Measurement of spontaneous emission from a two-dimensional photonic band gap defined microcavity at near-infrared wavelengths

چکیده
An active, photonic band gap-based microcavity emitter in the near infrared is demonstrated. We present direct measurement of the spontaneous emission power and spectrum from a microcavity formed using a two-dimensional photonic band gap structure in a half wavelength thick slab waveguide. The appearance of cavity resonance peaks in the spectrum correspond to the photonic band gap energy. For detuned band gaps, no resonances are observed. For devices with correctly tuned band gaps, a two-time enhancement of the extraction efficiency was demonstrated compared to detuned band gaps and unpatterned material. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~99!01611-3#

Spontaneous Emission Spectrum from a Driven Three-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic Crystal
Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...
متن کاملStrain-tunable Photonic Band Gap Microcavity Waveguides in Silicon at 1.55 μm
The majority of photonic crystals developed till-date are not dynamically tunable, especially in silicon-based structures. Dynamic tunability is required not only for reconfiguration of the optical characteristics based on user-demand, but also for compensation against external disturbances and relaxation of tight device fabrication tolerances. Recent developments in photonic crystals have sugg...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional photonic band-Gap defect mode laser
A laser cavity formed from a single defect in a two-dimensional photonic crystal is demonstrated. The optical microcavity consists of a half wavelength-thick waveguide for vertical confinement and a two-dimensional photonic crystal mirror for lateral localization. A defect in the photonic crystal is introduced to trap photons inside a volume of 2.5 cubic half-wavelengths, approximately 0.03 cub...
متن کاملTuning of spontaneous emission of two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavities by accurate control of slab thickness
We have found a blueshift in the cavity modes confined in two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavities when the thickness of the slab was varied uniformly by accurate dry etching. The shifts in the wavelength of the cavity modes were around 2 nm towards shorter wavelengths per nanometer reduced in the thickness of the slab. Three-dimensional plane wave expansion calculations showed that the o...
متن کاملPhase Properties of One-Dimensional Quaternary Photonic Crystals
In this paper, properties of reflection phase in one-dimensional quaternary photonic crystals combining dispersive meta-materials and positive index materials are investigated by transfer matrix method. Two omnidirectional band gaps are located in the band structure of considered structure. However, we limit our studies to the frequency range of the second wide band gap. We observe that the val...
