Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow
efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

Softphotonics has emerged as a new discipline that utilizes soft matter (ie, liquids, gels, bio‐
materials) as waveguide materials with versatile functionalities. The flexible properties of soft …

Microwave photonics (MWP) has unlocked a new paradigm for Radio Frequency (RF) signal
processing by harnessing the inherent broadband and tunable nature of photonic …

The key challenge for high-power delivery through optical fibers is overcoming nonlinear
optical effects. To keep a smooth output beam, most techniques for mitigating optical …

We numerically demonstrate that lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) waveguides may
support confined short-wavelength surface acoustic waves that interact strongly with optical …

Transverse Mode Instability (TMI) that results from dynamic nonlinear thermo-optical
scattering is the primary limitation to power scaling in high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers …

Entanglement in hybrid quantum systems comprised of fundamentally different degrees of
freedom, such as light and mechanics, is of interest for a wide range of applications in …

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is often an unwanted loss mechanism in both active
and passive fibers. Highly multimode excitation of fibers has been proposed as a novel route …

Brillouin–Mandelstam scattering is one of the most accessible nonlinear optical phenomena
and has been widely studied since its theoretical discovery one hundred years ago. The …

We present a free-running 80-MHz dual-comb polarization-multiplexed solid-state laser
which delivers 1.8 W of average power with 110-fs pulse duration per comb. With a high …
