Fast, high efficiency and low error single-photon sources are required for the implementation
of a number of quantum information processing applications. The fastest triggered single …

Advances in the field of plasmonics, ie, nano-photonics exploiting the optical properties of
metal nanostructures, paved the way for the development of ultrasensitive devices, including …

I started the work on liquid crystal colloids around the year 2000 as a continuation of our
experiments on forces between surfaces in liquid crystals. We were using the atomic force …

In this report, we demonstrate for the first time photonic nanocavities operating inside single
biological cells. Here we develop a nanobeam photonic crystal (PC) cavity as an advanced …

Mechanochromic materials which control their color variation by straightforward effective
mechanical stimuli are useful for applications including switches, display devices, and …

In the last two decades, extensive research has been devoted to the development of new
ultra-small lasers. The greatest progress has been made with semiconductor lasers. A …

We introduce dielectric elliptical photonic nanowires to funnel efficiently the spontaneous
emission of an embedded emitter into a single optical mode. Inside a wire with a moderate …

We investigate pump-induced exciton inversion in a quantum-dot cavity system with
continuous wave drive. Using a polaron-based master equation, we demonstrate excited …

This review article is concerned with basic aspects and some selected topics in photonic
crystal (PhC) devices. It starts with a significantly historical aspect of basic principles for …

В последние два десятилетия огромное количество исследовательских работ было
направлено на развитие новых лазеров со сверхмалым размером. Наибольший …
