Molecular optomechanics with atomic antennas
Mikolaj K. Schmidt, Alexander A. High, Michael J. Steel
A typical surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) system relies on deeply subwavelength field localization in nanoscale plasmonic cavities to enhance both the excitation and emiss…
Suspended Z-cut lithium niobate waveguides for stimulated Brillouin scattering
Lisa-Sophie Haerteis, Yan Gao, Aditya Dubey +8
On-chip stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has recently been demonstrated in thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN), an emerging material platform for integrated photonics offering la…
Generation of polarization-entangled counter-propagating photons with high orbital angular momentum
Elisabeth Wagner, Mikolaj K. Schmidt, Michael J. Steel +1
Spin and orbital angular momenta of light are attractive resources to harness for encoding, and manipulating information, with applications in various quantum photonic technologies…
Quasi-solitons and stable superluminal opto-acoustic pulses in Brillouin scattering
Antoine F. J. Runge, MikoÅaj K. Schmidt, Alexander S. Solntsev +2
We theoretically and numerically study the evolution of soliton-like waves supported by stimulated Brillouin scattering. First, the emergence and unusual behaviour of resonant soli…
Anti-resonant reflecting acoustic rib waveguides for strong opto-acoustic interaction
Thomas Dinter, MikoÅaj K. Schmidt, Michael J. Steel
Few known material systems can simultaneously guide optical and elastic fields through total internal reflection. This natural limit has restricted the realization of strong optoac…
