Micro- and nanoscale lasers that display superthermal intensity fluctuations could lead to novel applications in quantum information processing and imaging techniques. Experiments demonstrate a new method for generating superthermal light using a bimodal semiconductor nanolaser.

A new detection system directly observes a type of entanglement in which a photon’s energy is correlated with the time its partner is detected.

We introduce a novel formalism in which the paraxial coupled wave equations of the nonlinear optical sum-frequency generation process are shown to be equivalent to the Pauli equation describing the dynamics of a spin-1/2 particle in a spatially varying magnetic field. This interpretation gives rise ...

Oscillating polarization is induced by femtosecond laser-pulse driving of aluminum-doped zinc-oxide thin films, creating a medium with features that oscillate in time.

Disordered multihyperuniform many-particle systems are exotic amorphous states that allow exquisite color sensing capabilities due to their anomalous suppression of density fluctuations for distinct subsets of particles, as recently evidenced in photoreceptor mosaics in avian retina. Motivated by th...

We demonstrate superresolution imaging of single rare-earth emitting centers, namely, trivalent cerium, in yttrium aluminum garnet crystals by means of stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. The achieved all-optical resolution is ≈50 nm. Similar results were obtained on H3 color centers i...

Based on fundamental properties of the light scattering by a particle under a plane, linearly polarized wave illumination, we rigorously prove the existence of the ultimate upper limit for the light absorption by any partial mode and calculate this limit explicitly. The limit is a certain simple uni...

Almost twenty years ago, light was slowed down to less than 10−7 of its vacuum speed in a cloud of ultracold atoms of sodium. Upon a sudden turn-off of the coupling laser, a slow light pulse can be imprinted on cold atoms such that it can be read out and converted into a photon again. In this proces...

In this work, we study the transmission properties of one-dimensional finite periodic systems with PT symmetry. A simple closed-form expression is obtained for the total transmittance from a lattice of N cells, that allows us to describe the transmission minima (maxima) when the system is in the PT-...
