QTuB4 • 08:45
Single-Shot Multiple-Delay Crossed-Beam Spectral
Interferometry for Measuring Extremely
Complex Pulses, Jacob Cohen 1 , Pamela Bowlan 1 ,
Vikrant K. Chauhan 1 , Peter Vaughan 1 , Rick Trebino
1 ; 1 Georgia Inst. of Technology, USA. We demonstrate
a simple single-shot interference-based
linear measurement technique for measuring the
complete intensity and phase of extremely complex
ultrashort laser pulses, achieving temporal resolution
of ~130fs and temporal range of 120ps.
QTuC4 • 08:45
Partial-coherence colored-noise approach to
model FEL pulse statistics, Thomas Pfeifer 1 ,
Yuhai Jiang 1 , Stefan Duesterer 2 , Robert Moshammer
1 , Joachim Ullrich 1 ; 1 Max-Planck Inst. for
Nuclear Physics, Germany; 2 Deutsches Elektronen-
Synchrotron (DESY), Germany. An efficient
numerical method allows to generate statistically
representative sets of pulse shapes of free-electron
lasers operating in the self-amplified spontaneous
emission mode without detailed knowledge of the
technical machine parameters.
QTuA2 • 09:00
Mid-infrared direct injection and sub-wavelength
focusing of designer’s surface plasmons
polaritons, Adel Bousseksou 1 , Jean-Philippe
Tetienne 1 , Raffaele Colombelli 1 , Arthur Babuty 2 ,
Ioana Moldovan-Doyen 2 , Yannick De Wilde 2 ,
Gregoire Beaudoin 3 , Isabelle Sagnes 3 ; 1 IEF, CNRS/
Paris-Sud Univ., France; 2 Institut Langevin, ESPCI
ParisTech, France; 3 Laboratoire de Photonique et
de Nanostructures, France. Mid infra-red surface
plasmons polaritons are directly excited in a metal/
air interface using a quantum cascade laser. We
demonstrate bending and focusing of SPPs using
a sub-wavelength metal patterning.
QTuA3 • 09:15
Demonstration of an Elliptical Plasmonic Lens
Illuminated with Radially-Like Polarized Field,
Gilad Lerman 1 , Avner Yanai 1 , Nissim Ben - Yosef 1 ,
Uriel Levy 1 ; 1 Applied physics, Hebrew Univ. of
Jerusalem, Israel. We demonstrate an elliptical
plasmonic lens illuminated by a “radially-like”
polarized field. The surface plasmons interference
generates a structured pattern that can be used
in structured illumination microscopy, particles
trapping and sensing.
QTuB5 • 09:00
Demonstration of Terahertz Generation by
Mixing Passively Q-Switched Dual-Frequency
Nd:YLF Laser Pulses, Pu Zhao 1 , Srinivasa Ragam 1 ,
Yujie J. Ding 1 , Ioulia B. Zotova 2 ; 1 Electrical & Computer
Engineering, Lehigh Univ., USA; 2 ArkLight,
USA. After reducing timing jitter between each
pair of dual-frequency pulses generated by a
passively Q-switched laser by 20 times, we have
successfully generated THz pulses based on
frequency mixing.
QTuC5 • 09:00 Invited
Powerful attosecond pulses from relativistic
mirrors, Matthew Zepf 1 ; 1 Physics and Astronomy,
Queen’s Univ. Belfast, UK. Relatvistic Mirrors are
an extremely promising route to generating high
power attosecond radiation pulses in the XUV.
Different approaches (Oscillating and Flying
Mirror) will be discussed both theoretically and
experimentally.
JTuA3 • 09:00
Fast quantum dot single photon source triggered
at telecommunications wavelength, Kelley
Rivoire 1 , Sonia Buckley 1 , Arka Majumdar 1 , Hyochul
Kim 2 , Pierre Petroff 2 , Jelena Vuckovic 1 ; 1 Stanford
Univ., USA; 2 Univ. of California Santa Barbara,
USA. We demonstrate a 300 MHz quantum dot
single photon source at 900 nm triggered by a
telecommunications wavelength laser. The quantum
dot is excited by on-chip-generated second
harmonic radiation, resonantly enhanced by a
photonic nanocavity.

QTuB6 • 09:15
Molecular Orientation and Alignment by Resonant
Single-Cycle THz Fields, Sharly Fleischer 1 ,
Yan Zhou 1 , Robert W. Field 1 , Keith A. Nelson 1 ;
1
Chemistry, Massachusetts Inst. of Technology, USA.
Molecular orientation is now feasible through
the interaction of gas phase polar molecules with
intense single-cycle THz fields. We explore the
effects of resonant multi-rotational level excitation
on the molecular angular distribution.
JTuA4 • 09:15
Polarization entangled state measurement on a
chip, Linda Sansoni 1 , Fabio Sciarrino 1,2 , Giuseppe
Vallone 3,1 , Paolo Mataloni 1,2 , Andrea Crespi 4,5 ,
Roberta Ramponi 4,5 , Roberto Osellame 4,5 ; 1 Dipartimento
di Fisica, Sapienza Università di Roma,
Italy; 2 Istituto Nazionale di Ottica Applicata, Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche (INO-CNR), Italy;

Museo Storico della Fisica e Centro Studi Enrico
Fermi, Italy; 4 Istituto di Fotonica e Nanotecnologie,
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (IFN-CNR),
Italy; 5 Dipartimento di Fisica, Politecnico di Milano,
Italy. We report the realization of an integrated
beam splitter able to support polarization-encoded
qubits. Using this device, we demonstrate quantum
interference with polarization-entangled states and
singlet state projection.
QTuA4 • 09:30
Piezopotential tuned Single ZnO Micro Nanowire
Photodetector, Qing Yang 1,2 , Zhonglin Wang 1 ;
1
School of Material Science and Engineering, Georgia
Inst. of Technology, USA; 2 Key Lab of Modern
Optical Instrumentation, Zhejiang Univ., China.
We demonstrate the piezoelectric effect on the
responsivity of a metal-semiconductor-metal ZnO
micro-nanowire photodetector. Piezo-phototronic
effect can enhance the detection sensitivity more
than fivefold for pW levels light detection.
QTuB7 • 09:30
Two-dimensional Multi-wave Mixing with
High-field THz Transients in InSb, Bernhard
Mayer 1 , Friederike Junginger 1 , Sebastian Mährlein 1 ,
Christian Schmidt 1 , Olaf Schubert 1,2 , Alexander
Sell 1 , Alexej Pashkin 1 , Alfred Leitenstorfer 1 , Rupert
Huber 1,2 ; 1 Department of Physics and Center for
Applied Photonics, Univ. of Konstanz, Germany;
2
Current address: Department of Physics, Univ.
of Regensburg, Germany. Strong 4- and 6-wavemixing
is detected electro-optically when two
multi-THz fields of 5 MV/cm interact in InSb.
These processes are mediated by 2-photon interband
transitions. A non-collinear geometry paves
the way for background-free measurements.
QTuC6 • 09:30
Spectral Linewidth Measurement of an Injection-Seeded
Transient 18.9 nm Soft X-Ray Laser,
David Alessi 1 , Limin Meng 2 , Yong Wang 1 , Olivier
Guilbaud 3 , Mark Berrill 1 , Scott R. Domingue 1 , Dale
H. Martz 1 , Brad M. Luther 1 , D. Joyeux 4 , S. De
Rossi 4 , Annie Klisnick 2 , Jorge Rocca 1 ; 1 Electrical and
Computer Engineering, Colorado State Univ., USA;
2
ISMO, Univ. Paris-Sud 11, France; 3 LPGP, Univ.
Paris-Sud 11, France; 4 LCFIO, Institut d’Optique-
Graduate School, France. The linewidth of an
injection-seeded 18.9nm molybdenum soft x-ray
laser (SXRL) was measured to be significantly
wider than seeded optical field ionization SXRLs
that use gaseous targets, an advantage for the
development of sub-picosecond SXRLs.
JTuA5 • 09:30
Time-Bin Entanglement Distribution on a
Wavelength-Division-Multiplexed Network,
Warren Grice 1 , Ryan S. Bennink 1 , Philip Evans 1 ,
Travis Humble 1 , Raphael Pooser 1 , Jason Schaake 2 ,
Brian Williams 2 ; 1 Computational Sciences and Engineering,
Oak Ridge National Lab, USA; 2 Physics,
Univ. of Tennessee, USA. We describe a scheme
for distributing time-bin entangled photons
to multiple pairs of clients. With clients linked
through the strong spectral correlations between
the photons, a single down-conversion source can
serve many clients simultaneously.
