Spontaneous-emission rates in finite photonic crystals of plane scatterers.
The concept of a plane scatterer that was developed earlier for scalar waves is generalized so that polarization of light is included. Starting from a Lippmann-Schwinger formalism for vector waves, we show that the Green function has to be regularized before T matrices can be defined in a consistent way. After the regularization, optical modes and Green functions are determined exactly for fini...
متن کاملQuantum Optics in Dispersive and Absorptive Media
Using microscopic models in which both photons and excitons are treated as microscopic degrees of freedom, we discuss polaritons of two cases: One is the case when excitonic parameters are time dependent. The time dependence causes creation of polaritons from a “false vacuum.” It is shown that both the creation sepctra and the creation efficiency are much different from the results of the previ...
متن کاملCoherent Backscattering of Light with Nonlinear Atomic Scatterers
We study coherent backscattering of a monochromatic laser by a dilute gas of cold two-level atoms in the weakly nonlinear regime. The nonlinear response of the atoms results in a modification of both the average field propagation (nonlinear refractive index) and the scattering events. Using a perturbative approach, the nonlinear effects arise from inelastic two-photon scattering processes. We p...
متن کاملModified Spontaneous Emission Rates in Diamond - Structured Photonic Crystals
The fundamental principle governing radiative transitions is Fermi’s golden rule [1], which states that, ignoring nonradiative pathways, the excited-state decay rate is directly proportional to the photonic density of states (DOS). The photonic DOS is simply the number of electromagnetic modes available for the emitted photons to couple into. This leads to the obvious conclusion that optical em...
متن کاملStrongly modified spontaneous emission rates in diamond-structured photonic crystals.
The spontaneous emission decay dynamics of nanocrystal quantum dots embedded into biotemplated titania photonic crystals with a diamond-based lattice are investigated. Modification of the decay rate of quantum dot emission over wide frequency bandwidths in the visible by the photonic crystals is observed. Frequency-dependent analysis reveals both inhibition and enhancement of emission with a ra...
