Electromagnetically induced exciton mobility in a photonic band gap.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is suggested that an exciton in the engineered vacuum of a photonic-band-gap-quantum-well heterostructure exhibits electromagnetically induced anomalous quantum dynamics. The exciton is dressed by coherent emission and reabsorption of virtual photons near the photonic band edge and captured in momentum space, lowering its energy by 1-10 meV and lowering its effective mass by 4-5 orders of magnitude. The photonic band gap simultaneously enables strong coupling to confined optical modes and long exciton lifetime.

متن کاملInvestigating the Properties of an Optical Waveguide Based on Photonic Crystal with Point Defect and Lattice Constant Perturbation
In this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. Firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for TE/TM modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. After that, effects of parameters like...
متن کاملManipulating light pulses via dynamically controlled photonic band gap.
When a resonance associated with electromagnetically induced transparency in an atomic ensemble is modulated by an off-resonant standing light wave, a band of frequencies can appear for which light propagation is forbidden. We show that dynamic control of such a band gap can be used to coherently convert a propagating light pulse into a stationary excitation with nonvanishing photonic component...
متن کاملLow-light-level optical interactions with rubidium vapor in a photonic band-gap fiber.
We show that rubidium vapor can be produced within the core of a photonic band-gap fiber yielding an optical depth in excess of 2,000. Our technique for producing the vapor is based on coating the inner walls of the fiber core with organosilane and using light-induced atomic desorption to release Rb atoms into the core. As an initial demonstration of the potential of this system for supporting ...

In this research, we have studied the photonic band structure, optical properties and thermal emission spectrum of 2D Silicon photonic crystal with hexagonal structure. The band structure, band gap map and the gap size versus radius have been calculated by plane wave expansion method. The maximum band gap size of TE (TM) polarization and the complete gap size are 51% (20%) and 17% at air hole r...
