Infrared Single-Photon Detector based on Silicon Two-Photon Absorption
Alex Hayat, Pavel Ginzburg, Meir Orenstein
We propose a scheme for infrared single-photon detection based on two-photon absorption at room-temperature in Si avalanche photodiodes, where the detected photon's energy is lower…

Surface Plasmon Polariton Self-Focusing by Ponderomotive Forces
Pavel Ginzburg, Alex Hayat, Eyal Feigenbaum +2
Nonlinear properties of Surface Plasmon Polaritons stemming from the inherent electron plasma nonlinearity of the metal layers are investigated. A fluid-mechanics plasma model is u…

Two-Photon Emission from Semiconductors
Alex Hayat, Pavel Ginzburg, Meir Orenstein
We report the first experimental observations of two-photon emission from semiconductors, to the best of our knowledge, and develop a corresponding theory for the room-temperature…
