Optomechanically induced non-reciprocity in microring resonators

, 2012
We describe a new approach for on-chip optical non-reciprocity which makes use of strong optomechanical interaction in microring resonators. By optically pumping the ring resonator in one direction, the optomechanical coupling is only enhanced in that ...

Integration of fiber coupled high-Q silicon nitride microdisks with atom chips

, 2006
Micron scale silicon nitride (SiN_x) microdisk optical resonators are demonstrated with Q = 3.6 x 10^6 and an effective mode volume of 15 (\lambda / n)^3 at near visible wavelengths. A hydrofluoric acid wet etch provides sensitive tuning of the microdisk

Reframing Through New Minds: How External Experts Unlock Problem Reframing Through Reasoning Logics

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how external experts assist organizations in reframing problems by applying different reasoning logics in the early stages of the innovation process. Recent research emphasizes the need to interpret the ambiguity of the innovation environment to reframe problems.

Effects of soil moisture on microhabitat selection of two fossorial amphisbaenian reptiles from contrasting environments

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Extreme events expected under climate change (prolonged drought or torrential rains) alter soil conditions, yet their effects on fossorial vertebrates remain understudied. We tested substrate selection across moisture levels in two amphisbaenians from contrasting climates: Blanus cinereus (Iberian temperate forest) and Trogonophis wiegmanni (North ...
