Hybrid integration of two-dimensional dichalcogenides for low power saturable absorption in photonic integrated circuits

Maria Carolina Volpato, Gustavo H. Magro, Antonio A. G. Von Zuben +3

Silicon photonics provides a versatile platform for large-scale integration of optical functions, but its weak intrinsic nonlinear response limits the realization of active, intens…

1T'-MoTe as an integrated saturable absorber for photonic machine learning

Maria Carolina Volpato, Henrique G. Rosa, Tom Reep +2

We investigate the saturable absorption behavior of a 1T'-MoTe monolayer integrated with a silicon nitride waveguide for applications in photonic neural networks. Using experim…

Broadband photonic structures to achieve high coupling efficiencies and Purcell factors with dark and interlayer excitons in 2D materials

Maria Carolina Volpato, Kalebe B. Estevam, Marcelo I. Davanco +1

Horizontal slot waveguides are planar photonic structures with a guided mode which is strongly polarized in the out-of-plane direction and tightly confined in a sub-wavelength regi…

Inducing micromechanical motion by optical excitation of a single quantum dot

Jan Kettler, Nitika Vaish, Laure Mercier de Lépinay +11

Hybrid quantum optomechanical systems offer an interface between a single two-level system and a macroscopical mechanical degree of freedom. In this work, we build a hybrid system…

Optical force laws for guided light in linear media

Thales F. D. Fernandes, Pierre-Louis de Assis

The mechanical response of transparent materials to optical forces is a topic that concerns a wide range of fields, from the manipulation of biological material by optical tweezers…
