Detection of weak stochastic force in a parametrically stabilized micro opto-mechanical system
A. Pontin, M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli +5
Measuring a weak force is an important task for micro-mechanical systems, both when using devices as sensitive detectors and, particularly, in experiments of quantum mechanics. The…
Walk dimension for light in complex disordered media
Romolo Savo, Matteo Burresi, Tomas Svensson +2
Transport in complex systems is characterized by a fractal dimension -- the walk dimension -- that indicates the diffusive or anomalous nature of the underlying random walk process…
Systematic investigation of the effects of disorder at the lowest order throughout the BCS-BEC crossover
F. Palestini, G. C. Strinati
A systematic investigation of the effects of disorder on the BCS-BEC crossover at the lowest order in the impurity potential is presented for the normal phase above the critical te…
Transport in quenched disorder: light diffusion in strongly heterogeneous turbid media
Tomas Svensson, Kevin Vynck, Erik Adolfsson +3
We present a theoretical and experimental study of light transport in disordered media with strongly heterogeneous distribution of scatterers formed via non-scattering regions. Ste…
Robust frequency stabilization of multiple spectroscopy lasers with large and tunable offset frequencies
Alexander Nevsky, Soroosh Alighanbari, Qun-Feng Chen +7
We demonstrate a compact and robust device for simultaneous absolute frequency stabilization of three diode lasers whose carrier frequencies can be chosen freely relative to the re…
Squeezing a thermal mechanical oscillator by stabilized parametric effect on the optical spring
A. Pontin, M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli +5
We report the confinement of an optomechanical micro-oscillator in a squeezed thermal state, obtained by parametric modulation of the optical spring. We propose and implement an ex…
Experimental and theoretical investigation of statistical regimes in random laser emission
Emilio Ignesti, Federico Tommasi, Lorenzo Fini +4
We present a theoretical and experimental study aimed at characterizing statistical regimes in a random laser. Both the theoretical simulations and the experimental results show th…
Experimental realization of quantum zeno dynamics
Florian Schäfer, Ivan Herrera, Shahid Cherukattil +4
It is generally impossible to probe a quantum system without disturbing it. However, it is possible to exploit the back-action of quantum measurements and strong couplings to tailo…
Frequency noise cancellation in optomechanical systems for ponderomotive squeezing
A. Pontin, C. Biancofiore, E. Serra +7
Ponderomotive squeezing of the output light of an optical cavity has been recently observed in the MHz range in two different cavity optomechanical devices. Quadrature squeezing be…
Transport of a Bose gas in 1D disordered lattices at the fluid-insulator transition
Luca Tanzi, Eleonora Lucioni, Saptarishi Chaudhuri +5
We investigate the momentum-dependent transport of 1D quasi-condensates in quasiperiodic optical lattices. We observe a sharp crossover from a weakly dissipative regime to a strong…
Realistic and verifiable coherent control of excitonic states in a light harvesting complex
Stephan Hoyer, Filippo Caruso, Simone Montangero +4
We explore the feasibility of coherent control of excitonic dynamics in light harvesting complexes, analyzing the limits imposed by the open nature of these quantum systems. We est…
Light transport and localization in two-dimensional correlated disorder
Gaurasundar M. Conley, Matteo Burresi, Filippo Pratesi +2
Structural correlations in disordered media are known to affect significantly the propagation of waves. In this article, we theoretically investigate the transport and localization…
Optical non-reciprocity of cold atom Bragg mirrors in motion
S. A. R. Horsley, J. -H. Wu, M. Artoni +1
Reciprocity is fundamental to light transport and is a concept that holds also in rather complex systems. Yet, reciprocity can be switched off even in linear, isotropic and passive…
Water in a Polymeric Electrolyte Membrane: Sorption/Desorption and Freezing phenomena
Marie Plazanet, Francesco Sacchetti, Caterina Petrillo +3
Nafion is a perfluorosulfonated polymer, widely used in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells. This polymer adopts a complex structural organisation resulting from the microsegregati…
A comparative study on bulk and nanoconfined water by time-resolved optical Kerr effect spectroscopy
Andrea Taschin, Paolo Bartolini, Agnese Marcelli +2
The low frequency vibrational spectra of hydrated porous silica are specifically sensitive to the hydrogen bond interactions and provides a wealth of information on the structural…
Distribution of Scattering Matrix Elements in Quantum Chaotic Scattering
Santosh Kumar, André Nock, Hans-Jürgen Sommers +5
Scattering is an important phenomenon which is observed in systems ranging from the micro- to macroscale. In the context of nuclear reaction theory the Heidelberg approach was prop…
Evidence of two distinct local structures of water from ambient to supercooled conditions
A. Taschin, P. Bartolini, R. Eramo +2
The liquid and supercooled states of water show a series of anomalies whose nature is debated. A key role is attributed to the formation of structural aggregates induced by critica…
Revisiting the Bragg reflector to illustrate some modern developments in optics
S. A. R. Horsley, J. -H. Wu, M. Artoni +1
A series of thin layers of alternating refractive index is known to make a good optical mirror over certain bands of frequency. Such a device - often termed the Bragg reflector - i…
