Field representation for optical defect resonances in multilayer microcavities using quasi-normal modes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quasi-Normal Modes are used to characterize transmission resonances in 1D optical defect cavities and the related field approximations. We specialize to resonances inside the bandgap of the periodic multilayer mirrors that enclose the defect cavities. Using a template with the most relevant QNMs a variational principle permits to represent the field and the spectral transmission close to resonances.

Coupled optical defect microcavities in 1D photonic crystals and quasi-normal modes
We analyze coupled optical defect cavities realized in finite one-dimensional Photonic Crystals. Viewing these as open systems where waves are permitted to leave the structures, one obtains eigenvalue problems for complex frequencies (eigenvalues) and Quasi-Normal-Modes (eigenfunctions). Single defect structures (photonic crystal atoms) can be viewed as elementary building blocks for multiple-d...
متن کاملStatic envelope patterns in composite resonances generated by level crossing in optical toroidal microcavities.
We study level crossing in the optical whispering-gallery (WG) modes by using toroidal microcavities. Experimentally, we image the stationary envelope patterns of the composite optical modes that arise when WG modes of different wavelengths coincide in frequency. Numerically, we calculate crossings of levels that correspond with the observed degenerate modes, where our method takes into account...

We present a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the evanescent coupled optical microcavity modes in one-dimensional photonic bandgap structures. The coupled-cavity samples are fabricated by depositing alternating hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride and silicon oxide layers. Splitting of the eigenmodes and formation of a defect band due to interaction between the neighbouring loca...
متن کاملDispersion-guided resonances in two-dimensional photonic-crystal-embedded microcavities.
We analyze dispersion-based guiding of resonances in two-dimensional (2-D) photonic-crystal-embedded microcavities (PCEMs) that comprise a finite-size square lattice of submicrometer air holes embedded in a high-index contrast square microcavity. Our 2-D finite-difference time-domain simulations of waveguide side-coupled PCEMs suggest high-Q quasi-periodic multimodes within the PC first band. T...
متن کاملSymmetric photonic molecules formed from coupled microspheres
Coherent coupling of optical resonances in spherical microcavities results in the formation of so called photonic molecules. The name originates from the analogy to chemical molecules. The coupled optical modes are similar to the atomic orbitals of a chemical molecule. In this work, we studied the resonance spectrum of the symmetric photonic molecules. Furthermore, symmetric directional emissio...
