3 Quantum theory of multimode fields : Applications to optical resonators

نویسنده

چکیده

A recently developed technique for the system–and–bath quantization of open optical cavities is applied to three resonator geometries: A one dimensional dielectric, a Fabry–Perot resonator, and a dielectric disk. The system–and–bath Hamiltonian for these geometries is derived starting from Maxwell's equations and employed to compute the electromagnetic fields, the resonances, and the cavity gain factors. Exact agreement is found with standard quantization methods based on a modes–of–the–universe description. Our analysis provides a microscopic justification for the system–and–bath quantization even in the regime of spectrally overlapping modes.

Compact Wavelength Demultiplexer via Photonic Crystal Multimode Resonators

Wavelength demultiplexers based on photonic crystal resonators are attractive, since they may be realized in very small sizes. However, existing designs have a limitation on the size, since they all require one resonator for each wavelength and these resonators must be separated. As a possible approach to reduce the size further, we show that a single multimode resonator may be used to separate...

M ay 2 00 5 Multimode circular integrated optical micro - resonators : Coupled mode theory modeling

A frequency domain model of multimode circular microresonators for filter applications in integrated optics is investigated. Analytical basis modes of 2D bent waveguides or curved interfaces are combined with modes of straight channels in a spatial coupled mode theory framework. Free of fitting parameters, the model allows to predict quite efficiently the spectral response of the microresonator...

Multimode Hong-Ou-Mandel Interferometry

We review some recent experiments based upon multimode two-photon interference of photon pairs created by spontaneous parametric downconversion. The new element provided by these experiments is the inclusion of the transverse spatial profiles of the pump, signal and idler fields. We discuss multimode Hong-Ou-Mandel interference, and show that the transverse profile of the pump beam can be manip...

Steady-state, cavityless, multimode superradiance in a cold vapor

We demonstrate steady-state, mirrorless superradiance in a cold vapor pumped by weak optical fields. Beyond a critical pump intensity of 1 mW/cm2, the vapor spontaneously transforms into a spatially self-organized state: a density grating forms. Scattering of the pump beams off this grating generates a pair of new, intense optical fields that act back on the vapor to enhance the atomic organiza...
