Enhanced Photon-Emitter Coupling in Micro/Nano Photonic Structures
Qi Zhang, Qihuang Gong, Ying Gu
The strong confined electromagnetic field in the micro/nano photonic structures brings new opportunities for the research of interaction between light and matter. By designing optical modes, light can be controlled to realize reversible or inreversible energy exchange between photons and emitters at the micro/nano scale. Here, we review the basic principles of the interaction between light and matter in cavity quantum electrodynamics and their recent advances in strong coupling based on micro/nano photonic structures such as plasmon nanostructures, whispering gallery resonators and photonic crystals. These works opening the research of quantum nanophotonics will have great influence on the on-chip quantum devices and quantum informations.
