Title Nanophotonics: Remote on-chip coupling Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.
Volume 6 Issue 1 Pages 7-8
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract Scientists have demonstrated strongly coupled photon states between two distant high-Q photonic crystal cavities connected by a photonic crystal waveguide. Remote dynamic control over the coupled states could aid the development of delay lines, optical buffers and qubit operations in both classical and quantum information processing.

Title Attosecond photonics: Extreme ultraviolet catastrophes Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.
Volume 6 Issue 3 Pages 142-143
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract Extreme ultraviolet attosecond pulses, which emerge from the interaction of atoms with intense laser fields, play a central role in modern ultrafast science and the exploration of electron behaviour. Recent work now shows that catastrophe theory can help optimize the properties of these pulses.

Title Frequency comb generation at terahertz frequencies by coherent phonon excitation in silicon Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.
Volume 6 Issue Pages 243–247
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract High-order nonlinear light–matter interactions in gases enable the generation of X-ray and attosecond light pulses, metrology and spectroscopy1. Optical nonlinearities in solid-state materials are particularly interesting for combining optical and electronic functions for high-bandwidth information processing2. Third-order nonlinear optical processes in silicon have been used to process optical signals with bandwidths greater than 1 GHz (ref. 2). However, fundamental physical processes for a silicon-based optical modulator in the terahertz bandwidth range have not yet been explored. Here, we demonstrate ultrafast phononic modulation of the optical index of silicon by irradiation with intense few-cycle femtosecond pulses. The anisotropic reflectivity modulation by the resonant Raman susceptibility at the fundamental frequency of the longitudinal optical phonon of silicon (15.6 THz) generates a frequency comb up to seventh order. All-optical >100 THz frequency comb generation is realized by harnessing the coherent atomic motion of the silicon crystalline lattice at its highest mechanical frequency.

Title Integration of gigahertz-bandwidth semiconductor devices inside microstructured optical fibres Type Journal Article
Year 2012 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.
Volume 6 Issue 3 Pages 174-179
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract The prospect of an all-fibre optical communications network in which light can be generated, modulated and detected within the fibre itself without the need for discrete optoelectronic devices is an appealing one. However, to become a reality, this approach requires the incorporation of optoelectronic materials and functionalities into silica fibres to create a new breed of semiconductor-fibre hybrid devices for performing various tasks. Here, we report the integration of precisely doped semiconductor materials and high-quality rectifying semiconductor junctions into microstructured optical fibres, enabling high-speed, in-fibre functionalities such as photodetection at telecommunications wavelengths. These semiconductor-fibre hybrid devices exhibit a bandwidth of up to 3 GHz and seamless coupling to standard single-mode optical fibres.
