Research

Recent interest : Applications of surface waves to quantum-optical devices and phenomena

---------------------- : Nonlinear optical self-action efects and in particular applications of self-phase-modulation

---------------------- : The evolving role of quantum - electromagnetics in engineering science

Discussions, Musings, and Drafts !

---------------------- : Can one rigorously deduce quantum stochastic phase and amplitude noise terms from the density matrix in the number representation? Perhaps a good starting point would be Henry's treatment in "Coherence, Amplification, and Quantum Effects in Semiconductor Lasers " edited by Yoshihisa Yamamoto, Wiley Interscience series in pure and applied optics (1991)

---------------------- : Related: Much has been written on the quantum definition of phase. How experimentally can one measure a phase in the quantum limit and thereby establish once and for all the proper formulation?

---------------------- : Tunnelling at optical frquencies and an optical diode: Can one use a tunnelling structure to impress a sideband on an optical beam, transmit it (the optical sideband) and subsequently coherently detect it? Related: Is it possible to devise a nanometer optical rectifying diode with characteristics comparable to an ideal conventional p-n junction (i.e a ripple factor approaching 1.21 for simple zero bias optical rectification)?
