NIST Optomechanical Transducer links sound, light, radio waves.
March 30, 2016 | Comments Off on NIST Optomechanical Transducer links sound, light, radio waves.
Published in Nature Photonics, researchers at NIST developed “piezo-optomechanical circuit” that converts signals among optical, acoustic, and radio waves. According to one of said paper’s co-authors, Kartik Srinivasan, this device might enable detailed studies of interactions and foster development of phononic circuitry that can be modified with photons. “This work,” said Srinivasan, “presents one platform for transducing information between different carriers.”

Paper in OSA Research Jounal shows light slows in twists.
March 30, 2016 | Comments Off on Paper in OSA Research Jounal shows light slows in twists.
In Optical Society’s (OSA) research journal, Optica, researchers at University of Ottawa report that twisted light pulses in vacuum travel up to 0.1% slower than speed of light. Research team leader Ebrahim Karimi noted that this fact is of importance to anyone intent on using twisted light for quantum communication. According to Karimi and fellow paper author Frederic Bouchard, twisted light holds great potential for encoding in quantum communication and quantum computers.
