Seminar: Quantization of light in the wave-packet basis; Applications in quantum optics and quantum communications
Abstract: We review the concepts of temporal modes (TMs) in quantum optics, highlighting Roy Glauber's crucial and historic contributions to their development, and their growing importance in quantum information science. TMs are orthogonal sets of wave packets that can be…
CREOL Spring Colloquium Series: Optical wireless communication with infrared pencil beams – enjoying the benefits of fiber without needing a fiber
Abstract: Optical wireless communication (OWC) is a powerful answer to solve the imminent congestion of radio wireless networks. By using narrow infrared beams, it can offer ultra-high capacity to users individually, at high user density, with enhanced privacy and reduced…
IEEE Distinguished Lecturer: Ultraviolet Optoelectronics for a Better Living
Abstract: Infectious diseases and water are some of the greatest, most urgent challenges of the 21st century. III-nitride ultraviolet (UV) light sources, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, are the only alternative technology to replace conventional power-hungry, hazardous mercury lamps…
CREOL Spring Colloquium Series, New (chiral) light on nonlinear laser spectroscopy
Abstract: Selection rules in nonlinear optics determine which radiation modes are allowed/forbidden in nonlinear processes. Traditionally, the theory accounts for symmetries of the medium only. I will first present a more general theory in which the selection rules are derived…
