Quality Factor Improvement for Nano Cavity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the increasing of quality factor in the stimulated amplification of surface plasmon polaritons at visible frequencies was reported. Laser science has been successful in producing high powered, faster, and smaller coherent light sources. Such lasers are restricted, both in optical mode size and physical device dimension, to being larger than half the wavelength of the optical field, and it remains a key fundamental challenge to realize ultra-compact lasers that can directly generate coherent optical fields at the nanometer scale, far beyond the diffraction limit. A way of addressing this issue is to make use of surface plasmons, which are capable of tightly localizing light, but so far ohmic losses at optical frequencies have inhibited the realization of truly nanometer-scale lasers based on such approaches. We design a plasmonic laser with quality factor equal 900 at wavelength 500 nm.

We propose and demonstrate a hybrid cavity system in which metal nanoparticles are evanescently coupled to a dielectric photonic crystal cavity using a nanoassembly method. While the metal constituents lead to strongly localized fields, optical feedback is provided by the surrounding photonic crystal structure. The combined effect of plasmonic field enhancement and high quality factor (Q approx...

We study the resonant modes of nanoscale disk resonators sustaining metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmons and demonstrate the versatility of these cavities to achieve ultrasmall cavity mode volume.

Three-dimensional (3D) microwave cavities have been extensively used for coupling and interacting with superconducting quantum bits (qubits), providing a versatile platform for quantum control experiments and for realizing hybrid quantum systems. While having high quality factors (>106) superconducting cavities do not permit magnetic field control of qubits. In contrast, cavities made of normal...
