Second-harmonic generation from coupled plasmon modes in a single dimer of gold nanospheres
A. Slablab, L. Le Xuan, M. Zielinski +4
We show that a dimer made of two gold nanospheres exhibits a remarkable efficiency for second-harmonic generation under femtosecond optical excitation. The detectable nonlinear emi…
Illustration of quantum complementarity using single photons interfering on a grating
V. Jacques, N. D. Lai, A. Dreau +5
A recent experiment performed by S. S. Afshar et al. has been interpreted as a violation of Bohr's complementarity principle between interference visibility and which-path informat…
Enhancing single-molecule photostability by optical feedback from quantum-jump detection
Vincent Jacques, John Murray, François Marquier +4
We report an optical technique that yields an enhancement of single-molecule photostability, by greatly suppressing photobleaching pathways which involve photoexcitation from the t…
Balanced homodyne detection in second-harmonic generation microscopy
Loc Le Xuan, François Marquier, Dominique Chauvat +6
We demonstrate the association of two-photon nonlinear microscopy with balanced homodyne detection for investigating second harmonic radiation properties at nanoscale dimensions. V…
Demonstration of an optical polarization magnifier with low birefringence
Michel Lintz, Jocelyne Guena, Marie-Anne Bouchiat +1
In any polarimetric measurement technique, enhancing the laser polarization change of a laser beam before it reaches the analyzer can help in improving the sensitivity. This can be…
