Experimental generation of an optical field with arbitrary spatial coherence properties

Brandon Rodenburg, Mohammad Mirhosseini, Omar S. Magaña-Loaiza +1

We describe an experimental technique to generate a quasi-monochromatic field with any arbitrary spatial coherence properties that can be described by the cross-spectral density fu…

Technical advantages for weak value amplification: When less is more

Andrew N. Jordan, Julián Martínez-Rincón, John C. Howell

The technical merits of weak value amplification techniques are analyzed. We consider models of several different types of technical noise in an optical context and show that weak…

Photon counting compressive depth mapping

Gregory A. Howland, Daniel J. Lum, Matthew R. Ware +1

We demonstrate a compressed sensing, photon counting lidar system based on the single-pixel camera. Our technique recovers both depth and intensity maps from a single under-sampled…

Simple, broadband, optical spatial cloaking of very large objects

John C. Howell, J. Benjamin Howell

We demonstrate three simple cloaking devices that can hide very large spatial objects over the entire visible spectrum using only passive, off-the-shelf optics. The cloaked region…

Multiple time scale blinking in InAs quantum dot single-photon sources

Marcelo Davanco, C. Stephen Hellberg, Serkan Ates +2

We use photon correlation measurements to study blinking in single, epitaxially-grown self-assembled InAs quantum dots situated in circular Bragg grating and microdisk cavities. Th…

Strengthening weak value amplification with recycled photons

Justin Dressel, Kevin Lyons, Andrew N. Jordan +2

We consider the use of cyclic weak measurements to improve the sensitivity of weak-value amplification precision measurement schemes. Previous weak-value experiments have used only…

Ray transfer matrix for a spiral phase plate

M. Eggleston, T. Godat, E. Munro +3

We present a ray transfer matrix for a spiral phase plate. Using this matrix, we determine the stability of an optical resonator made of two spiral phase plates, and trace stable r…

Observation of nitrogen vacancy photoluminescence from an optically levitated nanodiamond

Levi P. Neukirch, Jan Gieseler, Romain Quidant +2

We present the first evidence of nitrogen vacancy (NV) photoluminescence from a nanodiamond suspended in a free-space optical dipole trap at atmospheric pressure. The photoluminesc…

Free-space communication through turbulence: a comparison of plane-wave and orbital-angular-momentum encodings

Mohammad Mirhosseini, Brandon Rodenburg, Mehul Malik +1

Free-space communication allows one to use spatial mode encoding, which is susceptible to the effects of diffraction and turbulence. Here, we discuss the optimum communication mode…

Rapidly reconfigurable optically induced photonic crystals in hot rubidium vapor

Bethany Little, David J. Starling, John C. Howell +3

Through periodic index modulation, we create two different types of photonic structures in a heated rubidium vapor for controlled reflection, transmission and diffraction of light.…

Simulating thick atmospheric turbulence in the lab with application to orbital angular momentum communication

Brandon Rodenburg, Mohammad Mirhosseini, Mehul Malik +6

We describe a procedure by which a long () optical path through atmospheric turbulence can be experimentally simulated in a controlled fashion and scaled do…

Stimulated Raman scattering cascade spanning the wavelength range of 523 to 1750~nm using a graded-index multimode optical fiber

Hamed Pourbeyram, Govind P. Agrawal, Arash Mafi

We report on the generation of a Raman cascade spanning the wavelength range of 523 to 1750 nm wavelength range, in a standard telecommunication graded-index multimode optical fibe…
