Experimental evidence of mode-selective evanescent power coupling at telecommunication frequencies with efficiencies up to 75 % from a tapered optical fiber to a carefully designed metal nanoparticle plasmon waveguide is presented. The…
The evanescent field outside an optical nanofiber (ONF) can create optical traps for neutral atoms. We present a non-destructive method to characterize such trapping potentials. An off-resonance linearly polarized probe beam that propagates…
Various optical ultrasound microsensors have been developed with size ranging from tens to hundreds of micrometers. However, it becomes challenging to further minimize these sensors' size. In this work, we proposed a method that use a…
We propose a serrated ultra-broadband infrared absorber based on the multi-layer repetitive stacking of indium tin oxide (ITO) and silicon materials. This absorber achieves continuously tunable absorption within a wide infrared light range.…
Ultrathin plasmonic films that approach the trans-dimensional (TD) thickness limit provide a promising route for light_matter interaction control and manipulation, yet their nonlinear optical response near the epsilon_near_zero (ENZ)…
We report superconductivity induced in films of the non-superconducting, antiferromagnetic parent material FeTe by low temperature oxygen incorporation in a reversible manner. X-ray absorption shows that oxygen doping changes the nominal Fe…
Highly efficient coupling of photons from nanoemitters into single-mode optical fibers is demonstrated using tapered fibers. 7.4 +/- 1.2 % of the total emitted photons from single CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals were coupled into a 300-nm-diameter…
We experimentally and numerically investigate Raman-driven power depletion in the fundamental mode of few-mode fibers (FMFs) excited by visible ultrashort pulses. Using a tunable femtosecond laser and SMF-28 fibers operated below the…
We report a novel optical waveguide design of a hollow step index fiber modified with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). We show an excitation of highly confined waveguide mode in the proposed fiber near the wavelength where…
Nonlinear interactions between ultrashort optical waveforms and solids can be used to induce and steer electric current on a femtosecond (fs) timescale, holding promise for electronic signal processing at PHz frequencies [Nature 493, 70…
Optical nanofibres are increasingly being used in cold atom experiments due to their versatility and the clear advantages they have when developing all-fibred systems for quantum technologies. They provide researchers with a method of…
We re-examine real-time holography for all-optical structuring of light and optical computation using a contemporary material: a subwavelength-thick, spatially unstructured film of indium tin oxide (ITO). When excited by spatially…
Exploring novel materials with enhanced optical nonlinearities at low power levels with ultrafast response and small footprints is of great interests for information processing, communication, sensing and quantum systems. Recent progress on…
At the first glance, the expression "transparent superconductor" may seem an oxymoron. Still, the first principle calculations and experiments show that the materials that behave as superconductors at low frequencies and do not absorb in…
We demonstrate a novel approach for routing guided single photons by combining atom trapping and transverse light confinement with an optical nanofiber. The direction of photon propagation, either reflection or transmission, is controlled…
Using a trapped quintessence model, a series of time-of-flight (TOF) experiments with a different frequency of probe light were designed and performed. The varying-frequency TOF (VFTOF) experiments demonstrated that the fall acceleration of…
Optical nanofibers confine light to subwavelength scales, and are of interest for the design, integration, and interconnection of nanophotonic devices. Here we demonstrate high transmission (> 97%) of the first family of excited modes…
Saturable absorption is a non-perturbative nonlinear optical phenomenon that plays a pivotal role in the generation of ultrafast light pulses. Here we show that this effect emerges in graphene at unprecedentedly low light intensities, thus…
Multimode nonlinear optics offers to overcome a long-standing limitation of fiber optics, tightly phase locking several spatial modes and enabling the coherent transport of a wavepacket through a multimode fiber. A similar problem is…
We present a novel fiber-optic component, a "tapered multi-core fiber (MCF)", designed for integration into ultra-miniaturized endoscopes for minimally invasive two-photon point-scanning imaging and to address the power delivery issue that…
