Congratulations! Pierre Türschmann wins the first prize for his poster on "Molecules Coupled to Dielectric Waveguides: On-Chip Platform for Many-Body-Physics" at Europhysics Conference "From Photonics to Polaritonics - Non-Equilibrium Transport in Complex Media, Photonic Crystals and Disordered…

Optical fibre sensors make use of diverse physical effects to measure parameters such as strain, temperature and electric field. We have recently introduced a new class of reconfigurable fibre sensor, based on a ‘flying-particle’ optically trapped inside a hollow-core photonic crystal fibre, and…

Single-photon sources are desirable resources for a variety of applications, ranging from quantum information processing to metrology.  A single emitter, like a single atom or a quantum dot can, in principle, be used as the central element in such a device, and indeed, this has been demonstrated by…

Microcavities have been popular for a number of applications, ranging from micorlasers, cavity quantum electrodynamics studies and sensing. The enhanced coupling in the cavity is usually achieved via a high quality factor. This, however, severely limits the operating bandwidth of the cavity. Using…

Vahid Sandoghdar was made an OSA Fellow for his pioneering work in the field of nano-quantum-optics through the elegant combination of concepts from quantum optics, single-molecule spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy and plasmonics.
