Limit Cycles and Chaos Induced by a Nonlinearity with Memory

K. J. H. Peters, S. R. K. Rodriguez

Inspired by the observation of a distributed time delay in the nonlinear response of an optical resonator, we investigate the effects of a similar delay on a noise-driven mechanica…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in a coherently driven nanophotonic Bose-Hubbard dimer

B. Garbin, A. Giraldo, K. J. H. Peters +7

We report on the first experimental observation of spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking (SSB) in coherently driven-dissipative coupled optical cavities. SSB is observed as the brea…

Coloured and Semi-Transparent Nanowire-based Solar Cells for Building Integrated Photovoltaics

Nasim Tavakoli, Wonjong Kim, Tom Veeken +5

Semi-transparent photovoltaics (ST-PV) provide smart spatial solutions to integrate solar cells into already-built areas. Here, we study the potential of semiconductor nanowires (N…

Exceptional precision of a nonlinear optical sensor at a square-root singularity

K. J. H. Peters, S. R. K. Rodriguez

Exceptional points (EPs) -- spectral singularities of non-Hermitian linear systems -- have recently attracted great interest for sensing. While initial proposals and experiments fo…

Hybrid Photonic-Plasmonic Cavities based on the Nanoparticle-on-a-Mirror Configuration

Angela I. Barreda, Mario Zapata-Herrera, Isabelle Palstra +4

Hybrid photonic-plasmonic cavities have emerged as a new platform to increase light-matter interaction capable to enhance the Purcell factor in a singular way not attainable with e…
