Dynamically reconfigurable THz quantum walk comb laser through subharmonic excitation

Valerio Digiorgio, Robert Matthew Gray, Marco Raffa +5

On-chip frequency combs are increasingly relevant to both laser science and applications. Broad bandwidths and flat-top spectral envelopes are especially desirable for precision sp…

Amplitude- and frequency-modulated combs from an actively locked metasurface external-cavity laser

Marco Raffa, Jordane Bloomfield, Yu Wu +5

Optical frequency combs are key components of several photonics applications including spectroscopy, communications, and ultrafast photonics. A central challenge in frequency-comb…

Time-resolved spectroscopy of noise-driven collective states of light

Diego Piciocchi, Ina Heckelmann, Alexander Dikopoltsev +6

We study a collective liquid state of light in a fast-gain laser. Controlled temporal noise on the cavity modulation creates a fluctuating linear potential along the synthetic freq…

Ultrafast Non-Hermitian Skin Effect

Barbara Schneider, Alexander Dikopoltsev, Markus Bestler +5

Topological phases of matter commonly feature protected states at their boundaries. Transferring this protection to time-metamaterials is extremely challenging, as it requires the…

Non-Hermitian topology and skin modes in the continuum via parametric processes

Markus Bestler, Alexander Dikopoltsev, Oded Zilberberg

We demonstrate that Hermitian, nonlocal parametric pairing processes can induce non-Hermitian topology and skin modes, offering a simple alternative to complex bath engineering. Ou…
