Experimental investigation of polarization rotation in semiconductor optical amplifiers
(2004)In this paper we present an experimental study of polarisation rotation in a semiconductor optical amplifier. We use two techniques to investigate the gain and birefringence along the two eigen modes of the component ... -
Production and processing of graphene and related materials
(2020)We present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures. We adopt a 'hands-on' approach, providing practical ... -
Characterising the Hierarchy of Multi-time Quantum Processes with Classical Memory
(2024)Memory is the fundamental form of temporal complexity: when present but uncontrollable, it manifests as non-Markovian noise; conversely, if controllable, memory can be a powerful resource for information processing. ... -
Characterising transformations between quantum objects, `completeness' of quantum properties, and transformations without a fixed causal order
(2024)Many fundamental and key objects in quantum mechanics are linear mappings between particular affine/linear spaces. This structure includes basic quantum elements such as states, measurements, channels, instruments, ... -
Overcoming temperature limitations in laser cooling using dressed states and diamond vacancies
(SPIE, 2025)The established approach to laser cooling of solids relies on anti-Stokes fluorescence, for example from rare earth impurities in glass. Although successful, there is a minimum temperature to which such a process can cool ... -
Mechanical Properties of Conducting Printed Nanosheet Network Thin Films Under Uniaxial Compression
