Using an acousto-optic modulator as a fast spatial light modulator
Xialin Liu, Boris Braverman, Robert W. Boyd
High-speed spatial light modulators (SLM) are crucial components for free-space communication and structured illumination imaging. Current approaches for dynamical spatial mode gen…
Controlling nonlinear rogue wave formation using the coherence length of phase noise
Saumya Choudhary, A. Nicholas Black, Aku Antikainen +1
Weak phase noise present on an optical field can be amplified by a self-focusing nonlinearity and form intense "rogue wave" features. Here, we study the effect of the coherence len…
Extremely large nonlinear response in crystalline quartz at THz frequencies
Soheil Zibod, Payman Rasekh, Murat Yildrim +5
We report on the first experimental observation of a very strong nonlinear response in crystalline quartz in the terahertz (THz) frequency region through THz time-domain spectrosco…
Beam deflection and negative drag in a moving nonlinear medium
Ryan Hogan, Akbar Safari, Giulia Marcucci +2
Light propagating in a moving medium with refractive index other than unity is subject to light drag. While the light drag effect due to the linear refractive index is often neglig…
Experimental generation of polarization entanglement from spontaneous parametric down-conversion pumped by spatiotemporally highly incoherent light
Cheng Li, Boris Braverman, Girish Kulkarni +1
The influence of pump coherence on the entanglement produced in spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is important to understand, both from a fundamental perspective, and f…
Suppression of Nonlinear Optical Rogue Wave Formation Using Polarization-Structured Beams
A. Nicholas Black, Saumya Choudhary, E. Samuel Arroyo-Rivera +2
A nonlinear self-focusing material can amplify random small-amplitude phase modulations present in an optical beam, leading to the formation of amplitude singularities commonly ref…
