  abstract     = {{<jats:p>This review examines the use of continuous-variable spectroscopy techniques for investigating quantum coherence and light-matter interactions in semiconductor systems with ultrafast dynamics. Special emphasis is placed on multichannel homodyne detection as a powerful tool to measure the quantum coherence and the full density matrix of a polariton system. Observations, such as coherence times that exceed the nanosecond scale obtained by monitoring the temporal decay of quantum coherence in a polariton condensate, are discussed. Proof-of-concept experiments and numerical simulations that demonstrate the enhanced resourcefulness of the produced system states for modern quantum protocols are assessed. The combination of tailored resource quantifiers and ultrafast spectroscopy techniques that have recently been demonstrated paves the way for future applications of quantum information technologies.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) show near unity efficiency, low dark count rate, and short recovery time. Combining these characteristics with temporal control of SNSPDs broadens their applications as in active de-latching for higher dynamic range counting or temporal filtering for pump-probe spectroscopy or LiDAR. To that end, we demonstrate active gating of an SNSPD with a minimum off-to-on rise time of 2.4 ns and a total gate length of 5.0 ns. We show how the rise time depends on the inductance of the detector in combination with the control electronics. The gate window is demonstrated to be fully and freely, electrically tunable up to 500 ns at a repetition rate of 1.0 MHz, as well as ungated, free-running operation. Control electronics to generate the gating are mounted on the 2.3 K stage of a closed-cycle sorption cryostat, while the detector is operated on the cold stage at 0.8 K. We show that the efficiency and timing jitter of the detector is not altered during the on-time of the gating window. We exploit gated operation to demonstrate a method to increase in the photon counting dynamic range by a factor 11.2, as well as temporal filtering of a strong pump in an emulated pump-probe experiment.</jats:p>}},

The working principle meanwhile gives rise to the crucial problem and challenge to protect the metasurface from dust or clean the unavoidable contaminants during daily usage. Here, taking advantage of the intelligent bioinspired surfaces which exhibit self-cleaning properties, a versatile dielectric metasurface benefiting from the obtained superhydrophilic or quasi-superhydrophobic states is shown. The design is realized by embedding the metasurface inside a large area of wettability supporting structures, which is highly efficient in fabrication, and achieves both optical and wettability functionality at the same time. The superhydrophilic state enables an enhanced optical response with water, while the quasi-superhydrophobic state imparts the fragile antennas an ability to self-clean dust contamination. Furthermore, the metasurface can be easily switched and repeated between these two wettability or functional states by appropriate treatments in a repeatable way, without degrading the optical performance. The proposed design strategy will bring new opportunities to smart metasurfaces with improved optical performance, versatility, and physical stability.}},

By breaking certain spatial symmetries, chiral structures arise and provide robust chiroptical responses to these plasmonic resonances. Here, we observe strong chiroptical responses in the linear and nonlinear optical regime for chiral L-handed helicoid-III nanoparticles and quantify them by means of an asymmetric factor, the so-called g-factor. We calculate the linear optical g-factors for two distinct chiroptical resonances to −0.12 and –0.43 and the nonlinear optical g-factors to −1.45 and −1.63.

Several different approaches to realize solid-state quantum emitters with high performance have been pursued and different concepts for energy tuning have been established. However, the properties of the emitted photons are always defined by the individual quantum emitter and can therefore not be controlled with full flexibility. Here we introduce an all-optical nonlinear method to tailor and control the single photon emission. We demonstrate a laser-controlled down-conversion process from an excited state of a semiconductor quantum three-level system. Based on this concept, we realize energy tuning and polarization control of the single photon emission with a control-laser field.

One observes an efficient resonant interaction in cases where the common axial wavenumber of the waves in the slab matches the propagation constant of one or more modes of the rod.

  abstract     = {{In dieser Arbeit wird die elektromagnetische Wellenausbreitung in integrierten optischen Wellenleitern mit Hilfe von halb analytischen und numerischen Simulationsmethoden untersucht. Im ersten Teil werden 2-D Si/SiO2-Wellenleiterkonfigurationen mit hohem Brechungsindexkontrast betrachtet. Die Strukturen werden mit halb geführten Wellen unter schrägen Ausbreitungswinkeln angeregt. Dadurch kann die Leistungsübertragung zu bestimmten ausgehenden Moden unterdrückt werden, wodurch vollständig verlustfreie Systeme entstehen. Zusätzlich dient die Anregung mit einem seitlich begrenzten, einfallenden Wellenbündel aus halb geführten Wellen dazu, praktisch relevantere 3-D Konfigurationen zu realisieren. Darüber hinaus wird eine schrittweise Winkelspektrum-Methode vorgestellt, die es ermöglicht, in Kombination mit voll vektoriellen 2-D Finite-Elemente-Lösungen für Teilprobleme mit geringerer Komplexität, die Wellenausbreitung in planaren, linsenförmigen Wellenleitern numerisch in drei Raumrichtungen zu berechnen. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wird die Ausbreitung in Wellenleiterstrukturen aus Lithiumniobat untersucht, welche für quantenoptische Effekte genutzt werden. Zur Detektion einzelner Photonen werden supraleitende Nanodrähte auf eindiffundierten Lithiumniobat Wellenleitern mit zusätzlicher Taperschicht aus Silizium betrachtet. Um die Wellenausbreitung in diesen 3-D Wellenleitern zu beschreiben, wird eine einseitig gerichtete Finite-Elemente „Modal Matching“ Methode eingeführt. Abschließend werden Rippenwellenleiter aus Lithiumniobat analysiert, die auf Siliziumdioxid Plattformen aufgebracht sind. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hier auf dem nichtlinearen „Parametric Down-Conversion“ Prozess, der für die Erzeugung verschränkter Photonen verwendet wird.}},
