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…

Optical spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in ultra-thin metasurfaces with arbitrary topological charges

Frédéric Bouchard, Israel De Leon, Sebastian A. Schulz +3

Orbital angular momentum associated with the helical phase-front of optical beams provides an unbounded \qo{space} for both classical and quantum communications. Among the differen…

Selective engineering of cavity resonance for frequency matching in optical parametric processes

Xiyuan Lu, Steven Rogers, Wei C. Jiang +1

We propose to selectively engineer a single cavity resonance to achieve frequency matching for optical parametric processes in high-Q microresonators. For this purpose, we demonstr…

Achromatic orbital angular momentum generator

Frédéric Bouchard, Harjaspreet Mand, Mohammad Mirhosseini +2

We describe a novel approach for generating light beams that carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) by means of total internal reflection in an isotropic medium. A continuous space-v…

Compressive Wavefront Sensing with Weak Values

Gregory A. Howland, Daniel J. Lum, John C. Howell

We demonstrate a wavefront sensor based on the compressive sensing, single-pixel camera. Using a high-resolution spatial light modulator (SLM) as a variable waveplate, we weakly co…

Dispersion engineering of high-Q silicon microresonators via thermal oxidation

Wei C. Jiang, Jidong Zhang, Nicholas G. Usechak +1

We propose and demonstrate a convenient and sensitive technique for precise engineering of group-velocity dispersion in high-Q silicon microresonators. By accurately controlling th…

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…

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…
