  • coherent control of Spontaneous Emission near a photonic band edge a single atom optical memory device
    Physical Review Letters, 1997
    Co-Authors: Tran Quang, Sajeev John, Mesfin Woldeyohannes, G S Agarwal
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate coherent control of Spontaneous Emission from a three-level atom with one resonant frequency near the edge of a photonic band gap. As a result of quantum interference and photon localization, Spontaneous Emission can be totally suppressed or strongly enhanced depending on the relative phase between the control and pump laser fields. The fractionalized steady state inversion of the atom depends sensitively on the initial conditions, suggesting the possibility of a phase-sensitive, optical memory device on the atomic scale.

  • Spontaneous Emission near the edge of a photonic band gap
    Physical Review A, 1994
    Co-Authors: Sajeev John, Tran Quang
    Abstract:

    We study Spontaneous Emission near the edge of a photonic band gap. Instead of a simple exponential decay in the vacuum, Spontaneous Emission displays an oscillatory behavior. A single photon-atom bound dressed state exhibits a fractional steady-state atomic population on the excited state. For a three-level atom we evaluate the spectral splitting and subnatural linewidth of Spontaneous Emission. In the presence of N-1 unexcited atoms we show that the collective time scale factor is equal to ${\mathit{N}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\varphi}}}$, where \ensuremath{\varphi}=2/3 for an isotropic band gap and \ensuremath{\varphi}=1 or 2 for anisotropic two-dimensional or three-dimensional band edges, respectively.

  • Spontaneous Emission coupling factor and mode characteristics of planar dielectric microcavity lasers
    Physical Review A, 1993
    Co-Authors: Gunnar Bjork, H Heitmann, Yoshihisa Yamamoto
    Abstract:

    The Spontaneous-Emission coupling factor β for planar microcavities without lateral confinement is measured and calculated for gain media with finite Spontaneous-Emission linewidth. It is shown that in order to maximize β, the Spontaneous-Emission linewidth of the gain medium must be smaller or equal to the cold-cavity linewidth. It is also shown that the planar-cavity geometry will give rise to spatial modes, and in order to maximize β one should pump only an area corresponding to one spatial mode. If the pumped area is larger than the lateral extent of a cavity mode, then the mode will grow laterally when pumped above threshold

    Abstract:

    The Spontaneous-Emission coupling factor \ensuremath{\beta} for planar microcavities without lateral confinement is measured and calculated for gain media with finite Spontaneous-Emission linewidth. It is shown that in order to maximize \ensuremath{\beta}, the Spontaneous-Emission linewidth of the gain medium must be smaller or equal to the cold-cavity linewidth. It is also shown that the planar-cavity geometry will give rise to spatial modes, and in order to maximize \ensuremath{\beta} one should pump only an area corresponding to one spatial mode.

  • strong photonic band gap effect on the Spontaneous Emission in 3d lead halide perovskite photonic crystals
    ChemPhysChem, 2018
    Co-Authors: Xue Zhou, Mingzhu Li, Kang Wang, H Li, Yanan Li, Chang Li, Yong Sheng Zhao, Yanlin Song
    Abstract:

    Stimulated Emission in perovskite-embedded polymer opal structures is investigated. A polymer opal structure is filled with a perovskite, and perovskite photonic crystals are prepared. The Spontaneous Emission of the perovskite embedded in the polymer opal structures exhibits clear signatures of amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) via gain modulation. The difference in refractive-index contrast between the perovskite and the polymer opal is large enough for retaining photonic-crystals properties. The photonic band gap has a strong effect on the fluorescence Emission intensity and lifetime. The stimulated Emission spectrum exhibits a narrow ASE rather than a wide fluorescence peak in the thin film.
