Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Miniaturization of quantum technologies have led to physics that require the marriage of atomic physics and nanomaterials science. Some of the resulting areas of research are hybrid quantum devices, single-molecule spectroscopies, table-top intense field generators, etc. I will present an exciting way of controlling light and nanomatter - the control of hybrid atom-plasmonic systems. By...

We characterize the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at planar lossy interfaces by investigating the behavior of the energy flux and field intensity at the interface. For interfaces between dispersive and nondispersive linear, homogeneous and isotropic materials with positive, zero, and negative permittivity and permeability, a narrow transition frequency window separates...

1535. Squeezed hollow-core photonic Bragg fiber for surface sensing applications

Prof. Maksim Skorobogatiy (École Polytechnique de Montréal)

CLOSED - Oral (Student, Not in Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)

We propose to use squeezed hollow-core photonic bandgap Bragg fibers for surface sensing applications. We demonstrate theoretically and confirm experimentally that squeezing of the Bragg fiber core increases overlap between the optical fields of the core guided modes and the modes bound to the sensing layer, thus, significantly enhancing their interaction via anticrossing phenomenon, which, in...
