Abstract

We have developed a new photonic-crystal-based platform having a two-dimensional photonic band gap (PBG) for the control of spontaneous emission from single molecules and observed fluorescence-lifetime elongation of the single molecules by the PBG effect.

Quantum and Nonlinear Optics in a Photonic Band Gap

Sajeev John

Photonic band gap (PBG) materials are a new class of dielectric materials which exhibit a complete three-dimensional gap to electromagnetic wave propagation. These materials facilitate two novel and fundamental optical principles, namely (i) the coherent localization of light and (ii) the control and inhibition of spontaneous emission of light from atoms and molecules.

Spontaneous emission from a microwave-driven four-level atom in an anisotropic photonic crystal

Jiang Li, Ren-Gang Wan, Zhihai Yao

The spontaneous emission from a microwave-driven four-level atom embedded in an anisotropic photonic crystal is studied. Due to the modified density of state (DOS) in the anisotropic photonic band gap (PBG) and the coherent control induced by the coupling fields, spontaneous emission can be significantly enhanced when the position of the spontaneous emission peak gets close to the band gap edge. As a result of the closed-loop interaction between the fields and the atom, the spontaneous emission depends on the dynamically induced Autler–Townes splitting and its position relative to the PBG. Interesting phenomena, such as spectral-line suppression, enhancement and narrowing, and fluorescence quenching, appear in the spontaneous emission spectra, which are modulated by amplitudes and phases of the coherently driven fields and the effect of PBG. This theoretical study can provide us with more efficient methods to manipulate the atomic spontaneous emission.

Purcell effect in a disordered photonic crystals

Konstantin M. Morozov, Azat R. Gubaydullin, Konstantin A. Ivanov +2 more

We consider the one-dimensional problem of imperfections' influence on the Purcell effect in photonic crystal system. We demonstrate that the presence of disorder in a one-dimensional photonic crystal can lead to a modification of the spontaneous emission rate in the photonic band gap (PBG) frequency region. We show that the amount of disorder regulates two different scenarios of the Purcell effect modification. In the case of weak disorder, the Purcell enhancement of the spontaneous emission occurs at PBG edges, and, in the case of strong disorder, it occurs at PBG centre.
