This proposal involves the investigation of linear and nonlinear phenomena in micro- nano-optical cavities and waveguides; the understanding of the limiting effects of each material, the understanding of the interaction between matter and light, including spontaneous and stimulated emission and the coupling between light, matter, and mechanical degrees of freedom in these structures. Also…
The recent development of active and passive photonic components has revolutionized spectroscopy techniques, compact sources of light of high coherence, data transmission and even redefined the optical computing paradigm. In this proposal we aim to explore the collective and multimodal behavior that appears in optical microcavities as a consequence of nonlinear effects of electronic and m…
The advancement of the nanophotonics research in the past decade have shown its potential to establish disruptive technology in the fields of telecom, multi-core processors and radio-frequency signal proces- sing. In this project we propose the development of on-chip nanophotonic devices based on silicon and III-V materials. Our focus will be two-fold, the coupling between mechanical and …
This project focuses on studying third-order nonlinear processes occurring in optical microcavities. The main objective is to explore the generation of optical parametric oscillation, with a specific emphasis on degenerate, dual-pumped, parametric processes. We aim to explore the generation of non-degenerate optical parametric oscillation for the purpose of generating binary phase states.…
In this phd project the student will explore theoretical and experimental aspects of the interaction between optical and mechanical modes in waveguides and microcavities, leading to the goals BOM-1 and BOM-2 of the main project. Some of the waveguides that the student will use have beenrecently fabricated by current students in the group. In theoretical studies, the student will also bene…
The study of nonlinear optical phenomena in micro and nano-scale engineered cavities and waveguides present opportunities to further improve our fundamental understanding of such processes as well as to design new practical devices [29]. This is due to two basic advantages: first, the ability to confine optical waves in the sub-micron scale greatly reduces the optical power required to in…
The recent development of active and passive photonic components has revolutionized spectroscopy techniques, compact sources of light of high coherence, data transmission and even redened the optical computing paradigm. In this proposal we aim to optimize group velocity dispersion in non-linear optical processes to enable quantum random number generation using on-chip optical parametric o…
