Photonic nanostructures provide a means of tailoring the interaction between light and
matter and the past decade has witnessed tremendous experimental and theoretical …

We review the progress in the development of frequency converters based on three‐wave
mixing in whispering gallery resonators (WGRs). The theoretical description, given in a …

A drawback of optical modes in microdisk cavities is their isotropic light emission. Here we
report a novel, robust, and general mechanism that results in highly directional light …

The authors report on Al As∕ Ga As micropillar cavities with unprecedented quality factors
based on high reflectivity distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). Due to an increased number …

Optomechanical coupling between a mechanical oscillator and light trapped in a cavity
increases when the coupling takes place in a reduced volume. Here we demonstrate a …

Gallium arsenide and related compound semiconductors lie at the heart of optoelectronics
and integrated laser technologies. Shaped at the micro-and nanoscale, they allow strong …

Optical nonlinearity plays a pivotal role in quantum information processing using photons,
from heralded single-photon sources and coherent wavelength conversion to long-sought …

Diamond-based photonic devices offer exceptional opportunity to study cavity quantum
electrodynamics at room temperature. Here we report fabrication and optical …

Recent theoretical and experimental progress on nanolasers is reviewed with a focus on the
emission properties of devices operating with a few or even an individual semiconductor …

The effect of engineering the dispersion of AlGaAs-on-insulator (AlGaAs-OI) waveguides on
supercontinuum generation is investigated at telecom wavelengths. The pronounced effect …
