Does a publication in PRL count as evidence of being a physicist? 😁 journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...
Relaxed Phase-Matching Constraints in Zero-Index Waveguides
Experiments in Dirac-cone metamaterials present the first observation of direction-independent phase matching in a medium where phase matching is relevant for parametric nonlinear optical processes.

Still not very, but there’s tons of remote opportunities these days!

Yea this last one is really a thing. I think a lot of those AI photonics startups pivoted exactly this way.

You really couldn’t get away with that. VCs ask too many questions, you’d effectively be working on 2 companies simultaneously

Seems cool, looking forward to reading it more closely

Frequency conversion using approaches different from conventional nonlinearities opens the door to working with low-intensity incoherent light, perhaps eventually as slow as nightglow at night

Fun and rewarding collaboration between UW-Madison, Stanford, and Argonne arxiv.org/abs/2411.18707
