According to the Goldstone theorem the breaking of a continuous U(1) symmetry comes along with the existence of low-energy collective modes. In the context of superconductivity these excitations are related to the phase of the…
We investigate cooperative phenomena and superradiance for vibrational transitions in polar molecule spectroscopy when a high optical-depth (OD) sample is studied. Such cooperativity comes from the build-up of inter-particle coherence…
Reflectionless potentials (RPs) represent a class of potentials that offer total transmission in the context of one dimensional scattering. Optical realization of RPs in stratified medium can exhibit broadband omnidirectional antireflection…
We show how the application of a coupling field connecting the two lower metastable states of a lambda-system can produce a variety of new results on the propagation of a weak electromagnetic pulse. In principle the light propagation can be…
We examine the steady state and dynamic behaviour of an optical resonator comprised of two interlinked fibre loops sharing a common pump. A coupled Ikeda map models with great accuracy the field evolution within and exchange between both…
Novel optical phenomena, including electromagnetically induced transparency, slow light, superluminal light propagation, have recently been demonstrated in diverse physical implementations. These phenomena are challenging to realize in…
We explore the problem of scattering in a medium modulated by a superluminal rectangular pulse, with the pulse modulation realized through transverse excitations. We solve this problem in the moving frame where the modulation appears purely…
We investigate the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with two non-interfering and counterpropagating modes of a ring resonator. Superfluid, supersolid and dynamic phases are identified experimentally and theoretically. The…
We analytically examine the excitation of surface Josephson plasma waves (SJPWs) in periodically-modulated layered superconductors. We show that the absorption of the incident electromagnetic wave can be substantially increased, for certain…
We analyze stability of superfluid currents in a system of strongly interacting ultra-cold atoms in an optical lattice. We show that such a system undergoes a dynamic, irreversible phase transition at a critical phase gradient that depends…
We study a system of ultra-cold atoms possessing long range interaction (e.g. dipole-dipole interaction) in a one dimensional optical lattice in the presence of a confining harmonic trap. We have shown that for large enough on-site and…
We investigate the transverse instability of two-component solitons forming in a planar waveguide operating in the regime of strong light-matter coupling. The instability emerges as a result of the coupling between transverse diffraction of…
In classical superconductors an energy gap and phase coherence appear simultaneously with pairing at the transition to the superconducting state. In high-temperature superconductors, the possibility that pairing and phase coherence are…
Recent pump-probe experiments reported an enhancement of superconducting transport along the $c$-axis of underdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+\delta}$ (YBCO), induced by a mid-infrared optical pump pulse tuned to a specific lattice vibration. To…
We demonstrate an all-optical bump-on-tail instability by considering the nonlinear interaction of two partially-coherent spatial beams. For weak wave coupling, we observe momentum transfer with no variation in intensity. For strong wave…
The correlated behavior of electrons determines the structure and optical properties of molecules, semiconductor and other systems. Valuable information on these correlations is provided by measuring the response to femtosecond laser…
We study the thermally fluctuating state of a bi-layer cuprate superconductor under the periodic action of a staggered field oscillating at optical frequencies. This analysis distills essential elements of the recently discovered phenomenon…
Superfluids under specific conditions can exhibit spontaneous breaking of continuous translation symmetries and form exotic spatially ordered states of matter known as supersolids. Despite its early theoretical prediction, it took over…
We study the physics of ultracold dipolar bosons in optical lattices. We show that dipole-dipole interactions lead to the appearance of many insulating metastable states. We study the stability and lifetime of these states using a…
Precise optical phase control is crucial for innovations in telecommunications, optical computing, quantum information processing, and advanced sensing. However, conventional phase modulators often introduce parasitic amplitude modulation…
