Coherent phonon optics in a chip with an electrically controlled active device (2015)
Journal Article

Phonon optics concerns operations with high-frequency acoustic waves in solid media in a similar way to how traditional optics operates with the light beams (i.e. photons). Phonon optics experiments with coherent terahertz and sub-terahertz phonons p... Read More about Coherent phonon optics in a chip with an electrically controlled active device.

Picosecond acoustic interferometry was used to study the acousto-optic properties of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) manufactured from two immiscible polymers (cellulose acetate and polyvinylcarbyzole). Picosecond strain pulses were injected into... Read More about High-frequency acousto-optic effects in Bragg reflectors.

Driven primarily by scientific curiosity, but also by the potential applications of intense sources of coherent sound, researchers have targeted the phonon laser (saser) since the invention of the optical laser over 50 years ago. Here we fabricate a... Read More about Dynamics of a vertical cavity quantum cascade phonon laser structure.
