Nonlinear coupling of two optical resonators

We have demonstrated nonlinear optical coupling of two linearly uncoupled integrated resonators. This work has been accepted for publication in Optics Letters and is available through arXiv. Stay tuned!

Corrado Sciancalepore

Dr. Corrado Sciancalepore of CEA-LETI (France) will be visiting the Department of Physics on November 4-5. He will give a seminar on "Ultra-low loss SiN Photonics" on Nov. 5 at 3.30 PM in Aula Dottorato.

Topological photonics in nonlinear optics

We demonstrated that topological protection of the linear properties of an optical system does not equally extend to the case of nonlinear interactions. This work is now published in Physical Review A.

Congratulation Jacopo!

Today Jacopo Piantanida Chiesa has successfully defended his Bachelor thesis with an excellent presentation on analogies and difference between single- and two-photon emission/absorption processes. Congratulations!

Happy New Year

We wish you all the best for a joyful and productive 2020!

Congratulations Luca!

Luca has successfully defended his Master thesis on Friday, and he will join our group as PhD canditate starting immediately.

A field trip

Today we had our annual field trip for the grape harvest. A bit of work in the vineyard followed by a lot of pizzoccheri and other delicious food from Valtellina!

Course of Photonics

The course of Photonics will start on Oct. 1st, at 3 PM in Room 326.

Squeezing and CV quantum sampling

We propose a novel squeezed light source capable of meeting the stringent requirements of continuous variable quantum sampling. This work is now published in Physical Review Applied.

Visiting Xanadu

This week I am at Xanadu, a quantum photonic company with a terrific team of people working hard to develop photonic-based quantum computing.

Aephraim Steinberg @ UniPV

Prof. Aephraim Steinberg of the University of Toronto will be visiting our Department of Physics on October 10-11. He will give a seminar on October 10, at 12 PM in Aula Dottorato.

A new nano beam cavity

We demonstrate a nanobeam cavity based on a photonic crystal ridge that supports localized Bloch surface waves. This work will soon appear in Optics Letters, stay tuned!
