When a contaminant diffuses on the surface of a nanomechanical resonator, the motions of the two become correlated. Despite being a high-order effect in the resonator-particle coupling, such correlations affect the system dynamics by…
Wavelength-sized microdisk resonators were fabricated on a single crystalline 4H-silicon-carbide-oninsulator platform (4H-SiCOI). By carrying out microphotoluminescence measurements at room temperature, we show that the microdisk resonators…
A high-quality quantum dot (QD) single-photon source is a key resource for quantum information processing. Exciting a QD emitter resonantly can greatly suppress decoherence processes and lead to highly indistinguishable single-photon…
The propagation of short lightpulses in waveguiding structures with optical feedback, in our case optical microresonators, has been studied theoretically and experimentally. It appears that, dependent on the measurement set-up, ballistic…
We propose a general framework to effectively `open' a high-Q resonator, that is, to release the quantum state initially prepared in it in the form of a traveling electromagnetic wave. This is achieved by employing a mediating mode that…

We present a new class of high-Q tunable microresonators formed at the intersection of two straight silica optical fibers, whose free spectral range (FSR) can be widely tuned by fiber rotation. The proposed configuration avoids the…
We model the behaviour of a single colloid embedded in a cross-linked polymer gel, immersed in a viscous background fluid. External fields actuate the particle into a periodic motion, which deforms the embedding matrix and creates a local…
Diffractively coupled nanoparticle arrays are promising candidates for helping to flatten many photonic devices such as lasers, lenses, and metrology instruments. Their performance, however, is directly linked with the size of the…
We present a novel design of optical micro-cavity where the optical energy resides primarily in free space, therefore is readily accessible to foreign objects such as atoms, molecules, mechanical resonators, etc. We describe the physics of…
In this paper we experimentally demonstrated a broadband microwave scheme suitable for the multiresonator quan- tum memory-interface. The microwave scheme consists of the system of composed mini-resonators strongly inter- acting with a…

Separating the influence of hyperfine from spin-orbit interactions in spin-dependent carrier recombination and dissociation processes necessitates magnetic resonance spectroscopy over a wide range of frequencies. We have designed compact…
Optical systems often consist largely of empty space, as diffraction effects that occur through free-space propagation can be crucial to their function. Contracting these voids offers a path to the miniaturisation of a wide range of optical…
