IQSL-Grating Cavity Strong Optical Confinement between Non-periodic Flat Dielectric Gratings
We present a novel design of optical micro-cavity where the optical energy resides primarily in free space, therefore is readily accessible to foreign objects such as atoms, molecules, mechanical resonators, etc. We describe the physics of these resonators, and propose a design method based on stochastic optimization. Cavity designs with diffraction-limited mode volumes and quality factors in t...
متن کاملNanoplatelets as material system between strong confinement and weak confinement
Recently, the fabrication of CdSe nanoplatelets became an important research topic. Nanoplatelets are often described as having a similar electronic structure as two-dimensional quantum wells and are promoted as colloidal quantum wells with monolayer precision width. In this paper we show that nanoplatelets are not ideal quantum wells, but cover depending on the size: the strong confinement reg...
متن کاملSurface plasmons at nanoscale relief gratings between a metal and a dielectric medium with optical gain
Surface plasmons at the interface between metal and a dielectric with strong optical amplification are analyzed theoretically. It is shown that proper choice of optical indices of the dielectric medium results in an infinitely large effective refractive index of surface waves. Such resonant plasmons have extremely low group velocity and are localized within a vanishingly small distance near the...
متن کاملDielectric binary blazed gratings.
Artificial index gratings, which are composed of binary microstructures of sizes less than the incident wavelength, are analyzed as functions of the filling factor or duty cycle of the microstructures. Different models for calculating the optimum duty cycles to produce high blazed diffraction efficiency are compared. Blazed binary grating designs in a material with a refractive index n = 2 show...
متن کاملTheory of dielectric nanofilms in strong ultrafast optical fields
We theoretically predict that a dielectric nanofilm subjected to a normally incident strong but ultrashort (a few optical oscillations) laser pulse exhibits deeply nonlinear (nonperturbative) optical responses which are essentially reversible and driven by the instantaneous optical field. Among them is a high optical polarization and a significant population of the conduction band, which develo...
