Dr. Harald Schwefel from the University of Otago visits our institute for several weeks! He will present a talk on his recent exciting achievements “Mixing microwave and light: up-conversion and frequency combs”.

It's a great pleasure to welcome Prof. Benjamin Eggleton from the University of Sydney! He will give a lecture on “Frontiers in nonlinear nanophotonic circuits”.

Check out our preprint on refreshing acoustic phonons in an integrated photonic waveguide:

Abstract:

Acoustic waves can serve as memory for optical information, however, acoustic phonons in the GHz regime decay on the nanosecond timescale. Usually this is dominated…
