Reconciling and Validating the Ashworth-Davies Doppler Shifts of a Translating Mirror

Ziv Roi-Cohen, Merav Kahn, Stefania Residori +2

We simplify the Ashworth-Davies special relativistic theory of a uniformly translating mirror with an arbitrary angle of incidence and direction of propagation in the non-relativis…

Femtometer Displacement Resolution with Phase-Insensitive Doppler Sensing

Bethany J. Little, Julián Martínez-Rincón, Umberto Bortolozzo +2

The measurement of extremely small displacements is of utmost importance, both for fundamental studies [1-4], and practical applications [5-7]. One way to estimate a small displace…

Berry phase of light Bragg-reflected by chiral liquid crystal media

Raouf Barboza, Umberto Bortolozzo, Stefania Residori +1

Berry phase is revealed for circularly polarized light when it is Bragg-reflected by a chiral liquid crystal medium of the same handedness. By using a chiral nematic layer we demon…

Non-Gaussian statistics and extreme waves in a nonlinear optical cavity

A. Montina, U. Bortolozzo, S. Residori +1

A unidirectional optical oscillator is built by using a liquid crystal light-valve that couples a pump beam with the modes of a nearly spherical cavity. For sufficiently high pump…

One-Dimensional Optical Wave Turbulence: Experiment and Theory

Jason Laurie, Umberto Bortolozzo, Sergey Nazarenko +1

We present a review of the latest developments in 1D OWT. Based on an original experimental setup that allows for the implementation of 1D OWT, we are able to show that an inverse…

Light self-trapping in a large cloud of cold atoms

Guillaume Labeyrie, Umberto Bortolozzo

We show that, for a near-resonant propagating beam, a large cloud of cold 87Rb atoms acts as a saturable Kerr medium and produces self-trapping of light. By side fluorescence imagi…
