Interplay of simultaneous creation, annihilation, propagation, and relaxation of an excitation in molecular condensates interacting with an ultrashort quantum optical pulse is studied in general and specialized to a dimer. A microscopic…
Entangled photon pairs are key to many novel applications in quantum technologies. Semiconductor quantum dots can be used as sources of on-demand, highly entangled photons. The fidelity to a fixed maximally entangled state is limited by the…
We synthesize a thin film composed of long carbyne chains terminated by gold clusters and study its optical properties. The presence of gold particles stabilizes longer chains and leads to their alignment. We show that the gold clusters…
The room temperature liquid metal related electronics has been found important in a wide variety of emerging areas over the past few years. However, its failure features under high electrical current densities are not clear until now. Here…
The spectrophotometric characterization of high efficiency, optically-active samples such as light-emitting organic bulks and thin films can be problematic because their broad-band luminescence is detected together with the monochromatic…
The size of the band gap and the energy position of the band edges make several oxynitride semiconductors promising candidates for efficient hydrogen and oxygen production under solar light illumination. The intense research efforts…
Vapor deposition on polycrystalline films can lead to staggering levels of compressive stress, exceeding even the yield strength of the films. Mysteriously, a significant part of this stress has a reversible nature: it disappears when the…
Unravelling the nature of energy transport in multi-chromophoric photosynthetic complexes is essential to extract valuable design blueprints for light-harvesting applications. Long-range exciton transport in such systems is facilitated by a…
Actinide-based compounds exhibit unique physics due to the presence of 5f electrons, and serve in many cases as important technological materials. Targeted thin film synthesis of actinide materials has been successful in generating…
Synthetic materials are obtained by assembling atoms or artificial atoms into regular arrays, thereby forming artificial crystals that offer powerful platforms to emulate and explore condensed-matter phenomena in highly controlled settings.…
Light-matter interactions are known to lead to the formation of polariton states through what is called strong coupling, leading to the formation of two hybrid states usually tagged as Upper and Lower Polaritons. Here, we consider a similar…
We have theoretically investigated a generation of entangled photons from biexcitons in a semiconductor film with thickness in nano-to-bulk crossover regime. In contrast to the cases of quantum dots and bulk materials, we can highly control…
We report on the photophysics of a phenyl-substituted PPV both in solution and as a film. For both systems we have studied the decay of the photoluminescence and of the emission anisotropy for a large set of wavelengths spanning the entire…
Studying optical properties of organic materials is important due to the rapid development of organic light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and photon detectors. Here for the first time we have performed tight-binding calculations for singlet…
Amplified spontaneous emission is a common noise source in active optical systems, it is generally seen as being an incoherent process. Here we excite an ensemble of rare earth ion dopants in a solid with a {\pi}-pulse, resulting in…
Tin-phthalocyanine molecules adsorbed on a NaCl ultrathin film on Au(111) exhibit electrofluorescence excited by a current across a scanning tunneling microscope junction. Exploring the dependence of the molecular monomer photon yield on…
When a thin-film ring with supercurrent is irradiated by coherent microwave field, the field induces coherent oscillations of all the Cooper pairs involved in the supercurrent. The oscillating charged condensate will emit photons with…
We consider the scenario of excitons in a semiconductor bilayer that are strongly coupled to cavity photons, leading to the formation of dipolar exciton polaritons (dipolaritons). Using a realistic pseudopotential for the dipolar…
Electron-electron interactions in general lead to both ground state and excited state confinement. We show, however, that in phenyl-substituted polyacetylenes electron-electron interactions cause enhanced delocalization of quasiparticles in…
Actively tunable photonic devices are vital for next-generation optoelectronics requiring rapid switching and high bandwidth. Although organic optoelectronic devices have found wide application, their use as optical modulators has been…
