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. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Keith Schwab | First 5 Authors: Kin Chung Fong, Keith Schwab, , , | Summary: Graphene is a material with remarkable electronic properties and exceptional thermal transport properties near room temperature, which have been well examined and understood. However at very low temperatures the thermodynamic and thermal transport properties are much less well […]

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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Spadoni, Chiara Daraio, , , | Summary: Acoustic lenses are employed in a variety of applications, from biomedical imaging and surgery, to defense systems, but their performance is limited by their linear operational envelope and complexity. Here we show a dramatic focusing effect and the generation […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Andrei Faraon, Arka Majumdar, Jelena Vuckovic, , | Summary: The generation of non-classical states of light via photon blockade with time-modulated input is analyzed. We show that improved single photon statistics can be obtained by adequately choosing the parameters of the driving laser pulses. An alternative method, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Andrei Faraon, Jelena Vuckovic, , , | Summary: We demonstrate a method to locally control the temperature of photonic crystal devices via micron-scale electrical heaters. The method is used to control the resonant frequency of InAs quantum dots strongly coupled to GaAs photonic crystal resonators. This technique […]

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 […]
