Our new work on "Eavesdropper localization for quantum and classical channels via nonlinear scattering" is on the arXiv!

Abstract:

Optical fiber networks are part of important critical infrastructure and known to be prone to eavesdropping attacks. Hence cryptographic methods have to be used to…

Read about our new work on strong optoacoustic cooling of a 50cm-long acoustic wave by 219 K from room temperature:

Abstract:

We experimentally demonstrate optoacoustic cooling via stimulated Brillouin-Mandelstam scattering in a 50 cm-long tapered photonic crystal fiber. For a 7.38 GHz acoustic…

For her work on "Optoacoustic active cooling in waveguides", PhD student Laura Blázquez Martínez received the Best Poster Prize at the Frontiers on Nanomechanical Systems Conference (FNS) 2023! Congratulations!

Since several years, we enjoy a common journal club of the 4 research groups at MPL headed by the four PIs: Del-Haye, Fattahi, Stiller and Tani. We also established a yearly tradition of going to the Berg in Erlangen all together!

Postdeadline at CLEO 2023 next week! Nonreciprocal vortex conversion based on flexural acoustic phonons. Congratulations Xinglin!

We warmly welcome James Hubble from Ottawa University to our group within the internship program of the Max Planck – uOttawa Centre for Extreme and Quantum Photonics!
