Two-dimensional (2-D) boundary integral equation analysis of a notched circular microdisk resonator is presented. Results obtained provide accurate description of optical modes, free from the staircasing and discretization errors of other…
We design coupled optical microcavities and report directional light emission from high-$Q$ modes for a broad range of refractive indices. The system consists of a circular cavity that provides a high-$Q$ mode in form of a whispering…
There are some issues with traditional whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators like poor light extraction and a dense mode spectrum. In this paper we introduce a solution to these limitations by proposing open WGM (OWGM) resonators that…
We present a new design of dielectric microcavities supporting modes with large quality factors and highly directional light emission. The key idea is to place a point scatterer inside a dielectric circular microdisk. We show that,…
We introduce a new scheme to design optical microcavities supporting high-Q modes with unidirectional light emission. This is achieved by coupling a low-Q mode with unidirectional emission to a high-Q mode. The coupling is due to enhanced…
Circular microresonators are micron sized dielectric disks embedded in material of lower refractive index. They possess modes of extremely high Q-factors (low lasing thresholds) which makes them ideal candidates for the realization of…
Mechanisms of whispering-gallery (WG) modes coupling in microdisk photonic molecules (PMs) with slight and significant size mismatch are numerically investigated. The results reveal two different scenarios of modes interaction depending on…
The mechanism of unidirectional emission of high Q Whispering Gallery mode in deformed circular micro- cavities is studied and firstly presented in this paper. In phase space, light in the chaotic sea leaks out the cavity through the…
Efficient micro-resonators simultaneously require a large quality factor $Q$ and a small volume $V$. However, the former is ultimately limited by bending losses, the unavoidable radiation of energy of a wave upon changing direction of…
The local chiral symmetry between clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) propagating light in a deformed microcavity can be broken by wave optics effects, which become significant as the cavity size approaches the wavelength. We show…
We perform numerical studies of the effect of sidewall imperfections on the resonant state broadening of the optical microdisk cavities for lasing applications. We demonstrate that even small edge roughness causes a drastic degradation of…
Fast and highly accurate method based on the Muller contour integral equations and a trigonometric-trigonometric Galerkin discretization technique is presented for spectral design and fine-tuning of clusters of whispering-gallery (WG) mode…
Similar to microspheres, thin-walled microbubble resonators support whispering gallery modes (WGMs) that combine ultrahigh Q-factors and small effective mode volumes. In contrast, their hollow nature enables enhanced interactions with…
In lima\c{c}on-shaped gradient index dielectric cavities designed by conformal transformation optics, the variation of Q-factors and emission directionality of resonant modes was traced in their system parameter space. For these cavities,…
We experimentally demonstrate that side-coupling of coplanar bent optical fibers can induce a high Q-factor whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical microresonator. To explain the effect, we consider WGMs with wavelengths close to the cutoff…
Integrated photonic circuits are foundational for versatile applications, where high-performance traveling-wave optical resonators are critical. Conventional whispering-gallery mode microresonators (WGMRs) confine light in closed-loop…
Optical microcavities support Whispering Gallery Modes (WGMs) with a very high quality factor Q. However, WGMs typically display a far-field isotropic emission profile and modifying this far-field profile without spoiling the associated…
Optical microdisk cavities with certain asymmetric shapes are known to possess unidirectional far-field emission properties. Here, we investigate arrays of these dielectric microresonators with respect to their emission properties resulting…
Chiral light-matter interaction can lead to directional emission of two-level light emitters in waveguides. This interesting physics effect has raised considerable attention in recent years especially in terms of on-chip quantum systems. In…
