We propose to create an effective magnetic field for photons in photonic crystal resonator lattices using the magneto-optical effect. The inter-resonator coupling is mediated by magneto-optical waveguides or magnetooptical resonators, and thus the coupling between the nearest-neighbor photonic crystal resonators acquire a direction-dependent phase. The effective magnetic field can be realized w...

We develop a simple tensorial contraction method to obtain analytical formula for X-ray resonant magnetic scattering. We apply the method considering first electric dipole-dipole and electric quadrupolequadrupole scattering in the isolated atom approximation and compare the results with previous works. Then we apply the method to derive phenomenological original formulas which account also for ...

We propose a new scheme for the production of milli-Kelvin molecules via kinematic cooling through collisions with atoms in a magnetooptical trap (MOT). We will discuss the kinematic conditions necessary for producing cold molecules, the limits of the final attainable temperatures and the experimental implementation of this technique. Finally, we will look at some specific physical systems and ...

A laser system based on injection locking of a broad emitter diode laser operating at a wavelength of λ = 671 nm has been realized. With an injected power of 9.6 mW, 130 mW output power of the broad emitter diode laser is achieved. The broad emitter diode laser operates in a single spectral mode and its eigenmodes can be suppressed by more than 30 dB. By modulation of its operation current, sid...

We consider s→p interexciton far-infrared ~FIR! magnetooptical transitions in coupled double quantum wells ~DQWs!. Spatially direct ~intrawell! and indirect ~interwell! excitons in strained InxGa12xAs/GaAs symmetric DQWs with a simple valence band are considered. The evolution of the transition energies and oscillator strengths as functions of the transverse magnetic field B in different regime...

Implementing microwave frequency qubits in future quantum networks will require coherent interconversion between single optical and microwave photons. Recent progress towards this goal has been made in cavity optomechanics, where the position of a mesoscopic object modulates the frequency of both microwave and optical cavities [1]. To compliment optomechanics, it may be worth considering altern...

The average power of solid-state and fiber lasers has considerably increased during the last ten years. The 10 kW power is not record-breaking any longer, and a topical problem nowadays is to create lasers with a power of 100 kW. Therefore, the study of thermal effects caused by absorption of laser radiation in the bulk of optical elements becomes ever more important. The Faraday isolator (FI) ...
