we present a detailed study of the spinel CdEr2Se4 and show it to be a new instance of spin ice, the first one in an erbium material and the first one in a spinel. Definitive experimental evidence comes from the temperature dependence of the magnetic entro ...
In QFT, the null energy condition (NEC) for a classical field configuration is usually associated with that configuration's stability against small perturbations, and with the sub-luminality of these. Here, we exhibit an effective field theory that allows ...
The dispersive properties of waves are strongly affected by inevitable residual disorder in man-made propagating media, in particular in the slow wave regime. By a direct measurement of the dispersion curve in k space, we show that the nature of the guided ...
The optical properties within limited volumes of diffusive media can be probed by carrying spatially-resolved measurements of diffused light at short source-detector separation (typically one scattering mean free path). At such distance, analytical models ...
The extraordinary light transmission effect (EOT) through sub-wavelength nanoapertures in opaque metal films has lead to observation of a wide variety of exciting new optical phenomena. This remarkable effect is generally related to the interaction of the ...
Fiber slow light systems are at a turning point moving from a laboratory research to real applications. The possibility to shape the spectral resonance in Brillouin slow light leads to optimized configurations and innovative solutions. ...
Our goal is to develop motorway traffic risks identification models using disaggregate traffic data, meteorological data and crash database for a study site at a two-lane-per-direction section on motorway A1 in Urtenen-Schönbühl, Switzerland. We define tra ...
The absorption of light by a gas molecule has been measured comparatively using light propagating in normal conditions and in a slow light regime. The experiment is designed to make the 2 measurements possible without modifying the interaction conditions, ...
We demonstrate that the tunable potential introduced by a surface acoustic wave on a homogeneous polariton condensate leads to fragmentation of the condensate into an array of wires which move with the acoustic velocity. Reduction of the spatial coherence ...
Dynamic control of the speed of a light signal, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers, was theoretically studied and also experimentally demonstrated as the core object of this thesis. To date, slow light based on stimulated Brillouin ...
