  1. 2282. Material Candidates for Nonlinear Photonic Devices (I)
    Prof. Ksenia Dolgaleva (University of Ottawa)

    Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Division de la physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Rapid development of nanofabrication has stimulated the growth of the field of nonlinear photonics. Nonlinear photonic devices are finding their applications in more and more areas, including (but not limited to) classical and quantum communications. The material platforms used for nonlinear photonics on-a-chip range from transparent dielectrics with a relatively weak nonlinearity to...

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Light is our best medium for sending information over long distances—it moves at nature’s speed limit, and doesn’t degrade for hundreds of kilometers. As quantum technologies become more prevalent, we will strive to transmit quantum information, and for this, we will require high quality sources of quantum light.

    Sources of quantum light based on nonlinear optical processes, which mediate...

  3. 2069. Light polarization control by reflection off an ultrathin, phase change layer
    Prof. Alain Haché (Université de Moncton)

    Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Division de la physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    We theoretically investigate and experimentally demonstrate polarization modulation of a beam of light interacting with a nanometer-thin layer of vanadium dioxide (VO2), a phase change material. As the material undergoes a phase transition from insulator to metal, large variations in refractive indices impart unequal phase shifts on s- and p-components of the electric field of light, thereby...
