Nonreciprocal Phonon Laser

Y. Jiang, S. Maayani, T. Carmon +2

We propose nonreciprocal phonon lasing in a coupled cavity system composed of an optomechanical and a spinning resonator. We show that the optical Sagnac effect leads to significan…

Cavity Optofluidics: Raman Laser Made of a Fiber Coupled nano-Liter Droplet

Shai Maayani, Tal Carmon

We fabricate a fiber coupled ultrahigh-Q resonator from a μdroplet per se; and experimentally measure stimulated Raman emission showing itself at a 160μW threshold. We observe Rama…

Fluidic vortices generated from optical vortices in a microdroplet cavity

Daniel Bar-David, Shai Maayani, Leoplodo L. Martin +1

We harness the momentum of light resonating inside a micro-droplet cavity, to experimentally generate micro-flows within the envelope of the drop. We 3D map these optically induced…

Water Fibers

Mark L. Douvidzon, Shai Maayani, Leopoldo L. Martin +1

Fibers constitute the backbone of modern communication and are used in laser surgeries; fibers also genarate coherent X-ray, guided-sound and supercontinuum. In contrast, fibers fo…

Level-crossing and modal structure in microdroplet resonators

Sarah T. Attar, Vladimir Shuvayev, Lev Deych +2

We fabricate a liquid-core liquid-clad microcavity that is coupled to a standard tapered fiber, and then experimentally map the whispering-gallery modes of this droplet resonator.…

Ripplon Laser

Samuel Kaminski, Leopoldo L. Martin, Shai Maayani +1

Energy exchange between light and sound was first suggested by Brillouin in 1922. After Townes established the phonon maser theory, coherent generation of intense hypersonic waves…
