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

Advanced 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 ...

Optical Signature of Moiré Superlattices Formed by Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

Advanced 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

Hybrid Materials for Integrated Photonics [PDF]

Advances in Optics, 2014
In this review materials and technologies of the hybrid approach to integrated photonics (IP) are addressed. IP is nowadays a mature technology and is the most promising candidate to overcome the main limitations that electronics is facing due to the extreme level of integration it has achieved. IP will be based on silicon photonics in order to exploit

Single-photon detectors for quantum integrated photonics

Photonics
Single-photon detectors have gained significant attention recently, driven by advancements in quantum information technology. Applications such as quantum key distribution, quantum cryptography, and quantum computation demand the ability to detect individual quanta of light and distinguish between single-photon states and multi-photon states ...

Amorphous metal oxide mixtures for high-Q integrated nonlinear photonics

Communications Physics
Choice of material is ubiquitous in integrated photonics to design device properties, whereas changing material composition is much less common. With phase matching as an additional objective, constraints in depositing and patterning thin films limit the

Photonic Integration on an InP-Membrane

Advanced Photonics 2016 (IPR, NOMA, Sensors, Networks, SPPCom, SOF), 2016
Adding photonic functions to silicon electronics has become an important research theme in the last decade. Here we present an approach based on heterogeneously integrating an indium phosphide based membrane on silicon. Within this membrane we realized a range of photonic functions with competitive performances: lasers, fast detectors, waveguides ...

Effect of Optical Illumination on Bubble Nanodomains

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Stable surface‐confined nanoscale bubble domains are created and manipulated in PMN‐PT single crystals. Under above‐bandgap illumination, these bubble nanodomains remain unchanged. However, upon illumination cessation, they rapidly expand to switch the entire crystal surface, due to the accumulation of a large reservoir of electrons at the crystal ...

Ultrawide Bandwidth Optomechanical Magnetometry Using Flux Concentration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐permeability flux concentrators enable ultrawide‐bandwidth chip‐scale optomechanical magnetometry by exploiting magnetic nonlinearity to up‐convert low‐frequency fields to the mechanical resonance, where sensitivity is optimal. This enables flat wideband operation over more than four orders of magnitude, from tens of kilohertz to sub‐hertz ...
