Scanning time-resolved optical studies on Kagome superconductors The kagome lattice provides a fascinating playground to study geometrical frustration, topology and strong correlations. The newly discovered kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) exhibit exotic phases including charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity. In our study, we perform scanning birefringence and circular dichroism (CD) microscopy on CsV3Sb5. The scanning […]

TITLE: Optics with a Twist for Material Characterization ABSTRACT: Optical wavefront shaping (WFS) involves the ability to manipulate light fields both spatially and temporally. It has largely been enabled by the availability of spatial light modulators (SLM). SLMs are used to create arbitrarily complex light fields and also provide means to manipulate the funda- mental […]
