Mode mixing and losses in misaligned microcavities
William J. Hughes, Thomas H. Doherty, Jacob A. Blackmore +2
We present a study on the optical losses of Fabry-Pérot cavities subject to realistic transverse mirror misalignment. We consider mirrors of the two most prevalent surface forms: i…
Evolutionary algorithm to design high-cooperativity optical cavities
D. V. Karpov, P. Horak
Using an evolutionary algorithm combined with a gradient descent method we design optical cavities with significantly enhanced strong coupling rates between cavity photons and a si…
Cavities with Non-Spherical Mirrors for Enhanced Quantum Emitter-Cavity Photon Interaction
Denis V. Karpov, Peter Horak
We propose a procedure for the significant enhancement of the strong coupling rate between photons in an optical cavity and a single quantum emitter, such as an atom, quantum dot o…
Cavity cooling of atoms: Within and without a cavity
André Xuereb, Peter Domokos, Peter Horak +1
We compare the efficiencies of two optical cooling schemes, where a single particle is either inside or outside an optical cavity, under experimentally-realisable conditions. We ev…
Amplified optomechanics in a unidirectional ring cavity
André Xuereb, Peter Horak, Tim Freegarde
We investigate optomechanical forces on a nearly lossless scatterer, such as an atom pumped far off-resonance or amicromirror, inside an optical ring cavity. Our model introduces t…
Optomechanical cooling with generalized interferometers
André Xuereb, Tim Freegarde, Peter Horak +1
The fields in multiple-pass interferometers, such as the Fabry--Pérot cavity, exhibit great sensitivity not only to the presence but also to the motion of any scattering object wit…
