Welcome to our new group members Benjamin Sturm and Paulina Rivera Fuentes!

Acoustic waves with a topological order unequal to 0 enable the conversion of optical orbital angular momentum modes from 1550nm to almost 1610nm. This is the first demonstration of optics interacting with stably propagating structured acoustic modes. The paper can be found here.

Einem Team von Wissenschaftler*innen des Max-Planck-Instituts für die Physik des Lichts unter der Leitung von Dr. Birgit Stiller ist es gelungen, wandernde Schallwellen in Wellenleitern wesentlich stärker abzukühlen, als dies bisher mit Laserlicht möglich war. Damit sind sie dem Ziel, den…

Detecting an eavesdropper in a quantum channel is essential in a quantum key distribution system. Sender Alice and receiver Bob (or all other involved personalities and end points) can rely on very high standards of security proofs to make a quantum channel nearly entirely secure. However, if an…

A very warm welcome to Cedric Traub, Markus Schmidt and Lisa Fischer who will do their Master and Bacherlor research thesis with us!

Happy to announce that the Stiller Lab got another Postdeadline Paper accepted, this time at the Frontiers in Optics 2023 Conference by Optica next week! Xinglin Zeng will present experiments on frequency conversion of orbital angular momentum information using structured acoustic waves!…
