Acoustic waves with a topological order unequal to 0 enable the conversion of optical orbital angular momentum modes from 1550nm to almost 1610nm. This is the first demonstration of optics interacting with stably propagating structured acoustic modes. The paper can be found here.

A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light led by Dr. Birgit Stiller has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in waveguides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant move towards the…

Detecting an eavesdropper in a quantum channel is essential in a quantum key distribution system. Sender Alice and receiver Bob (or all other involved personalities and end points) can rely on very high standards of security proofs to make a quantum channel nearly entirely secure. However, if an…

A very warm welcome to Cedric Traub, Markus Schmidt and Lisa Fischer who will do their Master and Bacherlor research thesis with us!

Happy to announce that the Stiller Lab got another Postdeadline Paper accepted, this time at the Frontiers in Optics 2023 Conference by Optica next week! Xinglin Zeng will present experiments on frequency conversion of orbital angular momentum information using structured acoustic waves!…

Postdeadline Paper at the PSC 2023 Conference (Photonics in Switching and Computing): our work on an optoacoustic perceptron for recurrent neural networks with Steven Becker and Dirk Englund from MIT has been accepted for the postdeadline session!

Congratulations Steven!
