Sulzer2020OL-img

*This work demonstrates  amplitude fluctuations of 1550-nm supercontinua from highly nonlinear fibers to be anticorrelated about the spectral mid-point and shows their passive suppression through a sum-frequency process.

Sulzer2020PRA-img

Determination of the electric field and its Hilbert transform in femtosecond electro-optic sampling, P Sulzer, K Oguchi, J Huster, M Kizmann, TLM Guedes, A Liehl, C Beckh, AS Moskalenko, G Burkard, DV Seletskiy, and A Leitenstorfer, Phys. Rev. A 101, 033821 (2020).

*We demonstrated that the electric field amplitude and its Hilbert transform can be accessed with an electro-optic measurement equipped with a quarter-wave and half-wave plates, respectively. 

Liehl2020PRA-img

Broadband analysis and self-control of spectral fluctuations in a passively phase-stable Er-doped fiber frequency comb, A Liehl, P Sulzer, D Fehrenbacher, S Eggert, M Ludwig, F Ritzkowsky, DV Seletskiy, and A Leitenstorfer, Phys. Rev. A 101, 023801 (2020).

*Building on earlier results with passively phase-locked fiber-based frequency combs, this work reports achievement of i) a relative uncertainty of the carrier-envelope phase below 10-21 obtained within several hours of measurement;  ii) self-referenced reduction of the optical linewidth to sub-5 kHz level. 

Traum2019RSI-img

Multicolor femtosecond pump-probe system with single-electron sensitivity at low temperatures and high magnetic fields, C Traum, P Henzler, S Lohner, H Becker, D Nabben, P Gumbsheimer, C Hinz, JF Lippmann, S Mahapatra, K Brunner, DV Seletskiy, and A Leitenstorfer, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 90, 123003 (2019).

*We unveiled a new optical microscopy setup for fs readout and control of single electrons in individual quantum dots. Major innovations include: 3-color fs fiber laser; custom attoCube optical magnetocryostat; background and noise suppressions. 

FigSVPRA2019

Unidimensional time-domain quantum optics, S Virally and B Reulet, Phys. Rev. A 100, 023833 (2019).

We introduced quantum optical ladder operators for time-domain first-quantization and showed how their quadratures are linked in a non-causal way to the electric field.

Kizmann2019NatPhys-img

Subcycle squeezing of light from a time flow perspective, M Kizmann, TLM Guedes, DV Seletskiy, AS Moskalenko, A Leitenstorfer, and G Burkard, Nat. Phys. 15, 960-966 (2019).

By finding an exact analytical solution to the problem of sub-cycle (time-domain) squeezing of a broadband vacuum mode, we demonstrated the emergence of its relativistic interpretation involving a flow of local time.

*Through careful measurements we were able to prove that an optical linewidth of the passively-locked fs frequency comb results from deterministic transformations of the original phase noise of a quantum-limited master oscillator.   

Guedes2019PRL

*Together with theory colleagues from U. Konstanz, we showed ultrabroadband spectra of quantum emission arising from single-cycle parametric drive and showed its connection to Unruh-Davies effect with a finite acceleration time.
