Research fields: Fiber Optics, Nanophotonics, Quantum Optics
The research fields of interest of my team span from nonlinear optics to quantum optics with a focus on light-sound interactions and waveguide optomechanics. The physics of optical waves interacting with acoustic or mechanic vibrations is fascinating because it links two very different domains in terms of frequency, velocity, dissipation and other properties. Despite their different nature, light waves and acoustic vibrations can couple efficiently through the effects of electrostriction, photo-elastic effect and radiation pressure. These phenomena enable the coherent creation and annihilation of sound waves as well as manipulation of optical signals. Our aim is to explore optoacoustic interactions experimentally at the classical and quantum level with suitably engineered microstructured fibres and nanowaveguides to manipulate, in this way, light states. The projects in our group focus on optoacoustic quantum signal processing, light storage, computing, distributed sensing and light-sound interactions in specialty optical fibers, such as twisted photonic crystal fibers or liquid-core capillaries.
