Investigating Molecular Spontaneous Emission Rate Enhancement Close to Elliptical Nanoparticles by Boundary Integral Method

Spontaneous Emission Rate Enhancement Using Optical Antennas

An integrated tunable C band laser fabricated in a commercial CMOS foundry is discussed. The laser is embedded in the silicon chip, and is hermetically sealed. Preliminary optical characterization results are presented. OCIS codes: (250.5960) Semiconductor Lasers; (250.5300) Photonic Integrated Circuits; (140.3600) Lasers, tunable

Large spontaneous emission rate enhancement in grating coupled hyperbolic metamaterials

Hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM), a sub-wavelength periodic artificial structure with hyperbolic dispersion, can enhance the spontaneous emission of quantum emitters. Here, we demonstrate the large spontaneous emission rate enhancement of an organic dye placed in a grating coupled hyperbolic metamaterial (GCHMM). A two-dimensional (2D) silver diffraction grating coupled with an Ag/Al2O3 HMM shows ...

Large spontaneous emission enhancement in plasmonic nanocavities

Cavity–emitter coupling can enable a host of potential applications in quantum optics, from low-threshold lasers to brighter single-photon sources for quantum cryptography1. Although some of the first demonstrations of spontaneous emission modification occurred in metallic structures2,3, it was only after the recent demonstration of cavity quantum electrodynamics effects in dielectric optical c...

Optical Klystron Enhancement to Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission at FERMI

The optical klystron enhancement to a self-amplified spontaneous emission free electron laser has been studied in theory and in simulations and has been experimentally demonstrated on a single-pass high-gain free electron laser, the FERMI FEL-1, in 2014. The main concept consists of two undulators separated by a dispersive section that converts the energy modulation induced in the first undulat...
