Resonance fluorescence in photonic band gap waveguide architectures: Engineering the vacuum for all-optical switching
We describe the spectral characteristics of the radiation scattered by two-level atoms (quantum dots) driven by a strong external field, and coupled to a photonic crystal radiation reservoir. We show that in the presence of strong variations with the frequency of the photonic reservoir density of states, the atomic, Mollow, sideband components of the scattered intensity can be strongly modified...
متن کاملCoherent all-optical switching by resonant quantum-dot distributions in photonic band-gap waveguides
We study the detailed propagative characteristics of optical pulses in photonic band-gap PBG waveguides, coupled near resonantly to inhomogeneously broadened distributions of quantum dots. The line centers of the quantum-dot QD distributions are placed near a sharp discontinuity in the local electromagnetic density of states. Using finite-difference time-domain FDTD simulations of optical pulse...
متن کاملAll-Optical Transistor Action in Photonic Band Gap Materials
We describe all-optical transistor action in photonic band gap materials doped with active atoms. In the presence of a photonic band gap (PBG) material, a coherent laser beam with the frequency slightly detuned from the resonant atomic transition frequency can drive a collection of two-level atoms to an almost totally inverted state, a phenomenon strictly forbidden in ordinary vacuum. By changi...
متن کاملPhotonic band gap architectures for holographic lithography.
Using symmetry considerations, we identify three families of large photonic band-gap (PBG) architectures defined by the isointensity surfaces of four beam laser interference. For particular choices of beam intensities, directions, and polarizations, we obtain a diamondlike crystal, a novel body-centered cubic architecture, and a simple cubic structure with PBG to center frequency ratios of 25%,...
متن کاملEngineering the electromagnetic vacuum for controlling light with light in a photonic-band-gap microchip
We demonstrate a trimodal waveguide architecture in a three-dimensional (3D) photonic-band-gap (PBG) material, in which the local electromagnetic density of states (LDOS) within and adjacent to the waveguide exhibits a forklike wavelength filter characteristic. This facilitates the control and switching of one laser beam with other laser beams ( ,1 mW steady-state holding power and ,5 nW switch...
