Intense light-matter interaction beyond a unimolecular limit faces unique challenges. In this regime, light and matter both have a non-negligible effect on...
Atomic frequency comb, an atomic ensemble with comb shaped optical transition, is useful for multimode photonic quantum memory where a photon is absorbed collectively over the teeth of the comb resulting in a multipartite entangled state. The teeth of the comb constitute the individual subsystems participating in the entanglement. Since each tooth of the comb consists of a macroscopic number...
Attaining an isolated attosecond pulse via high harmonic generation requires a temporal gate that can act within one half cycle of the driving field. Here, we use the interplay of nonlinear optics and spatio-temporal coupling to synthesize a half-cycle pulse. The half cycle pulse is centered at 1.8 microns, the idler of an optical parametric amplifier, and is intense enough to generate...
An experimental lifetime of exceptional accuracy [9.573(4)(5) (stat)(sys)] has been reported by Lapierre et al. [1] for the $2p$ $^2P_{3/2}$ state of Ar$^{13+}$. This result is in good agreement with theory [2] when neglecting the effect of the anomalous magnetic moment (AMM), namely 9.582(2) ms, whereas the lifetime with the AMM correction is 9.538(2) ms, well outside the experimental...
Conventional imaging systems are limited in their optical resolution by diffraction. Thus, super-resolution techniques are required to overcome this limit. Many super-resolution techniques, such as structured illumination (SIM) [1,2], have been developed. However, these techniques often take advantage of linear optical processes and only a few techniques applicable to nonlinear optical...
We study field and radiation attributes of photonic nano-resonators composed of alternating metal and dielectric layers, known as hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs). HMMs offer the ability to confine light in ultra-small volumes and enhance its interaction with matter, thereby increasing the spontaneous emission rates of nearby photon emitters through the Purcell effect. It has been suggested...
Vortex beams form a class of beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). A single photon carries lħ OAM where l represents the OAM state and a beam with non-zero OAM state has a zero intensity at its centre and a helical phase wavefront.
Vortex beams have gained interest for their applications in optical manipulation, optical communication and quantum information [1-3]. In...
