Topological control of the nonlinear-optical response of hybrid quantum systems
Ethan L. Crowell, Mark G. Kuzyk
We map the topological properties of a one dimensional superlattice to the optical properties of an electronic system. We find that the nonlinear-optical response is optimized for…

Quantum Limits on Material Response Factors for Optimized Radiative Heat Transfer
Ethan L. Crowell, Mark G. Kuzyk
Through quantum mechanical considerations, we optimize the material response factor , which plays a pivotal role in the fundamental limits of near-fi…

Using excited states and degeneracies to enhance the electric polarizability and first hyperpolarizability
Ethan Crowell, Mark Kuzyk
We investigate the efficacy of boosting the nonlinear-optical response by using novel systems such as those in an excited state or with a degenerate ground state. By applying the T…
