We study the dissipative dynamics of a three level atom in a cascade configuration driven by two independent lasers and coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide. The coupling to the waveguide is chiral, in the sense that each ...

Organic solar cells have become a suitable photovoltaic technology thanks to their flexibility, scalability and light weight layout. They offer many advantages over the prevalent silicon industry, however, their efficiency ...

In this Master Thesis we study the operation of a Zeeman slower to cool an atomic beam. In particular, we consider a beam formed by 171Yb atoms interacting with a counter- propagating laser beam in such a way that, by means ...

[ANGLÈS] This thesis present the simulation program for 1D photonic crystals and fabrication process of nano-structured optical devices based on porous silicon layers prepared by electrochemical etching method and the ...

In this project, we present a novel approach to calculate and engineer the photon correlations emerging from the interference between an input field and the field scattered by an atom in free space. Historically, it has ...

English: The technique of transformation optics is applied to a system of three coupled waveguides undergoing adiabatic passage of a light beam. We show that it is possible, by applying different transformations to different ...

English: A novel technique named Velocity Filtering via Adiabatic Passage (VFAP) is proposed and theoretically investigated to reduce the transverse velocity of an atomic beam. The role of the Doppler effect and the transfer ...
