Simulating frequency splittings and loss in Fabry-Pérot cavities
Jonah Post, Joep K. van den Brink, Martin P. van Exter
Finite-element simulations of optical cavities are presented, showing frequency splittings in the resonance spectrum. These can be directly compared to and understood by recent the…
Optical microcavity characterization via resonance spectra and modes
Jonah Post, Chunjiang He, Corné Koks +6
This paper describes how resonance spectra and mode profiles can be used to characterize and quantify the mode-shaping effects in open-access plano-concave optical microcavities. T…
Confocal polarization tomography of dielectric nanocavities
Frederik Schröder, Martin P. van Exter, Meng Xiong +4
We employ polarization tomography to characterize the modal properties of a dielectric nanocavity with sub-wavelength mode confinement. Our analysis of reflection spectra shows tha…
Probing microcavity resonance spectra with intracavity emitters
Corné Koks, Martin P. van Exter
We measure the fluorescence spectrum of broadband emitters in an open optical microcavity with radius of curvature R = 17.7(3) um and finesse F ~= 1000. This geometry enables a com…
Fabry-Perot microcavity spectra have a fine structure
M. P. van Exter, M. Wubs, E. Hissink +1
Optical cavities can support many transverse and longitudinal modes. A paraxial scalar theory predicts that the resonance frequencies of these modes cluster in different orders. A…
Observation of microcavity fine structure
C. Koks, F. B. Baalbergen, M. P. van Exter
We observe fine structure in the resonance spectra of optical microcavities. We identify the polarization-resolved modes in the spectrum and find that resonance frequencies split i…
Observation of mode-mixing in the eigenmodes of an optical microcavity
C. Koks, M. P. van Exter
We present a method to determine the complex coupling parameter of a two-coupled-modes system by directly measuring the coupled eigenmodes rather than their eigenvalues. This metho…
Polarization degenerate micropillars fabricated by designing elliptical oxide apertures
Morten P. Bakker, Ajit V. Barve, Alan Zhan +3
A method for fabrication of polarization degenerate oxide apertured micropillar cavities is demon- strated. Micropillars are etched such that the size and shape of the oxide front…
The Role of Spatial Coherence and Orbital Angular Momentum of Light in Astronomy
D. Hetharia, M. P. van Exter, W. Löffler
The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is potentially interesting for astronomical study of rotating objects such as black holes, but the effect of reduced spatial coherence o…
Fine tuning of micropillar cavity modes through repetitive oxidations
Morten P. Bakker, Donal J. suntrup, Henk Snijders +4
Repetitive wet thermal oxidations of a tapered oxide aperture in a micropillar structure are demonstrated. After each oxidation step the confined optical modes are analyzed at room…
Monitoring the formation of oxide apertures in micropillar cavities
Morten P. Bakker, Henk Snijders, Donald J. Suntrup +4
An imaging technique is presented that enables monitoring of the wet thermal oxidation of a thin AlAs layer embedded between two distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirrors in a micr…
H1 photonic crystal cavitites for hybrid quantum information protocols
Jenna Hagemeier, Cristian Bonato, Tuan-Anh Truong +7
Hybrid quantum information protocols are based on local qubits, such as trapped atoms, NV centers, and quantum dots, coupled to photons. The coupling is achieved through optical ca…
Tuning micropillar cavity birefringence by laser induced surface defects
Cristian Bonato, Dapeng Ding, Jan Gudat +5
We demonstrate a technique to tune the optical properties of micropillar cavities by creating small defects on the sample surface near the cavity region with an intense focused las…
Polarization analysis of propagating surface plasmons in a subwavelength hole array
E. Altewischer, M. P. van Exter, J. P. Woerdman
We present angle- and polarization-resolved measurements of the optical transmission of a subwavelength hole array. These results give a (far-field) visualization of the correspond…
