Our new paper on a Brillouin vortex laser is published in LPR!

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…

Read this interview in Laser Focus World to learn what inspired Birgit Stiller to get into quantum optoacoustics, find out about on her opinion on the most important recent developments in quantum work, get advice for entering the field and more here.

The group came to MPL in January to learn more about the various research fields at the institute.

Our work on quantum dynamics of pulsed Brillouin scattering has been published in Physical Review Research today!

The Workshop „Quantum Optics meets Acoustics” was held from 14th to 18th of November 2022 at the Lorentz-Center in Leiden, Netherlands, organized by Wolfgang Löffler (Leiden University), Simon Gröblacher (TU Delft) and Birgit Stiller (MPL).

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have managed for the first time to create a unidirectional device that significantly increases the quality of a special class of transmitted signals in optical communications: optical vortices. By transmitting selective optical vortex…
