Narimanov1 ; 1 Purdue Univ., USA. Hyperbolic metamaterialsexhibit a broad-bandwidth singularityin photonic density of states, with resultingmanifestations in a variety of phenomena, fromspontaneous emission to light propagation andscattering. Present tutorial reviews recent developmentsin this field.QTu2B.1 • 14:00Ultrafast Laser-excited Relativistic PlasmonicRadiation, Yen-Chieh Huang 1,2 , Kuan-YanHuang 1 , Chia-Hsiang Chen 1 , Yi-Chu Wang 2 ,Ming-Hsiung Wu 1 ; 1 Institute of Photonics Technologies,National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan;2Physics, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. A90-fs laser pulse knocks out electrons from a helicalwire to induce a near-speed-of-light plasmonicpulse on the wire and generates undulator-likeradiation with Lorentz contraction and relativisticDoppler shift.QTu2C.1 • 14:00 InvitedHow secure is quantum cryptography? RenatoRenner 1 ; 1 ETH Zurich, Switzerland. It has recentlybeen demonstrated that practical quantumcryptographic schemes are vulnerable to hackingattacks. In this talk, I will discuss the sources ofthis problem and present a novel generic approachto resolve it.CTu2D.1 • 14:00Progress on the XG-III high-power laser facilitywith synchronized fs, ps and ns output pulses,Jingqin Su 1 , Rui Zhang 1 ; 1 Research Center of LaserFusion, CAEP, China. The paper presents thetechnical design and progress on a high-powerlaser XG-III which consists of three synchronizedbeams, i.e. the femtosecond, picosecond andnanosecond beams.Tuesday, 11 JuneEvgenii Narimanov as a associate professor inthe School Electrical and Computer Engineeringin Purdue University. He received his PhD fromMoscow Institute of Physics and Technology in1995. From 1995 to 1998 he was a postdoctoralassociate at Yale University and from 1998 to 2000a postdoctoral member of technical staff in thetheory department of Bell Laboratories. In 2000-2006 Dr. Narimanov was an assistant professorof electrical engineering at Princeton University.Prof. Narimanov is a Fellow of OSA and a Fellowof IEEE.QTu2B.2 • 14:15Photonic Crystal Formation On Tapered OpticalNanofibers Using Femtosecond Laser AblationTechnique, Kali P. Nayak 1 , Kohzo Hakuta 1 ; 1 Centerfor Photonic Innovations, University of Electro-Communications, Japan. We demonstrate thatthousands of periodic nano-craters are fabricatedon a tapered optical nanofiber, by irradiating justa single femtosecond laser pulse. Such periodicnano-craters on the nanofiber, act as a 1-D photoniccrystal.QTu2B.3 • 14:30Mode Matched Harmonic Generation in PlasmonicNanostructures, Kevin P. O’Brien 1 , HaimSuchowski 1 , Jun Suk Rho 1 , Alessandro Salandrino 1 ,Boubacar Kante 1 , Xiaobo Yin 1 , Xiang Zhang 1 ; 1 NSFNano-scale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC),University of California Berkeley, USA. Nonlinearemission from plasmonic nanostructures is studiedby measuring the second harmonic and thirdharmonic emission as a function of geometry. Anoverlap integral and mode-matching considerationsaccurately predict the optimal geometry.QTu2C.2 • 14:30Long Distance Distribution of EntangledPhoton Pair Over 300 km of Fiber, TakahiroInagaki 1 , Nobuyuki Matsuda 1 , Osamu Tadanaga 2 ,Yoshiki Nishida 2 , Masaki Asobe 2 , Hiroki Takesue 1 ;1NTT Basic Research Laboratories, NTT Corporation,Japan; 2 NTT Photonics Laboratories, NTTCorporation, Japan. We report the experimentaldistribution of a time-bin entangled photon pairover 300 km of optical fiber, which is a recordfor long-distance quantum communication. Theobserved two-photon interference fringe exhibiteda visibility of 84%.CTu2D.2 • 14:15Design and Analysis of Meter-Size DeformableGratings for Compressing Kilojoule, PetawattLaser Pulses, Jie Qiao 1 , Jonathan Papa 2,1 , AdamKalb 1 ; 1 Laboratory for Laser Energetics, Universityof Rochester, USA; 2 Institute of Optics, Universityof Rochester, USA. Monolithic meter-size diffractiongratings are required to improve kilojoule,petawatt laser-system performance. A deformablegrating-basedpulse compressor with optimizedactuator positions is presented to correct thespatial and temporal aberrations induced by gratingwavefront errors.CTu2D.3 • 14:30Long-Term Performance of Liquid CrystalOptics on Large Fusion Lasers, Tanya Z.

Mitchell 1 ; 1 Laboratoryfor Laser Energetics, University of Rochester, USA;2Institute of Optics, University of Rochester, USA.Liquid crystal polarizers and waveplates are anenabling technology for large fusion lasers. Whiledamage and replacement rates of liquid crystaloptics remain remarkably low, degradation inpolarizer performance has been noted and studied.QTu2B.4 • 14:45Second harmonic generations pumped by SurfacePlasmon enhanced fields in nonelectricallypoled NLO polymers, Atsushi Sugita 1 , TomoyukiSato 1 , Kaname Suto 1 , Atsushi Ono 1 , YoshimasaKawata 1 , Shigeru Tasaka 1 ; 1 Shizuoka University,Japan. The SHG in nonelectrically poled NLOpolymers was investigated at Surface Plasmonresonance. The SHG conversion efficiency in thepolymer-coated Ag films was more than 10 timesas high as that in the non-coated ones.QTu2C.3 • 14:45High bit rate quantum key distribution with 100dB security, Ketaki Patel 1,2 , Marco Lucamarini 1,3 ,James F.
