Third harmonic generation in fused silica microdisk

Saw this a while ago and thought it was pretty cool. We will probably have a look at similar second harmonic generation in the GaP microdisks.

Evanescent straight tapered-fiber coupling in helium exchange cryostat

Hey guys here is a paper by T. Kippenberg detailing how they set up straight fiber tapers in their cryostat. Seeing as how we will be doing this soon it would be good to have a look at it. 

Phonon Cooling and Lasing with Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond

Here's another theory paper (sorry)! It seemed like a really interesting idea.

Optical fiber coupling idea

From a discussion with Paul I understand that there was a project this summer along these lines, so I just thought I'd share:
