A recently developed technique for the system–and–bath quantization of open optical cavities is applied to three resonator geometries: A one dimensional dielectric, a Fabry–Perot resonator, and a dielectric disk. The system–and–bath Hamiltonian for these geometries is derived starting from Maxwell’s equations and employed to compute the electromagnetic fields, the resonances, and the cavity gai...

We report on a study of a 698 nm extended cavity semiconductor laser with intracavity narrowband optical feedback from a whispering gallery mode resonator. This laser comprises an ultrahigh-Q (>10(10)) resonator supporting stimulated Rayleigh scattering, a diffraction grating wavelength preselector, and a reflective semiconductor amplifier. Single longitudinal mode lasing is characterized with ...

The Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) is one of the efficient radiator which is used to achieve broadband and cost effective communication in wireless technology. The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is the most assuring structure for implementation of circuits and components for millimeter wave and microwave applications. A design approach to improve the impedance bandwidth of ...

We investigate the electromechanical coupling between a nanomechanical resonator and two parametrically coupled superconducting coplanar waveguide cavities that are driven by a two-mode squeezed microwave source. We show that, with the selective coupling of the resonator to the cavity Bogoliubov modes, the radiation-pressure type coupling can be greatly enhanced by several orders of magnitude, ...

A compact 400-MHz half-wave spoke resonator (HWSR) superconducting crab cavity is being developed for the LHC upgrade. The cavity shape and the LOM/HOM couplers for such a design have been optimized to meet the space and beam dynamics requirements, and satisfactory RF parameters have been obtained. As it is known that multipacting is an issue of concern in a superconducting cavity which may lim...

A microfabricated Fabry-Perot optical resonator has been used for atom detection and photon production with less than 1 atom on average in the cavity mode. Our cavity design combines the intrinsic scalability of microfabrication processes with direct coupling of the cavity field to single-mode optical waveguides or fibers. The presence of the atom is seen through changes in both the intensity a...

Placing an ensemble of 10;{6} ultracold atoms in the near field of a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator with a quality factor Q approximately 10;{6}, one can achieve strong coupling between a single microwave photon in the coplanar waveguide resonator and a collective hyperfine qubit state in the ensemble with g_{eff}/2pi approximately 40 kHz larger than the cavity linewidth of kappa/...

Rare-earth-ion doped crystals are state-of-the-art materials for optical quantum memories and quantum transducers between optical and microwave photons. Here we describe our progress towards a nanophotonic quantum memory based on a rare-earth (Neodymium) doped yttrium orthosilicate (YSO) photonic crystal resonator. The Purcell-enhanced coupling of the 883 nm transitions of Neodymium (Nd) ions t...

We demonstrate that a photonic lattice with short- and long-range harmonic modulations of the refractive index facilitates formation of flat photonic bands and leads to slow propagation of light. The system can be considered a coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW): photonic bands with abnormally small dispersion are created due to the interaction of long-lived states in the cavity regions ...

– A gas of linearly polarizable particles transversely pumped by an off-resonant laser and interacting with the counterpropagating radiation modes of a ring cavity is studied. Depending on the pump intensity and the detunings the gas can form a self-organized density grating that enhances the feeding of the cavity. We investigate the system via a mean-field approach and find the thermodynamic p...
