Optical analogue of Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction in photonic graphene
C. E. Whittaker, T. Dowling, A. V. Nalitov +6
The concept of gauge fields plays a significant role in many areas of physics from particle physics and cosmology to condensed matter systems, where gauge potentials are a natural…
Photon Statistics of Filtered Resonance Fluorescence
Catherine L. Phillips, Alistair J. Brash, Dara P. S. McCutcheon +6
Spectral filtering of resonance fluorescence is widely employed to improve single photon purity and indistinguishability by removing unwanted backgrounds. For filter bandwidths app…
Light Scattering from Solid-State Quantum Emitters: Beyond the Atomic Picture
Alistair J. Brash, Jake Iles-Smith, Catherine L. Phillips +8
Coherent scattering of light by a single quantum emitter is a fundamental process at the heart of many proposed quantum technologies. Unlike atomic systems, solid-state emitters co…
Effect of photonic spin-orbit coupling on the topological edge modes of a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain
C. E. Whittaker, E. Cancellieri, P. M. Walker +7
We study the effect of photonic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in micropillar lattices on the topological edge states of a one-dimensional chain with a zigzag geometry, corresponding to…
Tunable photon statistics exploiting the Fano effect in a waveguide
A. P. Foster, D. Hallett, I. V. Iorsh +9
A strong optical nonlinearity arises when coherent light is scattered by a semiconductor quantumdot (QD) coupled to a nano-photonic waveguide. We exploit the Fano effect in such a…
Spin domains in one-dimensional conservative polariton solitons
M. Sich, L. E. Tapia-Rodriguez, H. Sigurdsson +9
We report stable orthogonally polarised domains in high-density polariton solitons propagating in a semiconductor microcavity wire. This effect arises from spin dependent polariton…
