Second-order coherence properties of metallic nanolasers

Prof. Morandotti’s group and collaborators report on the second-order coherence functions of nanoscale lasers.   Due to the high spontaneous emission coupled into the resonance mode in metallic nanolasers, there has been a debate concerning the coherence properties of this family of light sources. The …

Cross-polarized photon-pair generation and bi-chromatically pumped optical parametric oscillation on a chip

Prof Morandotti's group demonstrated the possibility of harnessing polarization for communication and quantum optics with integrated chips. Experimental set-up of the hybrid self-locked and external pumping scheme. The arrow on top of the amplifier represents the propagation direction of the light inside the cavity. The ...
