We demonstrate a compact and versatile laser system for stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SRS). The system is based on a tunable continuous wave (CW) probe laser combined with a home-built semi-monolithic nanosecond pulsed pump Nd:YVO4 laser…
Lasers based on Cr$^{2+}$-doped II-VI material, often known as the Ti:Sapphire of the mid-infrared, can directly provide few-cycle pulses with super-octave-spanning spectra, and serve as efficient drivers for generating broadband…
By design access to laser wavelength, especially with integrated photonics, is critical to advance quantum sensors like optical clocks and quantum-information systems, and open opportunities in optical communication. Semiconductor-laser…
The parametric phase-locked oscillator (PPLO), also known as a parametron, is a resonant circuit in which one of the reactances is periodically modulated. It can detect, amplify, and store binary digital signals in the form of two distinct…
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors operate with high optical power in their arms in order to achieve high shot-noise limited strain sensitivity. A significant limitation to increasing the optical power is the phenomenon of…
We report generation and measurement of a squeezed vacuum from a semi-monolithic Fabry-Perot optical parametric oscillator (OPO) up to 100 MHz at 1550 nm. The output coupler of the OPO is a flat surface of a nonlinear crystal with partially…
We study theoretically and experimentally the quantum properties of a type II frequency degenerate optical parametric oscillator below threshold with a quarter-wave plate inserted inside the cavity which induces a linear coupling between…
We present an experimental study on the ignition and decay of a polariton optical parametric oscillator (OPO) in a semiconductor microcavity pillar. The combination of a continuous wave laser pump, under quasi-phase matching conditions, and…
Optical parametric amplification/oscillation provide a powerful tool for coherent light generation in spectral regions inaccessible to lasers. Parametric gain is based on a frequency {\it down-conversion} process, and thus it can not be…
Extensive infrared spectra of the weakly-bound CO$_2$-CO dimer are observed in the carbon dioxide $\nu_3$ asymmetric stretch region (~2350 cm-1) using a tunable infrared OPO laser source to probe a pulsed slit jet supersonic expansion. Both…
Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) is a staple for reliable state estimation on constrained and lightweight platforms due to its versatility and demonstrated performance. However, pertinent challenges regarding robust operation in dark,…

The excitation spectrum around the pump-only stationary state of a polariton optical parametric oscillator (OPO) in semiconductor microcavities is investigated by time-resolved photoluminescence. The response to a weak pulsed perturbation…
Ultrahigh continuous-wave intensities (>300 GW/cm$^2$) in high-NA optical cavities enable applications from phase-contrast electron microscopy to ultradeep dipole traps for molecules. However, the intensity can be limited by the parametric…
We propose a flexible scheme based on three coupled optical microcavities which permits to achieve stable oscillations in the microwave range, the frequency of which depends only on the cavity coupling rates. We find the different dynamical…
