Integrated photonics is attracting considerable attention and has found many applications in
both classical and quantum optics, fulfilling the requirements for the ever-growing complexity …

This Review provides an exhaustive and detailed description of ion migration phenomena
which occur inside transparent dielectric media due to the interaction with intense ultrashort …

The characterization of exoplanets is critical to understanding planet diversity and formation,
their atmospheric composition, and the potential for life. This endeavour is greatly enhanced …

Diamond has attracted great interest in the quantum optics community thanks to its nitrogen
vacancy (NV) center, a naturally occurring impurity that is responsible for the pink coloration …

The strategy of partial isovalent anion substitution was used to discover the new
noncentrosymmetric (NCS) quaternary oxyselenide Sr6Ge3OSe11. Sr6Ge3OSe11 …

Astrophotonics is the application of photonic technologies to channel, manipulate, and
disperse light from one or more telescopes to achieve scientific objectives in astronomy in …

We report on the fabrication of, to the best of our knowledge, the first highly reflective fiber
Bragg gratings for the 4 µm wavelength range. A second-order grating with a coupling …

We presented a theoretical and experimental study for the evolution of femtosecond laser
direct-writing induced large area of periodic surface structures on As 2 S 3 glass. The laser …

Barium germano-gallate glasses are attractive glass hosts for photonic applications in the
mid-infrared region up to 6 μm. In this work, we investigate the photosensitivity of such …

Nulling interferometry enables astronomers to advance beyond the resolving power of
ground-based telescopes with the goal of directly detecting exo-planets. By diminishing the …
