This is a video of our experiment at Stanford University in Jelena Vuckovic's lab. Read on for the awesomeness ...
There are two bright spots. The top bright spot is laser light scattered from a photonic crystal cavity, which is being frequency modulated by a heating laser (lower bright spot). As the cavity wavelength changes, it crosses the probing laser beam and scatters the light to the CCD camera. The direct background scatter is eliminated by a cross-polarization measurement scheme.
Amazing! I read the paper some time back but this video is really striking! I wish more people would upload videos of such breakthroughs.
