开放式法布里-珀罗光学微腔中光与单量子系统的相互作用

光与物质相互作用的过程具有丰富的物理内涵,不仅有助于理解光的本质,更可以提供一种有效操控物质的手段.开放式光学微腔具有光场强局域性、频率域和空间域的可调谐性以及光纤可集成性等特点,为研究微腔内的光与物质相互作用提供了一个理想平台.本文首先介绍基于开放式法布里-珀罗微腔的腔量子电动力学系统的基本特性,然后介绍开放式法布里-珀罗微腔结构的制备方法,进而从弱耦合、强耦合和差发射体三方面着重介绍近年来开放式微腔与固态单量子系统相互作用的研究工作,最后进行了总结与展望.     

Absorption saturation measurement using the tapered optical nanofiber in a hot cesium vapor

We report the observation of ultralow-power absorption saturation in a tapered optical fiber(TOF) mounted in a hot cesium(Cs) vapor in a vacuum chamber. The small optical mode area of TOF produces a great influence on optical properties, allowing optical interactions with nanowatt-level power. The comparison of transmission characteristics for the TOF system and free-space vapor is investigated at different input power and atomic density. The unique performance of the Cs-TOF system makes it a promising candidate in resonant nonlinear optical applications with ultralow power.
