Quantum cascade laser roadmap
Carlo Silvestri, Aleksandar D. RakiÄ, Dragan Indjin +46
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are unipolar semiconductor lasers first demonstrated in 1994. Since then, they have played a central role in advancing mid-infrared and terahertz phot…
Silica meta-optics: When high-performance does not need a high-index
Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri, Vitthal Mishra +3
Metasurfaces -- planar arrays of subwavelength nanostructures -- are typically realized with high-index dielectrics, while low-index platforms are often dismissed for their weaker…
Temporal solitons in active optical resonators
Dmitry Kazakov, Federico Capasso, Marco Piccardo
Solitons, as coherent structures that maintain their shape while traveling at constant velocity, are ubiquitous across various branches of physics, from fluid dynamics to quantum f…
Lasing on hybridized soliton frequency combs
Theodore P. Letsou, Dmitry Kazakov, Pawan Ratra +10
Coupling is an essential mechanism that drives complexity in natural systems, transforming single, non-interacting elements into intricate networks with rich physical properties. H…
