We studied resonant laser interaction with Rb atoms confined to the interstitial cavities of a random porous glass. Due to diffusive light propagation, the effect of atomic absorption on the light scattered by the sample is almost entirely…

Improving the image contrast of objects immersed in weakly scattering media can be achieved using various strategies. One common approach is to reject events associated with scattered photons in favor of the detection of ballistic photons.…

Enhancing the absorption and emission of electromagnetic waves over a broad range of wavelengths is a topic of fundamental and applied interest in photonics and energy research. In the context of light trapping in solar cells, for example,…

The performance of light-field microscopy is improved by selectively illuminating the relevant subvolume of the specimen with a second objective lens [1-3]. Here we advance this approach to a single-objective geometry, using an oblique…

We discuss theoretically the light-matter coupling in a microcavity containing a quantum well with a two-dimensional electron gas. The high density limit where the bound exciton states are absent is considered. The matrix element of…

In turbid materials it is impossible to concentrate light into a focus with conventional optics. Recently it has been shown that the intensity on a dyed probe inside a turbid material can be enhanced by spatially shaping the wave front of…

Simulations of metal nanopatterns embedded in a thin photovoltaic absorber show significantly enhanced absorbance within the semiconductor, with a more than 300% increase for {\lambda} = 800 nm. Integrating with AM1.5 solar irradiation,…

The energetic positions of molecular electronic states at molecule/electrode interfaces are crucial factors for determining the transport and optoelectronic properties of molecular junctions. Strong light--matter coupling offers a potential…

This paper discusses a quantum optical heating mechanism which might play an important role in sonoluminescence experiments. We suggest that this mechanism occurs during the final stages of the bubble collapse phase and accompanies the…

We report the experimental observation of slow-light and coherent storage in a setting where light is tightly confined in the transverse directions. By interfacing a tapered optical nanofiber with a cold atomic ensemble, electromagnetically…

Electromagnetically induced transparency allows for light transmission through dense atomic media by means of quantum interference. Media exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency have very interesting properties, such as…

The celebrated Lambert-Beer law of light absorption in photochromic media is only valid at low intensities of incident light and low concentration of chromophore. Here we address the generic problem of photo-absorption dynamics,…

A common strategy to compensate for losses in optical nanostructures is to add gain material in the system. By exploiting slow-light effects it is expected that the gain may be enhanced beyond its bulk value. Here we show that this route…

The paper proposes a model of optical transmittance of ultra diluted gas taking into account gas particles non-locality, the quantum effect of wave function spreading derived from solving the Schr\"odinger equation for a free particle. A…

Silicon photodetectors operating at near-infrared wavelengths with high-speed and high sensitivity are becoming critical for emerging applications, such as Light Detection and Ranging Systems (LIDAR), quantum communications, and medical…

Light propagating in an optically thick sample experiences multiple scattering. It is now known that interferences alter this propagation, leading to an enhanced backscattering, a manifestation of weak localization of light in such diffuse…

A light fermionic weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter is investigated by studying its minimal renormalizable model, where it requires a scalar mediator to have an interaction between the WIMP and standard model particles.…

The advent of single molecule optics has had a profound impact in fields ranging from biophysics to material science, photophysics, and quantum optics. However, all existing room-temperature single molecule methods have been based on…

We exploit low spatial coherence illumination to dephase time-reversed partial waves outside its finite coherence area, which virtually creates a controllable coherence volume and isolates the minimal number of scattering events from higher…

Intense light-matter interaction largely relies on the use of high-power light sources, creating fields comparable to, or even stronger than, the field keeping the electrons bound in atoms. Under such conditions, the interaction induces…
