Spectral Correlation Measurements at the Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference Dip

Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Francesco Marsili, Varun B. Verma, Lynden K. Shalm, Jeffrey A. Stern, Matthew Shaw, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We present an efficient tool capable of measuring the spectral correlations between photons emerging from a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference configuration. We show

Pulse-to-pulse jitter measurement by photon correlation in high-ß lasers

Author(s)
Armand Lebreton, Abram Izo, Remy Braive, Nadia Belabas, Isabelle Sagnes, Francesco F. Marsili, Varun Verma, Sae Woo Nam, Thomas Gerrits, Isabelle Robert-Philip, Martin Stevens, Alexios Beveratos
The turn-on delay jitter in pulsed lasers in which a large fraction (β) of spontaneous emission is channeled into the lasing mode is measured by use of a photon

Open Calphad - a free thermodynamic software

Author(s)
Bo Sundman, Ursula R. Kattner, Mauro Palumbo, Suzana G. Fries
The use of thermodynamics in many applications in material science like simulation of phase trans- formation suffers from the lack of high quality open source

Pyrolysis Smoke Generated Under Low-Gravity Conditions

Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Thomas G. Cleary, George W. Mulholland, D L. Urban, Gary A. Ruff, Zeng-guang Yuan, Marit Meyer, Victoria Bryg
A series of smoke experiments were carried out in the Microgravity Science Glovebox on the International Space Station (ISS) Facility to assess the impact of

Semiconductor Double Quantum Dot Micromaser

Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Yinyiu Liu, George Stehlik, Jacob M. Taylor, Jason Petta
The coherent generation of light, from masers to lasers, relies upon the specific structure of the individual emitters that lead to gain. Devices operating as

Bounds on quantum communication via Newtonian gravity

Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Dvir Kafri, G J. Milburn
The classical understanding of gravity yields specific observ- able consequences, the most striking of which is the emergence of a 1/r2 force. In so far as
