Specific features of nonlinear interference processes at quantum transitions in near- and fully-resonant optically-dense Doppler-broadened medium are studied. The feasibility of overcoming of the fundamental limitation on a…
A substantial increase in local laser intensity is observed in the near field behind a plasma shutter.This increase is caused by the interference of the diffracted light at the relativistic plasma aperture and it is studied both…
Phase-sensitive amplification of squeezed states is a technique to mitigate high detection loss, e.g. at 2-micrometre wavelengths. Our analytical model of amplified squeezed states expands on the effect of phase noise and derives two…
The absorption of thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon layers can be efficiently enhanced through a controlled periodic patterning. Light is trapped through coupling with photonic Bloch modes of the periodic structures, which act as an…
The need for molecular standoff detection has motivated the development of a remotely pumped, high gain air laser that produces lasing in the backward direction and can sample the air as the beam returns. High gain is achieved in the near…
We show that anomalous dispersion characteristic of fast-light can be used to enhance the sensitivity of optical interferometry under certain conditions. In particular, we show that a dual-chamber Fabry-Perot interferometer with a shared…
We demonstrate experimental exploration of the attractor diagram of an optomechanical system where the optical forces compensate for the mechanical losses. In this case stable self-induced oscillations occur but only for specific mirror…
Laser-driven acceleration holds great promise for significantly improving accelerating gradient. However, scaling the conventional process of structure-based acceleration in vacuum down to optical wavelengths requires a substantially…
The observation of photoluminescence (PL) or achieve lasing modes in alcohol solutions of dyes or other media (silica glass fibers), doped in small quantities by certain active working elements, which are dipped in the environment, do not…
The recently demonstrated control over light distribution through turbid media based on real-time three-dimensional optoacoustic feedback has offered promising prospects to interferometrically focus light within scattering objects.…
We present an efficient method for computing lightcurves of an elliptical source which is microlensed by a point mass. The amplification of an extended source involves a two-dimensional integral over its surface brightness distribution. We…
A new mechanism for the THz light amplification is identified ina non-resonant Raman scattering between the THz light and a visible light lasers. The non-resonant scattering normally does not exchange the energy between E \&M fields, but…
The total magnification due to a point lens has been of particular interest as the theorem that gravitational lensing results in light amplification for all observers appears to contradict the conservation of photon number. This has been…
Stimulated optical forces offer a simple and efficient method for providing optical forces far in excess of the saturated radiative force. The bichromatic force, using a counterpropagating pair of two-color beams, has so far been the most…
A theoretical approach for the interpretation of reflectance spectra of opal photonic crystals with fcc structure and (111) surface orientation is presented. It is based on the calculation of photonic bands and density of states…
High-brightness coherent light source is at the heart of optical technology and yet challenging to achieve. Here, we propose an unconventional approach that utilizes the "forbidden chemical" in optical thermodynamics to convert any incoming…
We consider light propagation through a ballistic amplifying photonic honeycomb lattice below the lasing threshold. Two sublattices of the system are formed by the wave-guides with different complex dielectric permittivities, which results…
We have performed angle-resolved measurements of spontaneous-emission spectra from laser dyes and quantum dots in opal and inverse opal photonic crystals. Pronounced directional dependencies of the emission spectra are observed: angular…
Controlling the intensity distribution of laser pulses in the focal region is essential for optimizing optically generated plasma waveguides and enabling advanced plasma acceleration techniques, including dephasingless wakefield…
Due to their ability to confine light, optical resonators are of great importance to science and technology, yet their performances are often limited by out-of-plane scattering losses from inevitable fabrication imperfections. Here, we…
