Matthew T. Hummon, Songbai Kang, Douglas G. Bopp, Qing Li, Daron A. Westly, Sangsik Kim, Connor D. Fredrick, Scott A. Diddams, Kartik A. Srinivasan, John E. Kitching
We perform precision spectroscopy of rubidium confined in a micro-machined, 27~mm$^3$ volume, vapor cell using a collimated free space 120~$\bm{\mu}$m diameter laser beam derived directly from a single mode silicon nitride waveguide. With this optical

Supercontinuum generation in on-chip waveguides is a versatile source of broadband light and the generated spectrum is determined by the phase-matching conditions. Here we show that quasi- phase-matching via periodic modulations of the waveguide structure

Using aluminum-nitride photonic-chip waveguides, we generate optical frequency comb supercontinuum spanning 500~nm to 4000~nm, and show that the spectrum can be widely tailored by changing the geometry of the waveguide. Since aluminum nitride exhibits both

Thomas P. Purdy, Karen E. Grutter, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Jacob M. Taylor
By shining laser light through a nanomechanical beam, we measure the beam’s thermally driven vibrations and perturb its motion with optical forces at a level dictated by the Heisenberg measurement-disturbance uncertainty relation. Such quantum effects are

David R. Carlson, Daniel D. Hickstein, Alexander J. Lind, Stefan Droste, Daron A. Westly, Nima Nader, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
We utilize silicon nitride waveguides to self-reference telecom-wavelength fiber frequency combs through supercontinuum generation using less than 15 mW total optical average power. This is approximately ten times lower than conventional approaches using

Optomechanical Quantum Correlations

Thomas P. Purdy, Karen E. Grutter, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Nikolai N. Klimov, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jacob M. Taylor
We present methods to measure optical quantum correlations arising from an optomechanical interaction even when large classical noise sources are present. We demonstrate quantum- backaction-noise-calibrated Brownian motion thermometry as a metrological

Cascaded emission of single photons from the biexciton in monolayered WSe2

Yu-Ming He, Oliver Iff, Nils Lundt, Vasilij Baumann, Marcelo I. Davanco, Kartik Srinivasan, Sven Hofling, Christian Schneider
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenide materials emerged as a new material class to study excitonic effects in solid state. They benefit from the enormous coulomb correlations between electrons and holes, as a result of reduced dielectric screening
