چکیده
The authors show how chiral exceptional surfaces can be used to tune the spontaneous emission rate from a single quantum emitter inside an optical microcavity, total suppression two fold enhancement compared similar cavity operating at diabolic point.

Spontaneous Emission in Microcavities with Distributed Mirrors
This paper presents an analytic approach to spontaneous emission in resonators with distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR’s). The foundation of our analysis is the hard mirror (or penetration depth) approximation, which we extend to radiation with both angular and frequency distributions. This has allowed us to derive approximate analytic expressions for the divergence angle of the spontaneous emis...
متن کاملSpontaneous Emission in Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Microcavities
The properties of the radiation field in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with and without a microcavity introduced are investigated through the concept of the position-dependent photon density of states. The position-dependent rate of spontaneous radiative decay for a two-level atom with random orientation is deduced from the photon density of states using the Fermi Golden Rule.
متن کاملTuning of spontaneous emission of two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavities by accurate control of slab thickness
We have found a blueshift in the cavity modes confined in two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavities when the thickness of the slab was varied uniformly by accurate dry etching. The shifts in the wavelength of the cavity modes were around 2 nm towards shorter wavelengths per nanometer reduced in the thickness of the slab. Three-dimensional plane wave expansion calculations showed that the o...
متن کاملGeneral theory of spontaneous emission near exceptional points.
We present a general theory of spontaneous emission at exceptional points (EPs)-exotic degeneracies in non-Hermitian systems. Our theory extends beyond spontaneous emission to any light-matter interaction described by the local density of states (e.g., absorption, thermal emission, and nonlinear frequency conversion). Whereas traditional spontaneous-emission theories imply infinite enhancement ...
متن کاملRotating optical microcavities with broken chiral symmetry.
We demonstrate in open microcavities with broken chiral symmetry that quasidegenerate pairs of copropagating-wave resonances are transformed by rotation to counterpropagating ones, leading to a striking change of emission directions. The rotation-induced relative change in output intensity increases exponentially with cavity size, in contrast to the linear scaling of the Sagnac effect. By tunin...
