Single-Photon Omni-Resonance in a Planar Fabry-Pérot Cavity

By appropriately structuring the optical field of a 40-nm-bandwidth single-photon wave packet, we couple the photon into a 150-pm-linewidth planar Fabry-Pérot cavity with 22-nm free-spectral-range, thereby demonstrating for the first time single-photon omni-resonance.

Complex-valued traversal time for optical pulse transmission in a Fabry-Perot cavity

Jae Yong Lee, Hai-Woong Lee, Jae Won HAHN

The question of how much time a wave packet spends in a traversing region of space has been of both fundamental and practical interest associated with the old problem of quantum particle tunneling. The question was then renewed by the experiment of Steinberg et al. (1993), implying the superluminal tunneling of a photon and began extending to physical systems concerning optical and electromagnetic waves. In this study, the traversal time taken by an optical pulse to off-resonantly transmit in a Fabry-Perot cavity is theoretically investigated as one such extension.

Efficiently Loading a Single Photon into a Single-Sided Fabry-Perot Cavity

Chang Liu, Yuan Sun, Luwei Zhao +3 more

We demonstrate that a single photon with an optimal temporal waveform can be efficiently loaded into a cavity. Using heralded narrow-band single photons with exponential growth wave packet shaped by an electro-optical amplitude modulator, whose time constant matches the photon lifetime in the cavity, we demonstrate a loading efficiency of (87±2)% from free space to a single-sided Fabry-Perot cavity. We further demonstrate directly loading heralded single Stokes photons into the cavity with an efficiency of (60±5)% without the electro-optical amplitude modulator and verify the time reversal between the frequency-entangled paired photons. Our result and approach may enable promising applications in realizing large-scale quantum networks based on cavity quantum electrodynamics.
