The Purcell effect describes the enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate of an emitter near a resonant structure. However, evaluating the Purcell factor quantitatively and empirically is difficult due to the difficulties in measuring…
We study the modification of the atomic spontaneous emission rate, i.e. Purcell effect, of $^{87}$Rb in the vicinity of an optical nanofiber ($\sim$500 nm diameter). We observe enhancement and inhibition of the atomic decay rate depending…
We present an inverse design approach to significantly improve the figures-of-merit for chiral photon elements and quantum emitters in topological photonic crystal slab waveguides. Beginning with a topological waveguide mode with a group…
Light-matter interactions can be dramatically modified by the surrounding environment. Here we report on the first experimental observation of molecular spontaneous emission inside a highly nonlocal metamaterial based on a plasmonic nanorod…
We report the observation of the generation and routing of single plasmons generated by localized excitons in a WSe$_2$ monolayer flake exfoliated onto lithographically defined Au-plasmonic waveguides. Statistical analysis of the position…
Based on the Lorenz-Mie theory, we derive analytical expressions of radiative and nonradiative transition rates for different orientations of a point dipole emitter in the vicinity of an infinitely long circular cylinder of arbitrary…
Semiconductor quantum dots have recently emerged as a leading platform to efficiently generate highly indistinguishable photons, and this work addresses the timely question of how good these solid-state sources can ultimately be. We…
The spontaneous emission of atoms can be controlled by placing them between two mirrors that form an optical cavity. Rapid advances in material processing techniques in the last 10 years have made it possible to fabricate microscopic…
The ability to control the spatial distribution of light, particularly in deep sub-wavelength areas, is important for a range of materials science, microscopy, and communications applications. Separately, materials science and…
Since Purcell's seminal report 75 years ago, electromagnetic resonators have been used to control light-matter interactions to make brighter radiation sources and unleash unprecedented control over quantum states of light and matter.…
We present a fully three-dimensional Bloch mode expansion technique and photon Green function formalism to compute the quality factor, mode volume, and Purcell enhancement distributions of a disordered W1 photonic crystal slab waveguide in…
The Purcell factor $F_p$ is a key quantity in cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) that quantifies the coupling rate between a dipolar emitter and a cavity mode. Its simple form $F_p\propto Q/V$ unravels the possible strategies to enhance…
We present an analytical model for plasmonic enhancement of metal photoluminescence (MPL) in metal nanostructures with characteristic size below the diffraction limit. In such systems, the primary mechanism of MPL enhancement is excitation…
Plasmon oscillations have been intensively studied for more than forty years in conventional two-dimensional electron gas systems in order to find new alternatives to the vacuum devices based on the Smith-Purcell effect in the far-infrared…
The meson-photon transition form factors $\gamma\gamma^*\to P$ ($P$ stands for $\pi$, $\eta$ and $\eta'$) provide strong constraints on the distribution amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons. In this paper, these transition form factors are…
Tightly bound dark excitons in atomically thin semiconductors can be used for various optoelectronic applications including light storage and quantum communication. Their optical accessibility is however limited due to their out-of-plane…
We investigate scattering process in an ultra-high-Q optical microcavity coupled to subwavelength scatterers by introducing "splitting quality" Qsp, a dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio of the scatterer-induced mode splitting to…
Guided-wave plasmonic circuits are promising platforms for sensing, interconnection, and quantum applications in the sub-diffraction regime. Nonetheless, the loss-confinement trade-off remains a collective bottleneck for plasmonic-enhanced…
The decay rate $\gam$ of an excited dipole molecule inside a waveguide is evaluated for the strongly coupled matter-field case near a cutoff frequency $\ome_c$ without using perturbation analysis. Due to the singularity in the density of…
Spontaneous emission and Lamb shift of atoms in absorbing dielectrics are discussed. A Green's-function approach is used based on the multipolar interaction Hamiltonian of a collection of atomic dipoles with the quantised radiation field.…
