A procedure to create a two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model for a single atom existing within an optical cavity is proposed. An effect of the interplay of laser detuning and atom (cavity) pump (driven) field is the occurrence of strong single photon blockade, two-photon bundles, and photon-induced tunneling. Strong photon blockade, a characteristic of cavity-driven fields in the weak coupling domain, allows for the switching between single photon blockade and photon-induced tunneling phenomena at two-photon resonance by adjusting the driving strength. The atom pump field's activation facilitates quantum switching between two-photon bundles and photon-induced tunneling at four-photon resonance. It is noteworthy that the high-quality quantum switching between single photon blockade, two-photon bundles, and photon-induced tunneling at three-photon resonance is enabled by the synchronized action of both the atom pump and cavity-driven fields. In contrast to the standard two-level Jaynes-Cummings model, a two-photon (multi-photon) approach generates a series of distinctive nonclassical quantum states within our scheme. This strategy may prove beneficial in investigating foundational quantum devices for applications in quantum information processing and quantum networks.

We demonstrate the generation of sub-40 femtosecond pulses from a YbSc2SiO5 laser, optically pumped by a spatially single-mode fiber-coupled laser diode operating at 976nm. At a wavelength of 10626 nanometers in the continuous-wave mode, a maximum output power of 545 milliwatts was achieved, signifying a slope efficiency of 64% and a laser threshold of 143 milliwatts. Also achievable was a continuous tuning of wavelengths, encompassing the 80-nanometer range from 1030 nanometers to 1110 nanometers. The YbSc2SiO5 laser, equipped with a SESAM to initiate and stabilize mode-locked operation, produced soliton pulses of 38 femtoseconds duration at 10695 nanometers, resulting in an average output power of 76 milliwatts at a pulse repetition rate of 798 megahertz. The output power, maximized at 216 milliwatts, was achieved using slightly longer pulses of 42 femtoseconds, leading to a peak power of 566 kilowatts and a remarkable optical efficiency of 227 percent. Our rigorous testing shows that these pulses are the shortest ever generated in a Yb3+-doped rare-earth oxyorthosilicate crystal form.

This paper's contribution is a non-nulling absolute interferometric approach for fast and complete measurement of aspheric surfaces across their whole areas, rendering mechanical movement unnecessary. Multiple single-frequency laser diodes, capable of a degree of tunability, are essential components in the execution of absolute interferometric measurements. Accurate determination of the geometrical path difference between the measured aspheric surface and the reference Fizeau surface, for each camera pixel, is facilitated by the virtual interconnection of three distinct wavelengths. Therefore, measurement is achievable even in undersampled sections of the high-density interferogram's fringe pattern. Following the measurement of the geometric path difference, the interferometer's retrace error in non-nulling mode is addressed through a calibrated numerical model (a numerical twin). Measurements of the normal deviation of the aspheric surface from its nominal form are compiled into a height map. This document elucidates the principle of absolute interferometric measurement and the computational approach to error compensation. The method's experimental efficacy was established via measurement of an aspheric surface; the achieved measurement uncertainty was λ/20, concurring with the results obtained from a single-point scanning interferometer.

High-precision sensing applications have benefitted from the picometer displacement measurement resolution of cavity optomechanics. First presented in this paper is an optomechanical micro hemispherical shell resonator gyroscope (MHSRG). Based on the whispering gallery mode (WGM), the MHSRG's function is made possible by the profound opto-mechanical coupling effect. Characterizing the angular rate of the optomechanical MHSRG is accomplished by observing the changes in laser transmission amplitude both entering and leaving the device, contingent on changes in the dispersive resonance wavelength and/or the extent of energy dissipation. Detailed theoretical analysis of high-precision angular rate detection's operating principles is combined with a numerical investigation into the full range of characteristic parameters. Optomechanical MHSRG simulation, with a 3mW input laser and a 98ng resonator mass, shows a scale factor of 4148mV per radian per second and an angular random walk of 0.0555 degrees per hour to the power of one half. Widely applicable to chip-scale inertial navigation, attitude measurement, and stabilization, the proposed optomechanical MHSRG technology is significant.

The nanostructuring of dielectric surfaces under the influence of two successive femtosecond laser pulses, one at the fundamental frequency (FF) and the other at the second harmonic (SH) of a Ti:sapphire laser, is considered in this paper. The process takes place through a 1-meter diameter layer of polystyrene microspheres, which function as microlenses. The study utilized polymers displaying strong (PMMA) and weak (TOPAS) absorption at the frequency of the third harmonic of a Tisapphire laser (sum frequency FF+SH) for the target material. EG-011 Microspheres were removed and ablation craters, exhibiting dimensions approximately 100nm, were produced as a result of laser irradiation. A discernible correlation existed between the variable delay time between pulses and the different geometric parameters and shapes of the resulting structures. Statistical processing of the crater depths yielded the optimal delay times necessary for the most efficient surface structuring of the polymers.

A single-polarization (SP) coupler, compact in design, is proposed, utilizing a dual-hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (DHC-ARF). The introduction of a pair of substantial-walled tubes within the ten-tube, single-ring, hollow-core, anti-resonant fiber divides the core, producing the DHC-ARF structure. Essentially, the inclusion of thick-wall tubes stimulates the excitation of dielectric modes within the thick walls, impeding the coupling of secondary eigen-states of polarization (ESOP) between the cores. Conversely, the coupling of primary ESOPs is augmented. This results in a substantial lengthening of the secondary ESOP's coupling length (Lc) and a decrease in the primary ESOP's coupling length to only several millimeters. Optimizing fiber structural parameters in simulations yields a substantial increase in the secondary ESOP Lc, reaching 554926 mm at 1550nm, in comparison to the primary ESOP's Lc, which remains significantly lower at 312 mm. A 153-mm-long DHC-ARF component is integrated into a compact SP coupler, resulting in a polarization extinction ratio (PER) lower than -20dB across a wavelength range from 1547nm to 15514nm, and a minimum PER of -6412dB at 1550nm. The coupling ratio (CR) remains steady within a 502% margin across the wavelength spectrum from 15476nm to 15514nm. The novel, compact design of the SP coupler furnishes a reference for the development of HCF-based polarization-dependent components within high-precision miniaturized resonant fiber optic gyroscopes.

Micro-nanometer optical measurement necessitates accurate axial localization, but existing methods face challenges such as low calibration efficiency, inaccurate measurements, and complex procedures, especially in reflected light illumination. The poor image quality in these setups often leads to imprecise results with common approaches. To tackle this obstacle, we have trained a residual neural network, combined with a user-friendly data acquisition method. Using both reflective and transmission illumination, our method boosts the precision of microsphere axial localization. The identification results, indicating the microsphere's position within the experimental set, enable the extraction of its reference position using this new localization technique. The unique characteristics of each sample measurement's signal form the basis of this point, preventing systematic repeatability errors in identification across samples and improving the pinpoint accuracy of sample location. Optical tweezers platforms, both transmission and reflection-based, have confirmed the validity of this approach. Impending pathological fractures Force spectroscopy measurements, particularly in scenarios like microsphere-based super-resolution microscopy and assessments of adherent flexible materials and cells' surface mechanical properties, will benefit from increased convenience and higher-order guarantees in solution environments.

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) present, according to our assessment, a novel and efficient methodology for the confinement of light. Nevertheless, the confinement of light within a three-dimensional, compact volume using BICs presents a formidable challenge, as energy leakage along the lateral boundaries significantly impacts cavity loss when the footprint diminishes to a minuscule size. Consequently, intricate boundary designs become essential. Conventional design methodologies prove inadequate in addressing the lateral boundary problem, owing to the considerable number of degrees of freedom (DOFs). To boost the performance of lateral confinement in a miniaturized BIC cavity, we introduce a fully automatic optimization method. In the parameter space, which features multiple degrees of freedom, a convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with a random parameter adjustment method is used for automatically forecasting the optimal boundary design. The quality factor, responsible for accounting for lateral leakage, experiences an increase from 432104 in the original design to 632105 in the refined design. Our findings regarding the application of CNNs in optimizing photonic structures confirm their utility, thus prompting further development of small-scale optical cavities for on-chip laser devices, OLED displays, and sensor arrays.
