New research extends classic quantum optics phenomenon
Physicists at the University of Southampton have extended the theory of resonance fluorescence, a classic phenomenon in quantum optics, to 2D nanostructures that have novel light emission properties.The research, published this week in Physical Review B as a Rapid Communication, has potential applications in photonics devices that are based on the optical properties of quantum wells.Resonance fluorescence is fluorescence from an atom or molecule in which the light emitted is at the same frequency as the light absorbed.To study...
