Mapping the Optical Absorption of a Substrate-Transferred Crystalline AlGaAs Coating at 1.5um
Jessica Steinlechner, Iain W Martin, Angus Bell +5
The sensitivity of 2nd and 3rd generations of interferometric gravitational wave detectors will be limited by thermal noise of the test-mass mirrors and highly reflective coatings.…
4 X 20 Gbit/s mode division multiplexing over free space using vector modes and a q-plate mode (de)multiplexer
Giovanni Milione, Martin P. J. Lavery, Hao Huang +8
Vector modes are spatial modes that have spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization, such as, radial and azimuthal polarization. They can produce smaller spot sizes and stronge…
Photons that travel in free space slower than the speed of light
Daniel Giovannini, Jacquiline Romero, Vaclav Potocek +5
That the speed of light in free space is constant is a cornerstone of modern physics. However, light beams have finite transverse size, which leads to a modification of their wavev…
New Design of Electrostatic Mirror Actuators for Application in High-Precision Interferometry
H. Wittel, S. Hild, G. Bergmann +2
We describe a new geometry for electrostatic actuators to be used in sensitive laser interferometers. The arrangement consists of two plates at the sides of the mirror (test mass),…
Thermal Noise Reduction and Absorption Optimisation via Multi-Material Coatings
Jessica Steinlechner, Iain W. Martin, Jim Hough +3
Future gravitational wave detectors (GWDs) such as Advanced LIGO upgrades and the Einstein Telescope are planned to operate at cryogenic temperatures using crystalline silicon (cSi…
Imaging with a small number of photons
Peter A. Morris, Reuben S. Aspden, Jessica Bell +2
Low-light-level imaging techniques have application in many diverse fields, ranging from biological sciences to security. We demonstrate a single-photon imaging system based on a t…
Nonlinear optomechanical pressure
Claudio Conti, Robert Boyd
A transparent material exhibits ultra-fast optical nonlinearity and is subject to optical pressure if irradiated by a laser beam. However, the effect of nonlinearity on optical pre…
Phase-Insensitive Scattering of Terahertz Radiation
M. Petev, N. Westerberg, E. Rubino +6
The nonlinear interaction between Near-Infrared (NIR) and Terahertz pulses is principally investigated as a means for the detection of radiation in the hardly accessible THz spectr…
A "fair sampling" perspective on an apparent violation of duality
Eliot Bolduc, Jonathan Leach, Filippo M. Miatto +2
In the event in which a quantum mechanical particle can pass from an initial state to a final state along two possible paths, the duality principle states that "the simultaneous ob…
Limitations to the determination of a Laguerre-Gauss spectrum via projective, phase-flattening measurement
Hammam Qassim, Filippo M. Miatto, Juan P. Torres +3
One of the most widely used techniques for measuring the orbital angular momentum components of a light beam is to flatten the spiral phase front of a mode, in order to couple it t…
