Abstract 2D materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, black
phosphorus, and tellurium, have been demonstrated to be promising building blocks for the …

The term whispering gallery mode (WGM) was first introduced to describe the curvilinear
propagation of sound waves under a cathedral dome. The physical concept has now been …

The quest towards the integration of ultra-fast, high-precision optical clocks is reflected in the
large number of high-impact papers on the topic published in the last few years. This interest …

Crystalline lithium niobate (LN) is an important optical material because of its broad
transmission window that spans from ultraviolet to mid-infrared and its large nonlinear and …

Interactions between light and matter play an instrumental role in spectroscopy, sensing,
quantum information processing and lasers. In most of these applications, light is considered …

This chapter describes the discovery and stable generation of temporal dissipative Kerr
solitons in continuous‐wave (CW) laser‐driven optical microresonators. The experimental …

The commercial success of radio-frequency acoustic filters in wireless communication
systems has launched aluminum nitride (AlN) as one of the most widely used …

Dielectrics represent a new frontier for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. They can serve
as either a complement or an alternative to conventional, metal-based SERS, offering key …

We present an overview of the general concepts of polaritonic chemistry with organic
molecules, ie, the manipulation of chemical structure that can be achieved through strong …

Controlling and reversing the effects of loss are major challenges in optical systems. For
lasers, losses need to be overcome by a sufficient amount of gain to reach the lasing …
