Exponential Improvement in Photon Storage Fidelities Using Subradiance and “Selective Radiance” in Atomic Arrays (2017, background): “This impedance mismatch leads to large scattering loss at the interface between the two different systems (bare fiber versus fiber with atoms), in close analogy to what occurs between different conventional waveguides [98,99].”
Silicon Quantum Photonics (2015, background): “lensed fibre (∼ 2–5 μm spot) to couple light into an adiabatic spot-size converter [114].”
Demonstration of a Tunable Microwave-Photonic Notch Filter Using Low-Loss Silicon Ring Resonators (2009, background): “This loss can be further reduced to less than 1 dB/facet when lensed fibers are used [8].”
Ultra-low-loss on-chip resonators with sub-milliwatt parametric oscillation threshold (2017, methodology): “We launch light from a tunable laser source, which is then transmitted through a fiber polarization controller and coupled into our device via an inverse nanotaper [45] using a lensed fiber.”
All-optical control of light on a silicon chip (2004, methodology): “Figure 1 shows a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) ring resonator with 10 µm diameter, patterned by electron-beam lithography and subsequently etched by inductively-coupled-plasma reactive ion etchin”
Guiding and confining light in void nanostructure. (2004, background): “When the cross-section is too small, the intensity is also low because the mode becomes delocalized [13].”
Efficient adiabatic silicon-on-insulator waveguide taper (2014, methodology): “In addition, silicon waveguide tapers are also directly used as spot-size converters to connect the silicon photonic waveguides with external fibers or optical dyes [7].”
