Wide-Band Ultrafast Laser System for Solid-State-Photonic Hybrid Quantum Systems

Abstract

In this DURIP proposal, we propose to upgrade our capabilities to manipulate light-matter interactions using solid-state quantum emitters in two-dimensional materials. In particular, we plan to purchase a femtosecond-picosecond pulsed, broadband tunable OPO laser system, and a spectrometer for spectral filtering and measurement of the photoluminescence spectra. The pulsed laser system will allow us to probe ultra-fast dynamics of quantum-emitter excitations and to reveal many-body phenomena in multiple quantum emitters coupled in a chiral fashion to our topological photonic devices. Our current setup uses a continuous-wave pump laser that cannot be used to perform any time-resolved measurements. We are also aiming at developing new quantum optics techniques to probe and manipulate topological electronic states. The purchase of the proposed pulsed OPO laser system will enable us to implement these quantum optical probes and manipulations of topological states in two-dimensional electronic materials.
