Trapping an easvesdropper using localized optoacoustic detection
Our new work on "Eavesdropper localization for quantum and classical channels via nonlinear scattering" is on the arXiv!
Abstract:
Optical fiber networks are part of important critical infrastructure and known to be prone to eavesdropping attacks. Hence cryptographic methods have to be used to…
New paper on the arxiv: strong optoacoustic cooling
Read about our new work on strong optoacoustic cooling of a 50cm-long acoustic wave by 219 K from room temperature:
Abstract:
We experimentally demonstrate optoacoustic cooling via stimulated Brillouin-Mandelstam scattering in a 50 cm-long tapered photonic crystal fiber. For a 7.38 GHz acoustic…

Der Berg ruft! The Del'Haye-Fattahi-Stiller-Tani Groups go to Berg
Since several years, we enjoy a common journal club of the 4 research groups at MPL headed by the four PIs: Del-Haye, Fattahi, Stiller and Tani. We also established a yearly tradition of going to the Berg in Erlangen all together!
