We demonstrate an efficient numerical scheme for the computation of the excitonic optical response of actual GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wire structures including a large set of relevant effects; structural, valence band-mixing, dielectric and many-body effects ca ...

Hyper Rayleigh scattering in solution is used for the determination of the first order hyperpolarizability b(colloid) of gold colloids in the size range 5–22 nm; these hyperpolarizabilities are found to range from 0.60 × 10–25 esu for 5 nm diameter colloid ...
The strong coupling of excitons and photons inside a semiconductor microcavity forms a trap in k-space for the coupled polaritons. This trap produces new behaviour from the strong parametric scattering of polaritons on the walls of the trap, from condensat ...
Most of the known methods to measure the nonlinear optical properties of materials deal with the bulk properties, but there are many demanding applications that require those measurements to be done on a single particle or a single molecule. We report a no ...
Most of the known self-assembly processes occur in solution, where nanosized objects interact each other forming new structures. Their real-time characterization in terms of the size and optical properties of these objects is vital for understanding those ...
An investigation of the parametric amplification and its coherent control in a semiconductor micro-cavity is presented. The time and angle resolved pump and probe experiments show that several ps after pumping parametric scattering is still phase coherent. ...
We present a numerical study of the tunability properties of a plasmonic subwavelength particle deposited on a metallic slab. The particle is composed of a metallic part, supporting a localized plasmon mode, separated from the slab by a dielectric spacer. ...
Polaritons are half-matter half-light quasiparticles, arising, in a two-dimensional semiconductor microcavity, from the strong-coupling between an exciton (an elementary electronic excitation of a crystal) and a photon. This thesis presents the fabrication ...
Optical parametric oscillator including a semiconductor microcavity being configured to spatially localize polaritons of at least three quantized polariton energy levels to effect an optical parametric oscillation. ...
The in-coupling process for grating-coupled planar optical waveguide sensors is investigated in the case of TE waves. A simple analytical model based on the Rayleigh-Fourier-Kiselev method is applied to take into account the depth of the grating coupler, w ...
