online Presentations | 07 Jun 2019 | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev

    We discuss an unorthodox way to overcome quantum decoherence by using plasmonics that can speed up quantum processes to the extent that they outpace and thus become immune to decoherence.

  10. Topological Materials as Platforms for New Particles and Electromagnetic Responses

    Online Presentations | 06 Jun 2019 | Contributor(s):: Joel Moore

    We then turn to how topological Weyl and Dirac semimetals can show unique electromagnetic responses; we argue that in linear response the main observable effect solves an old problem via the orbital moment of Bloch electrons, and how in nonlinear optics there should be a new quantized effect,...

  11. Manipulating Strongly Interacting Individual Quanta: Photon Molecules and 51 Atomic Qubits

    Online Presentations | 26 Mar 2019 | Contributor(s):: Vladan Vuletic

    I will discuss two applications: By coherently coupling light to Rydberg excitations in a dense atomic medium, we have realized a highly nonlinear optical medium where the interactions between individual photons are so strong that two photons can even form a bound state.
