Predictability of Extreme Intensity Pulses in Optically Injected Semiconductor Lasers

The predictability of extreme intensity pulses emitted by an optically injected semiconductor laser is studied numerically, by using a well-known rate equation model. We show that symbolic ordinal time-series analysis allows to identify the patterns of intensity oscillations that are likely to occur before an extreme pulse. The method also gives information about patterns which are unlikely to occur before an extreme pulse. The specific patterns identified capture the topology of the underlying chaotic attractor and depend on the model parameters. The methodology proposed here can be useful for analyzing data recorded from other complex systems that generate extreme fluctuations in their output signals

Multiphoton microscopy and ultrafast spectroscopy: Imaging meets quantum (MUSIQ) roadmap

In April 2019 the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) MUSIQ officially started. The network brought together a unique team of world-leading academics and industrial partners at the forefront of optical micro-spectroscopy and ultrafast laser technology developments merged with fundamental studies of coherent light-matter interaction phenomena, development of quantitative image analysis tools beyond state-of-the-art, and biomedical/pharmaceutical real-world applications. The unique vision of MUSIQ has been to develop and apply the next-generation optical microscopy technologies exploiting quantum coherent nonlinear phenomena. This Roadmap has been written collectively by the MUSIQ early-stage researchers and their supervisors. It provides a summary of the achievements within MUSIQ to date, with an outlook towards future directions

Roadmap on bio-nano-photonics

International audienceIn the quest to decipher the chain of life from molecules to cells, the biological and biophysical questions being asked increasingly demand techniques that are capable of identifying specific biomolecules in their native environment, and can measure biomolecular interactions quantitatively, at the smallest possible scale in space and time, without perturbing the system under observation. The interaction of light with biomolecules offers a wealth of phenomena and tools that can be exploited to drive this progress. This Roadmap is written collectively by prominent researchers and encompasses selected aspects of bio-nano-photonics, spanning from the development of optical micro/nano-spectroscopy technologies for quantitative bioimaging and biosensing to the fundamental understanding of light–matter interaction phenomena with biomolecules at the nanoscale. It will be of interest to a wide cross-disciplinary audience in the physical sciences and life sciences
