  2. 1. Slow and stopped light by light-matter coherence control

    Author : Jonas Tidström; Lars Thylén; Mauritz Andersson; Jesper Mørk; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; slow light; stored light; stopped light; light-matter coherence; electromagnetically induced transparency; rubidium atoms; Physics; Fysik; Photonics; Fotonik;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study light-matter coherence phenomena related to the interaction of a coherent laser field and the so-called Λ-system, a three-level quantum system (e.g., an atom). We observe electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), slow and stored light in hot rubidium vapor. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantum memory development and new slow light applications in rare-earth-ion-doped crystals

    Author : Qian Li; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum memories; Slow light; Rare-earth-ion-doped crystals; Light-Matter Interaction; Fysicumarkivet A:2018:Li;

    Abstract : When doped into solid state transparent crystals, rare-earth ions can have optically excited states with milliseconds coherence time and up to six hours coherence time for hyperfine levels after being cooled down to liquid helium temperature. This long coherence property makes them unique as solid state material and attractive for quantum information applications. READ MORE

  5. 3. Shining Light on Molecules : Electron Transfer Processes in Model Systems for Solar Energy Conversion Investigated by Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

    Author : Jens Föhlinger; Leif Hammarström; Davidsson Jan; Benjamin Dietzek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photophysics; photoinduced electron transfer; transient absorption spectroscopy; laser spectroscopy; solar energy conversion; p-type DSSCs; Charge separation; recombination; mesoporous NiO;

    Abstract : In the recent years, solar energy conversion has attracted a huge research interest due to the potential application for limiting the greenhouse effect. In many solar cells and solar fuel cells, understanding of charge transfer (CT) and recombination is important for future improvement of the overall efficiency. READ MORE

  6. 4. Towards Efficient Quantum Memories in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Solids

    Author : Atia Amari; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rare-earth-ion-doped crystals; spectral hole-burning spectroscopy; AFC; CRIB; superradiance; slow light; Quantum memories; photon echo; EIT;

    Abstract : This thesis describes experiments aimed at developing a key component in applications such as quantum networks and long-distance quantum communication systems: quantum memories. Quantum memories for light using photon-echo and coherent rephrasing techniques have been developed. The work is carried out on rare-earth-ion-doped inorganic crystals. READ MORE

  7. 5. InP-based photonic crystals : Processing, Material properties and Dispersion effects

    Author : Audrey Berrier; Srinivasan Anand; Alfred Forchel; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photonic crystals; indium phosphide; photonic bandgap; Bloch modes; slow light; dispersion; coupled cavity waveguides; chemically assisted ion beam etching; lag effect; cavities; optical losses; carrier transport; carrier lifetimes; negative refraction; photonic bandstructure; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Photonic crystals (PhCs) are periodic dielectric structures that exhibit a photonic bandgap, i.e., a range of wavelength for which light propagation is forbidden. The special band structure related dispersion properties offer a realm of novel functionalities and interesting physical phenomena. READ MORE
