Omni-resonant optical micro-cavity
Soroush Shabahang, H. Esat Kondakci, Massimo L. Villinger +3
Optical cavities are a cornerstone of photonics. They are indispensable in lasers, optical filters, optical combs and clocks, in quantum physics, and have enabled the detection of…
Basis-neutral Hilbert-space analyzers
Lane Martin, Davood Mardani, H. Esat Kondakci +7
Interferometry is one of the central organizing principles of optics. Key to interferometry is the concept of optical delay, which facilitates spectral analysis in terms of time-ha…
Lattice topology dictates photon statistics
H. Esat Kondakci, Ayman F. Abouraddy, Bahaa E. A. Saleh
Propagation of coherent light through a disordered network is accompanied by randomization and possible conversion into thermal light. Here, we show that network topology plays a d…
A photonic thermalization gap in disordered lattices
H. E. Kondakci, A. F. Abouraddy, B. E. A. Saleh
The formation of gaps -- forbidden ranges in the values of a physical parameter -- is a ubiquitous feature of a variety of physical systems: from energy bandgaps of electrons in pe…
Sub-thermal to super-thermal light statistics from a disordered lattice via deterministic control of excitation symmetry
H. E. Kondakci, A. Szameit, A. F. Abouraddy +2
Monochromatic coherent light traversing a disordered photonic medium evolves into a random field whose statistics are dictated by the disorder level. Here we demonstrate experiment…
Hanbury Brown and Twiss anticorrelation in disordered photonic lattices
H. Esat Kondakci, Lane Martin, Robert Keil +5
We report measurements of Hanbury Brown and Twiss correlation of coherent light transmitted through disordered one-dimensional photonic lattices. Although such a lattice exhibits t…
