Invited Article: Topological crystalline protection in a photonic system [PDF]
APL Photonics, 2016 Topological crystalline insulators are a class of materials with a bulk energy gap and edge or surface modes, which are protected by crystalline symmetry, at their boundaries. They have been realized in electronic systems: in particular, in SnTe. In this

Invited Article: Quantum memristors in quantum photonics
APL Photonics, 2018 We propose a method to build quantum memristors in quantum photonic platforms. We first design an effective beam splitter, which is tunable in real time, by means of a Mach-Zehnder-type array with two equal 50:50 beam splitters and a tunable retarder ...

Invited Article: Enhanced four-wave mixing in waveguides integrated with graphene oxide
APL Photonics, 2018 We demonstrate enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM) in doped silica waveguides integrated with graphene oxide (GO) layers. Owing to strong mode overlap between the integrated waveguides and GO films that have a high Kerr nonlinearity and low loss, the FWM ...
