We describe an easy-to-implement technique that allows for a complete experimental characterization of sub-wavelength diameter tapered optical fibers. Our method is based on a direct and fast numerical analysis of the backward Brillouin…

We develop a general framework of evaluating the gain coefficient of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in optical waveguides via the overlap integral between optical and elastic eigen-modes. We show that spatial symmetry of the optical…

We perform spectroscopy on the hyperfine splitting of $^{85}$Rb atoms trapped in far-off-resonance optical traps. The existence of a spatially dependent shift in the energy levels is shown to induce an inherent dephasing effect, which…

A stream of optical pulses, transmitted over long distances in optical fiber, will be affected by a variety of noise sources, leading to degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio. This noise accumulation sets generic capacity limits of all…

We consider a counter-intuitive regime of stimulated Brillouin scattering in which the pump wave absorbs the phase defects of the Stokes wave, yielding a nonlinear self-stabilisation of the acoustic wave and a narrowing of the acoustic…

Recent experiments demonstrating storage of optical pulses in acoustic phonons based on stimulated Brillouin scattering raise a number of questions about the spectral and temporal capacities of such protocols and the limitations of the…

Stimulated Rayleigh scattering of pump and probe light pulses of close carrier frequencies is considered. A nonzero time delay between the two pulses is shown to give rise to amplification of the delayed (probe) pulse accompanied by…

Slow light is a fascinating physical effect, raising fundamental questions related to our understanding of light-matter interactions as well as offering new possibilities for photonic devices. From the first demonstrations of slow light…

Photonic stepped-frequency (SF) radar offers high range resolution and only requires low-speed driving electronics, but existing architectures face challenges in achieving low phase noise and uniform frequency steps simultaneously. Here, we…

We demonstrate an ultralow-noise microrod-resonator based laser that oscillates on the gain supplied by the stimulated Brillouin scattering optical nonlinearity. Microresonator Brillouin lasers are known to offer an outstanding frequency…

We show that the propagation of light in a Doppler broadened medium can be slowed down considerably eventhough such medium exhibits very flat dispersion. The slowing down is achieved by the application of a saturating counter propagating…

By comparing the impact of established laser smoothing techniques like Random Phase Plates (RPP) and Smoothing by Spectral Dispersion (SSD) to the concept of "Spike Trains of Uneven Duration and Delay" (STUD pulses) on the amplification of…

As self-sustained oscillators, lasers possess the unusual ability to spontaneously synchronize. These nonlinear dynamics are the basis for a simple yet powerful stabilization technique known as injection locking, in which a laser's…

We propose a scheme to generate robust optomechanical entanglement. This scheme is based on a Backward Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (BSBS) process, which is hosted within an optomechanical structure. Our benchmark system consists of an…

The properties of space-time modulated media operating in the sub-sonic regime are discussed based on rigorous Bloch-Floquet theory. A geometrical description in the frequency-wavenumber plane is developed to provide insight into the…

We generate 555.8nm light with sub-MHz linewidth through the use of laser injection-locking of a semiconductor diode at 1111.6nm, followed by frequency doubling in a resonant cavity. The integrity of the injection lock is investigated by…

Brillouin scattering has been widely exploited for advanced photonics functionalities such as microwave photonics, signal processing, sensing, lasing, and more recently in micro- and nano-photonic waveguides. So far, all the works have…

We consider Brillouin scattering on short-lived phonon modes, such that the relative Brillouin shift between propagating and scattered waves is smaller than the relative width of phonon modes. In this case one phonon mode facilitates…

We report a simple method to suppress the light shift in optical pumping systems. This method uses only frequency modulation of a radio frequency or microwave source, which is used to excite an atomic resonance, to simultaneously lock the…

We present a preliminary experimental study of the dependence on optical depth of slow and stored light pulses in Rb vapor. In particular, we characterize the efficiency of slow and stored light as a function of Rb density; pulse duration,…
