Light-matter interactions in multi-element resonators

arXiv:1701.05373 · doi:10.1088/1361-6455/aa6a74

Abstract

We investigate structural resonances in multi-element optical resonators and provide a roadmap for the description of the interaction of single extended cavity modes with quantum emitters or mechanical resonators. Using a first principle approach based on the transfer matrix formalism we analyze, both numerically and analytically, the static and dynamical properties of three- and four-mirror cavities. We investigate in particular conditions under which the confinement of the field in specific subcavities allows for enhanced light-matter interactions in the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity optomechanics.
