  1. Extreme Space-Time Optics & Quantum Meta-Photonics 



    16 Feb 2024 | | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev

    We first discuss all-optical modulation with single photons using electron avalanche, resulting in record-high nonlinearities. Then we show that transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) operating in the near-zero index (NZI) regime can provide strong single-cycle modulation, thus enabling novel...

  4. Golden Opportunities: Gold Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

    14 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Catherine J. Murphy

    In this talk I will discuss how these nanoparticles are prepared, how their surface chemistry can be tuned, how apparent cytotoxicity can be traced back to reagents in the synthesis rather than the particles per se, how protein orientation can be controlled on their surfaces, how cells respond...

  5. Covalent Defects of Carbon Nanotubes: New Class of High Purity, Indistinguishable Quantum Light Sources

    02 Jan 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Han Htoon

    Finally, I will report our most recent Hong-Ou-Mandel quantum optic experiment performed on quantum defects coupled to plasmonic cavities.  We were able to realize indistinguishable single photon generation by exploiting the Purcell enhancement of the radiative decay rate of individual...

    07 Jun 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev

    We discuss an unorthodox way to overcome quantum decoherence by using plasmonics that can speed up quantum processes to the extent that they outpace and thus become immune to decoherence.
