Coupled-mode-induced transparency and attenuation resulting from cross-polarization coupling
摘要： Induced transparency and attenuation effects are observed in the throughput of a single whispering-gallery microresonator due to mode coupling between two coresonant orthogonally polarized whispering-gallery modes of very different quality factors. Intracavity cross-polarization coupling, occurring when either the transverse electric (TE) mode or the transverse magnetic (TM) mode is driven, results in coupled-mode induced transparency or coupled-mode induced attenuation. Coresonance between the TE and TM modes is obtained by strain tuning, and the cross-polarization coupling is produced by polarization rotation due to optical spin-orbit interaction in a slightly asymmetric resonator. The observed behavior enables slow light and fast light, i.e., the delay or advancement of an incident resonant pulse. Experimental results representative of several different types of behavior are presented here. Induced transparency is seen to be accompanied by pulse delay, whereas induced attenuation can involve pulse advancement or delay. The results are analyzed and explained by analytical modeling and by comparison to the output of a more detailed numerical model describing these effects. Delays of up to 170 ns and advancements of up to 14 ns are found. The observed range of cross-polarization coupling strengths (probability of polarization change per round trip), namely, 10?10–10?7, is in agreement with theory.

Slow and fast single photons from a quantum dot interacting with the excited state hyperfine structure of the Cesium D1-line
摘要： Hybrid interfaces between distinct quantum systems play a major role in the implementation of quantum networks. Quantum states have to be stored in memories to synchronize the photon arrival times for entanglement swapping by projective measurements in quantum repeaters or for entanglement purification. Here, we analyze the distortion of a single-photon wave packet propagating through a dispersive and absorptive medium with high spectral resolution. Single photons are generated from a single in(Ga)As quantum dot with its excitonic transition precisely set relative to the cesium D1 transition. the delay of spectral components of the single-photon wave packet with almost Fourier-limited width is investigated in detail with a 200 MHz narrow-band monolithic Fabry-Pérot resonator. Reflecting the excited state hyperfine structure of Cesium, “slow light” and “fast light” behavior is observed. As a step towards room-temperature alkali vapor memories, quantum dot photons are delayed for 5 ns by strong dispersion between the two 1.17 GHz hyperfine-split excited state transitions. Based on optical pumping on the hyperfine-split ground states, we propose a simple, all-optically controllable delay for synchronization of heralded narrow-band photons in a quantum network.

MODE SPLITTING BASED ON THE COUPLING BETWEEN MODES OF TWO NANODISKS CAVITIES AND A PLASMONIC WAVEGUIDE
摘要： A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguide coupled with two nanodisks as a resonator has been examined and numerically simulated with the ?nite-di?erence time-domain (FDTD) and analytically by the Temporal Coupling Mode Theory (CMT). Based on the three-level system, the strong destructive interference between the two resonators leads to the distinct mode splitting response. The characteristics of mode splitting show that there is anomalous dispersion with the novel fast-light feature at the resonance. Meanwhile, the slow light characteristic can also be achieved in the system at wavelengths of the split modes. The relationship between the transmission characteristics and the geometric parameters is examined. The results show that the modulation depth of the mode splitting transmission spectrum of 80% with 0.175 ps fast-light e?ect of resonance can be achieved, while for the two modes these values are around 30% with ?0.18 ps slow light-e?ect. There is a good agreement between the FDTD simulated transmission features and CMT. The characteristics of the system indicate critical potential applications in integrated optical circuits such as slow-light and fast-light devices, optical monitoring, an optical ?lter, and optical storage.

Plasmon induced transparency like transmission properties in compact MIM waveguide side-coupled with U-cavity
摘要： Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can overcome the limitation of diffraction and control light at nanoscale, thus becoming a hotspot in recent years. SPPs based metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguides using U-cavity and slot cavity are designed. The transmission characteristics are numerically simulated and verified by the coupled mode theory (CMT). Meanwhile, the effects of changing the geometric parameters on the transmission characteristics are also studied. Single and double plasmon induced transparency (PIT) effects are realized through the coupling and the destructive interfering between the transmission paths. Furthermore, characteristics of the refractive index sensing as well as the slow light and fast light effects are also investigated. We hope the designed waveguide structures along with their transmission characteristics have potential application prospects in the area of nanoscale integrated optical devices, such as filters, sensors, switches, slow/fast light devices, and other optoelectronic circuits.

Envelope, group and phase velocities in a nested frequency comb
摘要： Fabry–Pérot etalons have been traditionally used in a laser cavity to tune the optical frequency. In this work we present the generation of interwoven frequency combs with insertion of an intracavity Fabry–Pérot in a mode-locked laser. A high frequency comb is generated by insertion of an uncoated (low ?nesse) Fabry–Pérot inside the laser cavity. The intracavity Fabry–Pérot acquires a high ?nesse from the laser cavity and the velocity of the pulses in the Fabry–Pérot is affected by the laser cavity length, gain and losses, with the dielectric group velocity dk/dΩ playing only a minor role. The output characteristics are explained by the condition that the radiation is simultaneously resonant with the etalon and the laser cavity.

Superluminal effect in a hybrid nano-electro-optomechanical system
摘要： We theoretically investigate the phenomenon of superluminosity of the transmission probe field under the effect of a strong driving field in a hybrid nano-electro-optomechnical system comprising two coupled charged mechanical end resonators connected by bias voltages. The first mechanical charged mirror is connected to the optical field, while the second charged mirror is coupled by Coulomb coupling. We find that the superluminal behavior of the transmitted probe field can be switched by adjusting the cavity field detuning and atom field detuning. The present study extends the previously developed simple optomechanical and nano-electro-optomechanical system. Moreover, the group delay of the pulse advancement can be controlled by adjusting the electrostatic Coulomb coupling and the power of the driving field. We explain the effect of atomic field detuning on the superluminal behavior in the regimes of anti-Stokes sidebands, i.e., ?a=?ω1.
