Design of photonic crystal microcavities for cavity QED.

چکیده
We discuss the optimization of optical microcavity designs based on two-dimensional photonic crystals for the purpose of strong coupling between the cavity field and a single neutral atom trapped within a hole. We present numerical predictions for the quality factors and mode volumes of localized defect modes as a function of geometric parameters, and discuss some experimental challenges related to the coupling of a defect cavity to gas-phase atoms.

Photonic crystal microcavities for chip-based cavity QED
The suitability of recently demonstrated high quality factor (Q), ultra-small mode volume (Veff) graded square lattice photonic crystal microcavities for cavity QED experiments is discussed. In addition to the basic importance of the Q and Veff of such cavities, other issues of both practical and fundamental relevance are considered. Included amongst these are the robustness of the cavity’s per...
متن کاملCavity QED with quantum dots in semiconductor microcavities
Cavity quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects are studied in semiconductor microcavities embedded with InGaAs quantum dots. Evidence of weak coupling in the form of lifetime enhancement (the Purcell effect) and inhibition is found in both oxide-apertured micropillars and photonic crystals. In addition, high-efficiency, low-threshold lasing is observed in the photonic crystal cavities where only 2...
متن کاملSemiconductor Optical Microcavities for Chip-Based Cavity QED
Optical microcavities can be characterized by two key quantities: an effective mode volume Veff, which describes the per photon electric field strength within the cavity, and a quality factor Q, which describes the photon lifetime within the cavity. Cavities with a small Veff and a high Q offer the promise for applications in nonlinear optics, sensing, and cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity...
متن کاملDesign of high-Q Cavities in Photosensitive Material-based Photonic Crystal Slab Heterostructures
We propose a novel concept for creating high-Q cavities in photonic crystal slabs (PCS). We show that photonic crystal slab-based double heterostructure cavities, formed by variations in the refractive index, can have large a Q-factor (up to Q = 1× 10), and that such cavities can be implemented in chalcogenide glasses using their photosensitive properties.

متن کاملAn Inverse–Problem Approach to Designing Photonic Crystals for Cavity QED
Photonic band gap (PBG) materials are attractive for cavity QED experiments because they provide extremely small mode volumes and are monolithic, integratable structures. As such, PBG cavities are a promising alternative to Fabry-Perot resonators. However, the cavity requirements imposed by QED experiments, such as the need for high Q (low cavity damping) and small mode volumes, present signifi...
