Topological Dissipation in a Time-Multiplexed Photonic Resonator Network

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Christian Leefmans, Avik Dutt, James Williams, Luqi Yuan, Midya Parto | Summary: Topological phases feature robust edge states that are protected against the effects of defects and disorder. The robustness of these states presents opportunities to design technologies that are tolerant to fabrication errors and resilient to […]

Visual Vibration Tomography: Estimating Interior Material Properties from Monocular Video

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Berthy T. Feng, Alexander C. Ogren, Chiara Daraio, Katherine L. Bouman, | Summary: An object’s interior material properties, while invisible to the human eye, determine motion observed on its surface. We propose an approach that estimates heterogeneous material properties of an object from a monocular video of […]

Competing correlated states around the zero field Wigner crystallization transition of electrons in two-dimensions

Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Joseph Falson, Inti Sodemann, Brian Skinner, Daniela Tabrea, Yusuke Kozuka | Summary: The competition between kinetic energy and Coulomb interactions in electronic systems can lead to complex many-body ground states with competing superconducting, charge density wave, and magnetic orders. Here we study the low temperature phases of […]

Self-regulating soliton domain walls in microresonators

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Heming Wang, Boqiang Shen, Yan Yu, Zhiquan Yuan, Chengying Bao | Summary: Dissipative soliton Kerr frequency combs in microresonators have recently been demonstrated with the self-injection locking process. They have the advantage of turnkey deterministic comb generation and simplifying dark soliton generation in the normal dispersion regime. […]

Impact of Semiconductor Band Tails and Band Filling on Photovoltaic Efficiency Limits

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Joeson Wong, Stefan T. Omelchenko, Harry A. Atwater, , | Summary: The theoretical maximum efficiency of a solar cell is typically characterized by a detailed balance of optical absorption and emission for a semiconductor in the limit of unity radiative efficiency and an ideal step-function response […]
