Prospects for giant optical nonlinearity on a chip
Jaesuk Hwang, E. A. Hinds
We point out that individual organic dye molecules, deposited close to optical waveguides on a photonic chip, can act as single photon sources and can also provide localised, giant…
Coherent State Preparation and Observation of Rabi Oscillations in a Single Molecule
Ilja Gerhardt, Gert Wrigge, Gert Zumofen +3
We report on the excitation of single molecules via narrow zero-phonon transitions using short laser pulses. By monitoring the Stokes-shifted fluorescence, we studied the excited s…
Exploring the limits of single emitter detection in fluorescence and extinction
Gert Wrigge, Jaesuk Hwang, Ilja Gerhardt +2
We present an experimental comparison and a theoretical analysis of the signal-to-noise ratios in fluorescence and extinction spectroscopy of a single emitter. We show that extinct…
Efficient coupling of photons to a single molecule and the observation of its resonance fluorescence
Gert Wrigge, Ilja Gerhardt, Jaesuk Hwang +2
Single dye molecules at cryogenic temperatures display many spectroscopic phenomena known from free atoms and are thus promising candidates for fundamental quantum optical studies.…
