Polarisation control for optical nanofibres by imaging through a single lens
Georgiy Tkachenko, Fuchuan Lei, Síle Nic Chormaic
We present a simple method for controlling the polarisation state of light at the waist of a single-mode optical nanofibre. The method consists of complete polarisation compensatio…
Generation of cold Rydberg atoms at submicron distances from an optical nanofiber
Krishnapriya Subramonian Rajasree, Tridib Ray, Kristoffer Karlsson +2
We report on a controllable, hybrid quantum system consisting of cold Rydberg atoms and an optical nanofiber interface. Using a two-photon ladder-type excitation in Rb, we d…
Plasmonic Optical Tweezers based on Nanostructures: fundamentals, advances and prospects
Domna G. Kotsifaki, Síle Nic Chormaic
The ability of metallic nanostructures to confine light at the sub-wavelength scale enables new perspectives and opportunities in the field of nanotechnology. Making use of this un…
Complete polarization control for a nanofiber waveguide using directional coupling
Fuchuan Lei, Georgiy Tkachenko, Jonathan M. Ward +1
Optical nanofiber waveguides are widely used for near-field delivery and measurement of light. Despite their versatility and efficiency, nanofibers have a critical drawback - their…
