Theory of single-photon transport in a single-mode waveguide. II. Coupling to a whispering- gallery resonator containing a two-level atom
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the single-photon transport in a single-mode waveguide coupled to a whispering-gallery-type resonator interacting with a two-level atom. The single-photon transport properties such as the transmission and reflection amplitudes, as well as the resonator and the atom responses, are solved exactly via a real-space approach. The treatment includes the intermode backscattering between the two degenerate whispering-gallery modes of the resonator, and the dissipations of the resonator and the atom. We also show that a generalized critical coupling condition, that the single-photon transmission at the output of the waveguide goes to zero on resonance for a matched system, holds for the full coupled waveguide-ring resonator-atom system.

Two-photon transport through a waveguide coupling to a whispering-gallery resonator containing an atom and photon-blockade effect
We investigate the two-photon transport through a waveguide side coupling to a whispering-gallery-atom system. Using the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann reduction approach, we present the general formula for the two-photon processes including the two-photon scattering matrices, the wave functions, and the second order correlation functions of the outgoing photons. Based on the exact results of the ...
متن کاملQuantum critical coupling conditions for zero single-photon transmission through a coupled atom-resonator-waveguide system
The quantum critical coupling conditions, where single-photon transmission goes to zero, for systems of a coupled ring resonator and atom in a one-dimensional single-mode waveguide are discussed. The quantum critical coupling conditions could be achieved even with nonvanishing intrinsic losses of the resonator and the atom, with intermode backscattering between the whispering-gallery modes of t...

In this paper, we study the coherent transport of single photon in a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) where two threelevel Λ-type atomic ensembles are embedded in two separate cavities. We show that it is possible to control the photon transmission and reflection coefficients by using classical control fields. In particular, we find that the total photon transmission and reflection are achieva...

The single-photon transport in a single-mode waveguide, coupled to a cavity embedded with a two-level atom, is analyzed. The single-photon transmission and reflection amplitudes, as well as the cavity and the atom excitation amplitudes, are solved exactly via a real-space approach. It is shown that the dissipations of the cavity and of the atom, respectively, affect distinctively on the transpo...

We investigate the possibility of using dielectric microdisk resonators for the optical detection of single atoms trapped and cooled in magnetic microtraps near the surface of a substrate. The bound and evanescent fields of optical whispering-gallery modes are calculated and the coupling to straight waveguides is investigated using finite-difference time domain solutions of Maxwell’s equations....
