A Scanning, All-Fiber Sagnac Interferometer for High Resolution Magneto-Optic Measurements at 820 nm
Alexander Fried, Martin Fejer, Aharon Kapitulnik
The Sagnac Interferometer has historically been used for detecting non-reciprocal phenomena, such as rotation. We demonstrate an apparatus in which this technique is employed for h…
Spectral Phase Transitions in Optical Parametric Oscillators
Arkadev Roy, Saman Jahani, Carsten Langrock +2
Spectral behaviors of photonic resonators have been the basis for a range of fundamental studies, with applications in classical and quantum technologies. Driven nonlinear resonato…
Non-equilibrium phase transitions in coupled nonlinear optical resonators
Arkadev Roy, Rajveer Nehra, Carsten Langrock +2
Phase transitions and the associated symmetry breaking are at the heart of many physical phenomena. Coupled systems with multiple interacting degrees of freedom provide a fertile g…
3G R&D: R&D for the Next Generation of Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors
David McClelland, Harald Lueck, Rana Adhikari +43
To deliver on the promise of next generation gravitational-wave observatories, a sustained and coordinated detector research and development program is required. This report examin…
Temporal Walk-off Induced Dissipative Quadratic Solitons
Arkadev Roy, Rajveer Nehra, Saman Jahani +4
A plethora of applications have recently motivated extensive efforts on the generation of low noise Kerr solitons and coherent frequency combs in various platforms ranging from fib…
Generation of 10-GHz clock sequential time-bin entanglement
Qiang Zhang, Carsten Langrock, Hiroki Takesue +3
This letter reports telecom-band sequential time-bin entangled photon-pair generation at a repetition rate of 10 GHz in periodically-poled reverse-proton-exchange lithium niobate w…
Structure and morphology of low mechanical loss TiO-doped TaO

We report 10-ps correlated photon pair generation in periodically-poled reverse-proton-exchange lithium niobate waveguides with integrated mode demultiplexer at a wavelength of 1.5…
Low-loss, fabrication-tolerant, and highly-tunable Sagnac loop reflectors and Fabry-Pérot cavities on thin-film lithium niobate
Luke Qi, Ali Khalatpour, Jason Herrmann +8
We present low-loss () and power-efficient Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) on thin-film lithium niobate. To accurately measure low MZI losses, we develop a self-calibra…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
