Optical frequency combs generated mechanically [PDF]
, 2016 It is shown that a highly equidistant optical frequency comb can be generated by the parametric excitation of an optical bottle microresonator with nanoscale effective radius variation by its natural mechanical vibrations.

Feedback control of probability amplitudes for two-level atom in optical field [PDF]
Optics Communications 281 (2008) 640 - 643, 2007 We demonstrate the possibility to stabilize the probability amplitude of the upper level for a single quantum two-level atom in a classical optical field with feedback control scheme.

How complicated must an optical component be?
, 2013 We analyze how complicated a linear optical component has to be if it is to perform one of a range of functions. Specifically, we devise an approach to evaluating the number of real parameters that must be specified in the device design or fabrication ...

Programming multi-level quantum gates in disordered computing reservoirs via machine learning and TensorFlow [PDF]
, 2019 Novel machine learning computational tools open new perspectives for quantum information systems. Here we adopt the open-source programming library TensorFlow to design multi-level quantum gates including a computing reservoir represented by a random ...

Optical realization of a quantum beam splitter [PDF]
Optics Letters 33, No. 17, 1966 (2008), 2008 We show how the quantum process of splitting light may be modelled in classical optics. A second result is the possibility to engineer specific forms of a classical field.

Single-beam dielectric-microsphere trapping with optical heterodyne detection
, 2018 A technique to levitate and measure the three-dimensional position of micrometer-sized dielectric spheres with heterodyne detection is presented. The two radial degrees of freedom are measured by interfering light transmitted through the microsphere with

Diffusion of light in semitransparent media [PDF]
, 2015 Light diffusion is usually associated with thick, opaque media. Indeed, multiple scattering is necessary for the onset of the diffusive regime and such condition is generally not met in almost transparent media.

Isotropic-medium three-dimensional cloaks for acoustic and electromagnetic waves
, 2012 We propose a generalization of the two-dimensional eikonal-limit cloak derived from a conformal transformation to three dimensions. The proposed cloak is a spherical shell composed of only isotropic media; it operates in the transmission mode and ...

Power limits and a figure of merit for stimulated Brillouin scattering in the presence of third and fifth order loss [PDF]
, 2015 We derive a set of design guidelines and a figure of merit to aid the engineering process of on-chip waveguides for strong Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS).
