Single-mode lasing in a coupled twin circular-side-octagon microcavity

We demonstrate the curvature of coupled twin circular-side-octagon microcavity (TCOM) lasers as the degree of freedom to realize manipulation of mode quality ($Q$) factor and lasing characteristics. Numerical simulation results indicate that mode $Q$ factors varying from 10$^{4 }$ to 10$^{8}$, wavelength intervals of different transverse modes, and mode numbers for four-bounce modes can be manipulated for five different deformations. Global mode distributes throughout coupled microcavity with mode $Q$ factor around the order of 10$^{4 }$ or 10$^{5}$. Four-bounce modes lase with injection currents applied single microcavity. By pumping both microcavities simultaneously, single-mode lasing for global modes with side mode suppression ratios (SMSRs) of 30, 32, 32, 31, and 36 dB is achieved at the deformation of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 with four-bounce modes suppressed, respectively. Moreover, the linewidths less than 11 MHz for the single mode are obtained with the deformation of 2. The results show that the lasing modes can be efficiently manipulated considering variable curvature for TCOM lasers, which can promote practical applications of microcavity lasers.     

Quantum theory of whispering gallery modes in a cylindrical optical microcavity

The quantum interpretation of whispering gallery modes in a cylindrical optical microcavity is presented in analogy with quantum mechanical theory. The formulas for the resonance shifts caused by a small change in correlative refractive index are derived. Then they are applied to two applications of the cylindrical microcavity to probe the change of surrounding medium and the nonlinear effect of cavity's surface.     

微腔或纳腔中的光—物质相互作用

光学微腔通常由透明介质做成,是用于将光子囚禁在其自身内部的结构。而光学纳腔是类比于微腔,泛指一类能将光场局域在极亚波长的纳米尺度上的结构,一般是由金属性材料与透明介质共同构成的。在与原子分子等量子体系相互作用方面,微腔和纳腔分别从提高腔的品质因子或减小腔的模式体积两个方面来增强光与物质的相互作用。两者殊途同归,区别又相互联系。微腔量子体系一般具有更长的寿命(或量子态相干时间),而纳腔体系的优点是体积小、超快响应且无需低温运行,在发展集成光学芯片方面更有优势。在实际应用中,两者各具特色,相得益彰。     

Three-dimensional photon confinement in a spherical microcavity with CdTe quantum dots: Raman spectroscopy

We have studied the Raman spectra of a system consisting of a polystyrene latex microsphere coated by CdTe colloidal quantum dots. The cavity-induced enhancement of the Raman scattering allows the observation of Raman spectra from only one CdTe monolayer. Periodic structure with very narrow peaks in the Raman spectra of a single microsphere was detected both in Stokes and anti-Stokes spectral regions, arising from the coupling between the emission from quantum dots and spherical cavity modes.     

Efficiency of frequency-pulsed excitation of a micron-sized spherical microcavity by chirped ultrashort laser radiation

Peculiarities of internal optical field resonant excitation inside micron-sized spherical transparent dielectric cavity illuminated by a train of ultrashort laser pulses are investigated. On an example of water microdroplet is shown that optimal tuning of incident radiation to a selected high-Q resonance electromagnetic cavity mode can be realized by varying temporal interpulse interval in a laser train together with linear frequency modulation of every pulse (chirp). Efficiency of resonant particle excitation by a chirped picosecond pulses train can be considerably increased as compared to unchirped pulse train and CW excitation also.     

Mathematical study of the two-dimensional lasing problem for the whispering-gallery modes in a circular dielectric microcavity

Microdisk lasers are investigated for their thresholds characteristics. We present a novel approach for studying the threshold gains of the whispering-gallery (WG) and other modes based on solving the boundary value problem for the Maxwell's equations. The novelty is that we consider the real-value pairs of frequencies and material gains as eigenvalues. In the two-dimensional (2D) approximation this problem is reduced to the set of independent transcendental equations. A Newton's method is further used to calculate the thresholds and natural frequencies numerically.     

氢负离子在微腔中的光剥离研究

利用闭合轨道理论,研究了氢负离子在金属面和弹性界面组成的微腔中的光剥离截面.结果表明,微腔的上下表面对氢负离子的光剥离截面产生很大影响.若固定金属面与氢负离子之间的距离不变,当弹性界面与氢负离子之间的距离很大时,弹性界面对氢负离子光剥离截面的影响很小,光剥离截面的振荡幅度和振荡频率与只有金属面时的情况类似.随着弹性界面和氢负离子之间距离的不断减小,光剥离截面的振荡幅度增大,振荡频率减小.若保持氢负离子和弹性界面之间的距离不变,随着金属面和氢负离子之间距离d₀的不断增大, 关键词： 光剥离截面 闭合轨道理论 微腔     

Optical Tamm state polaritons in a quantum well microcavity with gold layers

A new type of cavity polariton,the optical Tamm state(OTS) polariton,is proposed to be realized by sandwiching a quantum well(QW) between a gold layer and a distributed Bragg reflector(DBR).It is shown that OTS polaritons can be generated from the strong couplings between the QW excitons and the free OTSs.In addition,if a second gold layer is introduced into the bottom of the DBR,two independent free OTSs can interact strongly with the QW excitons to produce extra OTS polaritons.

Surface plasmon polaritons mediated by surface modes in a metal-based photonic crystal complex structure

A hybrid metal–organic–photonic crystal (PC), a gold film with a SU8 film on its top followed by a three-dimensional (3D) PC, was designed to exercise additional control upon the photon behaviors. Attenuated total reflection measurements demonstrate that the 3D PC plays a crucial role in the formation of significant optical properties of the metal-based hybrid and the reflectivity minimum in its reflectivity curve is, mostly, a result of synergetic action of the coupling of surface plasmon polaritons to surface modes and additional guided modes yielded in the resonant cavity composed of the gold film and the PC.

By means of the Glauber＇s coherent state method combined with multiple-scale method, this paper investigates the localized modes in a quantum one-dimensional Klein-Gordon chain and finds that the equation of motion of annihilation operator is reduced to the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Interestingly, the model can support both bright and dark small amplitude travelling and non-travelling nonlinear localized modes in different parameter spaces.     

Approximate analytic expressions for calculation of spontaneous emission spectra for a quantum well embedded in a planar microcavity

The control of spontaneous emission is one of important characteristics of a planar microcavity. The integrals in the spherical coordinate for TE and TM modes spontaneous emission spectra of a quantum well (QW) embedded in a planar microcavity are derived with new variables dependent on wavelength and Taylor series including the two polarizations of the vacuum field. The approximate expressions of spontaneous emission in QW planar microcavities are obtained. The approximate results show that spontaneous emission spectra agree well with that in the numerical integral for planar semiconductor microcavities, in which Fermi-Dirac distribution functions of electrons and holes are considered. The main contribution to the spontaneous emission, radiated into all direction, has been found.
