Control of spatial quantum fluctuations using photonic crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical parametric oscillators emit light with non-classical correlations between opposite spatial modes (twin beams). We consider these devices in presence of an intracavity photonic crystal, modeled by a spatial modulation of the refractive index. The introduction of photonic crystals allows to control not only the macroscopic transverse profile of the emitted light beam but also its quantum fluctuations. We employ the Q representation to study pump and signal spatial correlations.

On-chip steering of entangled photons in nonlinear photonic crystals.
One promising technique for working toward practical photonic quantum technologies is to implement multiple operations on a monolithic chip, thereby improving stability, scalability and miniaturization. The on-chip spatial control of entangled photons will certainly benefit numerous applications, including quantum imaging, quantum lithography, quantum metrology and quantum computation. However,...
متن کاملAn experimental study of strongly modified emission in inverse opal photonic crystals
We present the first experiments that demonstrate strong angle-independent modification of spontaneous emission spectra from laser dyes in photonic crystals, made of inverse opals in titania. We show that both the fluorescence quantum efficiency and weak disorder play a key role in interpreting the experimental data. We compare the angle-independent emission spectra of dye in photonic crystals ...

متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...
