Optical microcavities allow to strongly confine light in small mode volumes and with long photon lifetimes. This confinement significantly enhances the interaction between light and matter inside the cavity, with applications such as…

With a highly coherent, optically addressable electron spin, the nitrogen vacancy (NV) centre in diamond is a promising candidate for a node in a quantum network. However, the NV centre is a poor source of coherent single photons owing to a…

We experimentally realized an optical nanofiber-based cavity by combining a 1-D photonic crystal and Bragg grating structures. The cavity morphology comprises a periodic, triplex air-cube introduced at the waist of the nanofiber. The cavity…

The nanocrystallite have the finite number of the oscillation modes. Their number increases proportionally to a cube of the characteristic size. Thus the oscillation spectrum of nanocrystal becomes discrete, and the separate modes of…

We report on the realization of an optical microcavity consisting in the plane-plane arrangement of two suspended resonant mirrors possessing spectrally overlapping high-quality factor internal resonances. We first investigate its generic…

A two-dimensional photonic crystal semiconductor microcavity with a quality factor Q ~ 40,000 and a modal volume Veff ~ 0.9 cubic wavelengths is demonstrated. A micron-scale optical fiber taper is used as a means to probe both the spectral…

We demonstrate photonic crystal nanobeam cavities that support both TE- and TM-polarized modes, each with a Quality factor greater than one million and a mode volume on the order of the cubic wavelength. We show that these orthogonally…

Devices based on two-dimensional photonic-crystal (2D-PC) nanocavities, which are defined by their air hole patterns, usually require a high quality (Q) factor to achieve high performance. We demonstrate that hole patterns with very high Q…

The paper establishes explicit lower bounds for the lattice cell size of periodic structures (metamaterials and photonic crystals) capable of supporting backward waves and producing negative refraction. At optical frequencies, this result…

We demonstrate experimentally an air-slot mode-gap photonic crystal cavity with quality factor of 15,000 and modal volume of 0.02 cubic wavelengths, based on the design of an air-slot in a width-modulated line-defect in a photonic crystal…

The diffraction of electromagnetic plane waves by a rectangular grating formed by discrete steps in the interface of a homogeneous, isotropic, linear, negative phase--velocity (negative index) material with free space is studied using the…

In this paper, we propose a microcavity supported by a designed photonic crystal structure (PhC) that supplies both tunability of cavity modes and quality factor of cavity. Low symmetric defect region provides a trigger effect for the…
