MLVC: Multi-platform Learned Video Codec for Real-World Deployment

Tanel Pärnamaa, Martin Lumiste, Ardi Loot +3

Neural video codecs have surpassed classical codecs in coding efficiency but remain impractical for deployment due to cross-platform incompatibility and high computational cost. Ex…

Steps towards the experimental realization of surface plasmon polariton enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Ardi Loot, Ilmo Sildos, Valter Kiisk +2

The realization of efficient and miniature source of entangled photon pairs stills remains a challenge. In this work, we experimentally studied the possibility to enhance the proce…

Transfer-matrix method for second-order nonlinear processes with realistic beams

A. Loot, V. Hizhnyakov

Accurate and fast modeling of electric fields in layered structures have a great scientific and practical value. Prevalent method for that is transfer-matrix method. However, trans…

Spontaneous down conversion of surface plasmon polaritons: strong-field consideration

Vladimir Hizhnyakov, Ardi Loot

A non-perturbative theory of the spontaneous down conversion (SDC) of surface plasmon polaritons at a metal-dielectric interface is presented. It is shown that the process is reson…

Dynamical Casimir effect for surface plasmon polaritons

V. Hizhnyakov, A. Loot, S. Ch. Azizabadi

Emission of photon pairs by an interface of asymmetric dielectric and thin metal film excited by a normally falling plane wave is considered. The excitation causes oscillations in…

Spontaneous down conversion in metal-dielectric interface - a possible source of polarization-entangled photons

Vladimir Hizhnyakov, Ardi Loot

Spontaneous down conversion in metal-dielectric interface in case of oblique laser excitation is considered. In this case it is possible to generate pairs of polarization entangled…
