  Title Towards high-speed imaging of infrared photons with bio-inspired nanoarchitectures Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.  
  Volume 6 Issue 3 Pages (down) 195-200  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Existing infrared detectors rely on complex microfabrication and thermal management methods. Here, we report an attractive platform of low-thermal-mass resonators inspired by the architectures of iridescent Morpho butterfly scales. In these resonators, the optical cavity is modulated by its thermal expansion and refractive index change, resulting in `wavelength conversion' of mid-wave infrared (3-8 µm) radiation into visible iridescence changes. By doping Morpho butterfly scales with single-walled carbon nanotubes, we achieved mid-wave infrared detection with 18-62 mK noise-equivalent temperature difference and 35-40 Hz heat-sink-free response speed. The nanoscale pitch and the extremely small thermal mass of individual `pixels' promise significant improvements over existing detectors. Computational analysis explains the origin of this thermal response and guides future conceptually new bio-inspired thermal imaging sensor designs.

  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 (down) 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.

  Title High-fidelity quantum driving Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.  
  Volume 8 Issue 2 Pages (down) 147-152  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Accurately controlling a quantum system is a fundamental requirement in quantum information processing and the coherent manipulation of molecular systems. The ultimate goal in quantum control is to prepare a desired state with the highest fidelity allowed by the available resources and the experimental constraints. Here we experimentally implement two optimal high-fidelity control protocols using a two-level quantum system comprising Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices. The first is a short-cut protocol that reaches the maximum quantum-transformation speed compatible with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. In the opposite limit, we realize the recently proposed transitionless superadiabatic protocols in which the system follows the instantaneous adiabatic ground state nearly perfectly. We demonstrate that superadiabatic protocols are extremely robust against control parameter variations, making them useful for practical applications.

  Title Attosecond photonics: Extreme ultraviolet catastrophes Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication Nature Photonics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Photon.  
  Volume 6 Issue 3 Pages (down) 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.
