Localized Photon Lasing in a Polaritonic Lattice Landscape

Daniel Oberli, Marcia Portella Oberli, Fauzia Jabeen, Morteza Navadeh Toupchi

Periodic photonic structures have attracted much interest due to their versatility for controlling light propagation. The dispersion of photon modes in photonic lattices exhibits an energy band structure analo-gous to the electronic one in crystals. An imp ...

Radiative cooling of carbon cluster anions C-2n+1(-) (n=3-5)

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Radiative cooling of carbon cluster anions C(2n+1)(-)C2n+1- (n = 3-5) is investigated using the cryogenic electrostatic ion storage ring DESIREE. Two different strategies are applied to infer infrared emission on slow (milliseconds to seconds) and ultraslo ...

Narrow-band and tunable intense terahertz pulses for mode-selective coherent phonon excitation

Christian Rüegg

We generate frequency-tunable narrow-band intense fields in the terahertz (THz) range by optical rectification of a temporally modulated near-infrared laser pumping a nonlinear organic crystal. Carrier-frequency tunability between 0.5 and 6.5THz is achieve ...

Resonant Waveguide Gratings for Color-Selective Diffraction

Giorgio Quaranta

Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR) gratings or waveguide-mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these resonant diffractive elements benefit from lateral leaky guided modes and can operate from UV t ...
