Enhancing Detection Efficiency by Applying an Optical Cavity Structure in a Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector

open access: yesIEICE Transactions on Electronics, 2011
We report on the enhancement of system detection efficiency in a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) by applying the optical cavity structure. The nanowire was made using 4-nm-thick NbN thin films and covered with an SiO cavity and Au mirror designed for 1300-1600nm wavelengths. The device is mounted into fiber-coupled packages, and

Optical anisotropy of black phosphorus by total internal reflection

open access: yesNano Materials Science, 2019
Although abundant research on the anisotropy of van der Waals (vdW) materials has been published, we undertake an in-depth study of their optical properties as they have an important guiding role for light control in two-dimensional (2D) nanospace. As an

Nonlinear polarization holography of nanoscale iridium films

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2023
Attosecond nonlinear polarization spectroscopy designates the subcycle-precise retrieval of the electric field of a femtosecond laser pulse together with the nonlinear polarization response that the laser pulse triggers in a sample.

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...

Velocity‐Tunable Exciton‐Photon Hybridization in Cathodoluminescence

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transition‐radiation resonances in suspended thin crystals hybridise with excitonic transitions under free‐electron excitation. By tuning the electron energy, the photonic resonances are continuously detuned across the exciton states, enabling controllable exciton–photon hybridisation below the diffraction limit without altering the system geometry ...

Ultrasensitive Optical Detection of Water Pressure in Microfluidics Using Smart Reduced Graphene Oxide Glass

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Despite recent progresses in the field of microfluidics, the effect of liquid pressure on the detection accuracy has been rarely studied. Here, we perform a quantitative analysis of such effect, by utilizing the sensitive optical responses of graphene to

Optical Signature of Moiré Superlattices Formed by Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We discover optical signatures from bonded interfaces in twisted SrTiO3 moiré superlattices, including low‐frequency Raman vibrational modes and strong second‐harmonic generation, consistent with strong interlayer coupling inferred from cross‐sectional electron microscopy and ab initio calculations. ABSTRACT Moiré superlattices formed at the interfaces

Controlling spatiotemporal nonlinearities in multimode fibers with deep neural networks

open access: yesAPL Photonics, 2020
Spatiotemporal nonlinear interactions in multimode fibers are of interest for beam shaping and frequency conversion by exploiting the nonlinear interaction of different pump modes from quasi-continuous wave to ultrashort pulses centered around visible to
