New paper on the arxiv: Optical vortex Brillouin laser

Our new work on "Optical vortex Brillouin laser" is on the arxiv.

Abstract:
Optical vortices, which have been extensively studied over the last decades, offer an additional degree of freedom useful in many applications, such as optical tweezers and quantum control. Stimulated Brillouin scattering,…

New paper on the arxiv: Nonreciprocal vortex isolator based on topology-selective Brillouin scattering

Take a look at our new paper on the arxiv:

Nonreciprocal vortex isolator based on topology-selective Brillouin scattering

Abstract:
Optical non-reciprocity, which breaks the symmetry between forward and backward propagating optical waves, has become vital in photonic systems and enables many key…

Son et lumière in twisted space

Xinglin Zeng, a postdoc in Birgit Stiller's group at our institute, has recently reported the first observation of stimulated Brillouin scattering in the "twisted space" of chiral photonic crystal fibre (PCF). Drawn from a spinning preform, chiral PCF consists of a multi-helix of hollow channels…
