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 ...

Invited Article: Bragg stacks with tailored disorder create brilliant whiteness
APL Photonics, 2018 The scales of white beetles strongly scatter light within a thin disordered network of chitin filaments. There is no comparable artificial material achieving such a high scattering strength within a thin layer of low refractive index material.

Invited Article: Four-mode semiconductor optical amplifier
APL Photonics, 2016 We demonstrate the first few-mode semiconductor optical amplifier (FM SOA) that supports up to four waveguide modes. We show that each of the modes are confined to the waveguide, overlapping the quantum wells with approximately the same amount, leading ...
