Higher-order defect mode laser in an optically thick photonic crystal slab

Kavli Affiliate: Axel Scherer | First 5 Authors: Se-Heon Kim, Jingqing Huang, Axel Scherer, , | Summary: The use of an optically thick slab may provide versatile solutions for the realization of a current injection type laser using photonic crystals. Here, we show that a transversely higher-order defect mode can be designed to be confined […]

Large-field-of-view Chip-scale Talbot-grid-based Fluorescence Microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. Sternberg | First 5 Authors: Shuo Pang, Chao Han, Mihoko Kato, Paul W. Sternberg, Changhuei Yang | Summary: The fluorescence microscope is one of the most important tools in modern clinical diagnosis and biological science. However, its expense, size and limited field-of-view (FOV) are becoming bottlenecks in key applications such as […]

High-Q impurity photon states bounded by a photonic-band-pseudogap in an optically-thick photonic-crystal slab

Kavli Affiliate: Axel Scherer | First 5 Authors: Se-Heon Kim, Andrew Homyk, Sameer Walavalkar, Axel Scherer, | Summary: We show that, taking a two-dimensional photonic-crystal slab system as an example, surprisingly high quality factors (Q) over 10^5 are achievable, even in the absence of a rigorous photonic-band-gap. We find that the density of in-plane Bloch […]

Design and Construction of Absorption Cells for Precision Radial Velocities in the K Band using Methane Isotopologues

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan S. Lewis | First 5 Authors: Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Peter Plavchan, Sean Mills, Peter Gao, Edgardo García-Berríos | Summary: We present a method to optimize absorption cells for precise wavelength calibration in the near-infrared. We apply it to design and optimize methane isotopologue cells for precision radial velocity measurements in the K band. […]

A photonic crystal nanocavity laser in an optically very thick slab

Kavli Affiliate: Axel Scherer | First 5 Authors: Se-Heon Kim, Jingqing Huang, Axel Scherer, , | Summary: A photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavity formed in an optically very thick slab can support reasonably high-Q modes for lasing. Experimentally, we demonstrate room-temperature pulsed lasing operation from the PhC dipole mode emitting at 1324 nm, which is fabricated […]

Nonlinear Quantum Dynamics

Kavli Affiliate: Keith Schwab | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, Tanmoy Bhattacharya, Andrew Doherty, Benjamin Greenbaum, Asa Hopkins | Summary: The vast majority of the literature dealing with quantum dynamics is concerned with linear evolution of the wave function or the density matrix. A complete dynamical description requires a full understanding of the evolution of […]
