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 […]

Generation of Sound Bullets with a Nonlinear Acoustic Lens

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 […]

Deterministic generation of non-classical states of light using photon blockade

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, […]

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 […]
