Unlike the capillaries conventionally used for gas-based spectral broadening of ultrashort (<
100 fs) multi-millijoule pulses, which produce only normal dispersion at usable pressure …

Since their inception, about 20 years ago, hollow-core photonic crystal fiber and its gas-filled
form are now establishing themselves both as a platform in advancing our knowledge on …

Highly sensitive phase-and frequency-resolved detection of microwave electric fields is of
central importance in a wide range of fields, including cosmology,, meteorology …

Chip-scale atomic devices combine elements of precision atomic spectroscopy, silicon
micromachining, and advanced diode laser technology to create compact, low-power, and …

In this review, we introduce photonic crystal fibre as a novel optofluidic microdevice that can
be employed as both a versatile chemical sensor and a highly efficient microreactor. We …

The single-photon transport in a single-mode waveguide, coupled to a cavity embedded
with a two-level atom, is analyzed. The single-photon transmission and reflection …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

We demonstrate a fiber-optical switch that is activated at tiny energies corresponding to a
few hundred optical photons per pulse. This is achieved by simultaneously confining both …

Photonics has long been used to study non-solid materials such as liquids, gases and
plasmas, but these fluidic media have traditionally not comprised a functional part of the …

Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics We review recent research on nonlinear optical
interactions in waveguides with sub-micron transverse dimensions, which are termed …
