Three-dimensional confinement of light in photonic crystals without bandgaps
Manxi Shi, Sachin Vaidya, Ali Ghorashi +2
We demonstrate that confinement of light in three dimensions is possible in photonic crystals without a complete photonic bandgap. Our approach exploits symmetry-protected quadrati…
Hybrid Nanophotonic Scintillators for Enhanced X-ray Absorption, Emission, and Time Resolution
Seou Choi, Sachin Vaidya, Avner Shultzman +3
Scintillators convert ionizing radiation into visible photons, enabling applications from cosmic ray detection to medical imaging. Two independent strategies for improving scintill…
Long-range entanglement and quantum correlations in a multi-frequency comb system
Sahil Pontula, Debasmita Banerjee, Marin Soljacic +1
Frequency combs are multimode photonic systems that underlie countless precision sensing and metrology applications. Since their invention over two decades ago, numerous efforts ha…
Probing intensity noise in ultrafast pulses using the dispersive Fourier transform augmented by quantum sensitivity analysis
Shiekh Zia Uddin, Sahil Pontula, Jiaxin Liu +4
To reach the next frontier in multimode nonlinear optics, it is crucial to better understand the classical and quantum phenomena of systems with many interacting degrees of freedom…
Observing the dynamics of quantum states generated inside nonlinear optical cavities
Seou Choi, Yannick Salamin, Charles Roques-Carmes +3
Quantum states at optical frequencies are often generated inside cavities to facilitate strong nonlinear interactions. However, measuring these quantum states with traditional homo…
