Frequency stabilization of an ultraviolet semiconductor disk laser [PDF]
We report a tunable, narrow-linewidth UV laser based on intracavity second-harmonic generation in a red semiconductor disk laser. Single-frequency operation is demonstrated with a total UV output power of 26 mW. By servo-locking the fundamental frequency

The anisotropic Kerr nonlinear refractive index of the beta-barium borate (\beta-BaB2O4) nonlinear crystal [PDF]
We study the anisotropic nature of the Kerr nonlinear response in a beta-barium borate (\beta-BaB2O4, BBO) nonlinear crystal. The focus is on determining the relevant $\chi^{(3)}$ cubic tensor components that affect interaction of type I cascaded second ...

Observation of the quantum paradox of separation of a single photon from one of its properties [PDF]
We report an experimental realization of the quantum paradox of the separation of a single photon from one of its properties (the so-called "quantum Cheshire cat"). We use a modified Sagnac interferometer with displaced paths to produce appropriately pre-
