Optical Signal Processing of Broadband Entangled Photons
Online Presentations | 03 Nov 2016 | Contributor(s):: Ogaga Daniel Odele
Over the last few years, our group has been involved in developing novel techniques for controlling the correlations of broadband time-frequency entangled photons (“biphotons”) using classical optical-signal processing techniques. We believe our manipulation schemes will become...

Optical Hyperspace: Light in Metamaterials with Hyperbolic Dispersion
Online Presentations | 03 Nov 2016 | Contributor(s):: Evgenii Narimanov
The composites with opposite signs of the dielectric permittivity in two orthogonal directions, known as the hyperbolic metamaterials, represent a new "universality class" of optical media, with the light behavior which is qualitatively different from that in either metals or...

Quantum Measurement Backaction: From Atoms to Optomechanics
Online Presentations | 13 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s):: Mukund Vengalattore
The act of measurement has profound consequences on a quantum system. As such, the evolution of a quantum system can be influenced and even controlled through the continuous measurement of its properties. I will describe our studies on such measurement-induced dynamics in systems ranging from...

Coupling of Quantum Emitters to Localized and Propagating Plasmons
Online Presentations | 13 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s):: Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi
In this talk, I review our latest theoretical and experimental results concerning QE coupling to localized and propagating SP modes. In particular, influence of gap SP resonators on the decay rate of closely located QEs and different decay contributions are discussed as well as the dynamics of...

Surprising Nanophotonic Phenomena in Nature and Photonic Modeling with S4
Online Presentations | 17 Aug 2016 | Contributor(s):: Peter Bermel
I will show how S4sim, a transfer matrix-based optical simulation tool available on nanoHUB.org can be used to precisely calculate these behaviors. A few exciting real-world applications of this work will also be briefly discussed.

Surprising Nanophotonic Phenomena in Nature
Online Presentations | 11 Jul 2016 | Contributor(s):: Peter Bermel
A broad range of optical phenomena in nature have created long-standing mysteries. For example, what gives butterflies and birds their rich colors? And how can sightings of some unusual natural phenomena like mirages or ball lightning be explained? The process of solving these mysteries has...

Computational Nanophotonics – Designing Spaces for Light
Online Presentations | 29 Jun 2016 | Contributor(s):: Alexander V. Kildishev
In this presentation, after a brief review of previous work based on the innovative methods of transformation optics, I present a new class of elliptic omnidirectional concentrators focusing light on a disk, a thin strip, or a rod. This study expands the theory of a circular omnidirectional...

Photons as 'Glue' for Dissimilar Quantum Systems
Online Presentations | 12 Apr 2016 | Contributor(s):: Oliver Benson
Here we report on different photon sources, which could be part of a quantum hybrid architecture or which could provide the‘glue’for dissimilar quantum systems. The talk concerns on the one hand the integration of stable emitters as reliable sources and on the other hand the...
