Heat and pressure are ultimately transmitted via quantized degrees of freedom, like gas particles and phonons. While a continuous Brownian description of these noise sources is adequate to model measurements with relatively long integration…
Integrated, highly sensitive and reversible sensor devices for toxic and hazardous gases in environmental pollution monitoring can be realized with graphene-based materials. Here we show that, single layer graphene grown on SiC can be…
Miniaturized, low-cost wavelength detectors are gaining enormous interest as we step into the new age of photonics. Incompatibility with integrated circuits or complex fabrication requirement in most of the conventionally used filters…
The phase noise of incident light fields can be converted into amplitude noise via absorption and dispersion effects in media under electromagnetically induced transparency. The conversion process is sensitive to two-photon detuning. This…
Rydberg atoms provide a wide range of possibilities to tailor interactions in a quantum gas. Here we report on Rydberg excitation of Bose-Einstein condensed 87Rb atoms. The Rydberg fraction was investigated for various excitation times and…
We show that measured optical transmittance of an ultra thin gas depends on the detector size. To this end we conducted an experiment that compares transmittances measured in parallel with a pair of detectors with different diameters…
We demonstrate the use of two-photon excitation for observing the ground state optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds at room temperature. An ultrafast femtosecond laser at 1040 nm was used for…
Metal-oxide nanowires are showing a great interest in the domain of gas sensing due to their large response even at a low temperature, enabling low-power gas sensors. However their response is still not fully understood, and mainly…
We predict a resonant enhancement of the nonlinear optical response of an interacting Rydberg gas under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. The enhancement originates from a two-photon process which resonantly couples…
We use the technique of electro-magnetically induced transparency (EIT) to probe the effect of attractive dipole-dipole interactions in a highly excited Rydberg gas. The transient character of the EIT response is investigated by rapidly…
We investigate dispersive optical nonlinearities that arise from Rydberg excitation blockade in cold Rydberg gases. We consider a two-photon transition scheme and study the non-linear response to a weak optical probe in presence of a strong…
Cu-doped NiO thin films were deposited on ITO substrates via spray pyrolysis at 450 {\deg}C for 1.5 minutes. XRD confirmed a cubic NiO structure, with Cu incorporation reducing crystallite size, increasing interplanar spacing, and expanding…
The near-field photoluminescence of a gated two-dimensional electron gas is measured. We use the negatively charged exciton, formed by binding of an electron to a photo-excited electron-hole pair, as an indicator for the local presence of…
The polarization discontinuity across interfaces in polar nitride-based heterostructures can lead to the formation of two-dimensional electron and hole gases. In the past, the observation of these electron and hole gases has been achieved…
A high-sensitivity LED based photoacoustic NO$_2$ sensor is demonstrated. Sensitive photoacoustic gas sensors based on incoherent light sources are typically limited by background noise and drifts due to a strong signal generated by light…
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have shown promise as inherently localized electric-field sensors, capable of detecting individual charges with nanometer resolution. Working with NV ensembles, we demonstrate that a detailed…
Rydberg excitons in $\mathrm{Cu_2O}$ simultaneously give rise to two very different optical responses under resonant two-photon excitation: a coherent second-harmonic signal mediated by the excitonic second order susceptibility tensor…
Gas sensors based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted much attention from a new perspective involving light-assisted or gate-voltage operation. However, their combined roles as regards the gas sensing performance and…
