Living tissues are crowded and dynamic environments, in which signalling molecules and physical forces constantly act on single cells. To ensure correct tissue development and homeostasis, cells function ...
The ability to manipulate frequency of light, through parametric frequency conversion sources based on X(2) nonlinear materials, offers an effective route to spectral regions unapproachable by conventional ...
Optical quantum memories are important devices in quantum information science. In particular, they are building blocks of quantum repeater architectures that have been proposed to increase the range of ...
The ubiquity of solar energy conversion technology is an exciting target which we aspire for in this century. Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells are an attractive platform, being low-cost and ...
Since its discovery in 1928, Raman spectroscopy (RS) has produced a revolution in the fields of analytical chemistry and molecular detection. Thanks to the latest technical advances, the expectations ...
The technological era that we live in is sometimes described as the Information Age. Colossal amounts of data are generated every day and considerable effort is put into creating technologies to process, ...
(English) Besides its relevant fundamental interest, the in-depth understanding of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale has a profound impact on modern technological applications in diverse areas ...
This thesis studies different designs of optical parametric oscillators as sources of atom-resonant quantum light resonant with the rubidium D1 line.We analyze the mode structure and filtering techniques ...
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are modes that remain radiationless though they exist in the part of the spectrum that corresponds to radiating waves. They are a general wave phenomenon and following ...
In everyday life the impact of light on the motion of mechanical objects is negligible. However, modern experiments making use of high quality optical resonators are able to observe significant effects ...
