Single photons from dissipation in coupled cavities

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We propose a single-photon source based on a pair of weakly nonlinear optical cavities subject to a one-directional dissipative coupling. When both cavities are driven by mutually coherent fields, sub-Poissonian light is generated in the target cavity even ...

Simulation of FEL pulse length calculation with THz streaking method

Ishkhan Gorgisyan

Having accurate and comprehensive photon diagnostics for the X-ray pulses delivered by free-electron laser (FEL) facilities is of utmost importance. Along with various parameters of the photon beam (such as photon energy, beam intensity, etc.), the pulse l ...

Two-photon imaging through a multimode fiber

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Edgar Emilio Morales Delgado

In this work we demonstrate 3D imaging using two-photon excitation through a 20 cm long multimode optical fiber (MMF) of 350 mu m diameter. The imaging principle is similar to single photon fluorescence through a MMF, except that a focused femtosecond puls ...

Quantum Wire - Quantum Dot Systems Grown in Inverted Pyramids

Justyna Szeszko

Semiconductor quantum wires (QWRs) and quantum dots (QDs) are nanoscale heterostructures, which form fascinating low-dimensional systems for fundamental studies of quantum-mechanical effects and are attractive candidates for integration into optoelectronic ...

Nanophotonic technologies for single-photon devices

Laurent Balet, Francesco Marsili, Alessandro Gaggero

The progress in nanofabrication has made possible the realization of optic nanodevices able to handle single photons and to exploit the quantum nature of single-photon states. In particular, quantum cryptography (or more precisely quantum key distribution, ...

Nanoscale Optical Detector with Single-Photon and Multiphoton Sensitivity

Francis Lévy, Francesco Marsili, Alessandro Gaggero

We present the first nanoscale (down to approximate to 50 x 50 nm(2)) detector displaying single-photon sensitivity and a nanosecond response. This type of nanodetector can also be operated in multiphoton mode, where the detection threshold can be set at N ...

Single Photons from Coupled Quantum Modes

Vincenzo Savona, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

Single photon emitters often rely on a strong nonlinearity to make the behavior of a quantum mode susceptible to a change in the number of quanta between one and two. In most systems, the strength of nonlinearity is weak, such that changes at the single qu ...
