In this study, we demonstrated the direct use of an inherently narrowband backward wave in the mid-infrared for CO$_2$ and H$_2$O vapor spectroscopy in ambient air. This wave is generated in a backward wave optical parametric oscillator…
Phase-matched nonlinear processes exhibit a tradeoff between the conversion efficiency and the acceptance bandwidth. Adiabatic nonlinear processes, in which the phase mismatch varies slowly along the interaction length, enable us to…
We demonstrate superluminal light propagation using two frequency multiplexed pump beams to produce a gain doublet in a photorefractive crystal of Ce:BaTiO3. The two gain lines are obtained by two-wave mixing between a probe field and two…
Radiative cooling has recently revived due to its significant potential as an environmentally friendly cooling technology. However, the design of particle-matrix cooling nanocomposites was generally carried out via tedious trial-and-error…
We developed a lattice dynamical theory of an atomically-thin compressional piezoelectric resonator. Acoustic and optical dynamic displacement response functions are derived and account for frequency-dependent electromechanical coupling.…
Experimental measurements of the second order susceptibilities for the second harmonic generation are reported for YAl3(BO3)4 (YAB) single crystals for the two principal tensor components xyz and yyy. First principles calculation of the…
We present an ultrafast fiber laser system delivering 4.6 W average power at 258 nm based on two-stage fourth-harmonic generation in beta barium borate (BBO). The beam quality is close to diffraction limited with an M2- value of 1.3 x 1.6.…
The reflectance of single crystal LaSrGaO4 has been measured from approx 50 to 40000 cm^-1 along the "a" and "c" axis. The optical properties have been calculated from a Kramers-Kronig analysis of the reflectance for both polarizations. The…
It is demonstrated that sonic crystals (periodic structures of sound scatterers) can be used to design acoustic barriers that attenuate efficiently broadband noise. Traffic noise is chosen here as an example in which our design procedure is…
A theoretical modeling of the oxygen diffusivity in silicon and germanium crystals both at normal and high hydrostatic pressure has been carried out using molecular mechanics, semiempirical and ab initio methods. It was established that the…
The thermal conductivities of beta-Ga2O3 single crystals along four different crystal directions were measured in the temperature range of 80-495K using the time domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) method. A large anisotropy was found. At room…
We present a study on the crystallization process of undoped and Ta doped TiO2 amorphous thin films. In particular, the effect of ultra-fast annealing treatments in environments characterized by different oxygen concentrations is…
We compute the impact of dark energy at last scattering on measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs). We show that an early dark energy component can contribute a systematic uncertainty to BAO measurements of up to 2.5%. Whilst…
The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the Fourier transform of that object. When arrayed in a crystal, the coherent sum of the…
This paper presents significant frequency scaling of acoustic filter technology to 50 GHz. This achievement is enabled by the P3F LiNbO3 multilayer stack, in which piezoelectric thin-films of alternating orientations are transferred in…
The extreme electro-optical contrast between crystalline and amorphous states in phase change materials is routinely exploited in optical data storage and future applications include universal memories, flexible displays, reconfigurable…
Solid-state materials with high ionic conduction are necessary to many technologies including all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. Understanding how crystal structure dictates ionic diffusion is at the root of the development of fast ionic…
Because of its exceptionally large Pockels coefficient, barium titanate (BaTiO$_3$) is a promising material for various photonic applications at both room and cryogenic temperatures, including electro-optic modulation, frequency comb…
Whispering gallery modes in birefringent crystalline resonators are investigated. We experimentally investigate the XY--cut resonators made with LiNbO$_3$, LiTaO$_3$ and BBO and observe strong influence of the resonator's shape and…
We performed an optical spectroscopy measurement on single crystals of $\mathrm{Ba_2Ti_2Fe_2As_4O}$, which is a newly discovered superconductor showing a coexistence of superconductivity and density wave order. The study reveals a spectral…
