Theory and experiment of entanglement in a quasi-phase-matched two-crystal source
Daniel Ljunggren, Maria Tengner, Philip Marsden +1
We report new results regarding a source of polarization entangled photon-pairs created by the process of spontaneous parametric downconversion in two orthogonally oriented, period…

Ultrafast resonant optical scattering from single gold nanorods: Large nonlinearities and plasmon saturation
Matthew Pelton, Mingzhao Liu, Sungnam Park +2
We measure nonlinear optical scattering from individual Au nanorods excited by ultrafast laser pulses on resonance with their longitudinal plasmon mode. Isolating single rods remov…

Characterizing Quantum-Dot Blinking Using Noise Power Spectra
Matthew Pelton, David Grier, Philippe Guyot-Sionnest
Fluctuations in the fluorescence from macroscopic ensembles of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots have the spectral form of 1/f noise. The measured power spectral density reflect…
