We theoretically present vector solitons in a waveguide array whose components belong to different bands, where light in the first mode is concentrated primarily in the waveguides and the second component is a radiative mode in which light is primarily concentrated in between sites.

We report the experimental demonstration of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) in a GaAs quantum well, in which the absorption of an exciton resonance is reduced by more than twenty-fold. The destructive quantum interference for EIT is set up by a biexciton coherence.

Ultrafast coherent dynamics of optically-inactive excitons in photo-excited quantum wells are investigated. The exciton momentum distribution follows an interesting moving pattern driven by the Coulomb coupling between the interband polarization and excitons with non-zero momenta.

Two-color time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy is used to manipulate and detect the dynamics of carrier-induced ferromagnetism in III-V ferromagnetic semiconductors. Our data demonstrates that magnetic properties, e.g., the coercivity, can be tuned reversibly and nonthermally on subpicosecond time scale.

We propose a novel generic approach to laser cooling based on non-resonant interactions with optical standing waves experiencing random sudden phase jumps. The technique, termed "optical shaking", is applicable to the cooling of atoms and molecules to high phase space densities and without the loss of particles typical of evaporative cooling.

Doubly phase-matched cascaded four-wave mixing in tapered fibers is demonstrated using femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pulses. The first stage of this cascade involves phase-matched third-harmonic generation. At the second stage, the third harmonic and fundamental radiation generate new spectral components through phase-matched parametric wave mixing.
