Extreme Space-Time Optics & Quantum Meta-Photonics
Online Presentations | 16 Feb 2024 | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev
We first discuss all-optical modulation with single photons using electron avalanche, resulting in record-high nonlinearities. Then we show that transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) operating in the near-zero index (NZI) regime can provide strong single-cycle modulation, thus enabling novel...

Golden Opportunities: Gold Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
Online Presentations | 14 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Catherine J. Murphy
In this talk I will discuss how these nanoparticles are prepared, how their surface chemistry can be tuned, how apparent cytotoxicity can be traced back to reagents in the synthesis rather than the particles per se, how protein orientation can be controlled on their surfaces, how cells respond...

Covalent Defects of Carbon Nanotubes: New Class of High Purity, Indistinguishable Quantum Light Sources
Online Presentations | 02 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Han Htoon
Finally, I will report our most recent Hong-Ou-Mandel quantum optic experiment performed on quantum defects coupled to plasmonic cavities. We were able to realize indistinguishable single photon generation by exploiting the Purcell enhancement of the radiative decay rate of individual...

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.
