Inverse designed photonic crystal waveguides for pulsed operation: dispersion, losses, and controlled light-matter interactions

Dominic Thompson, Stephen Hughes, Nir Rotenberg

Photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) are a powerful platform for optical technologies because they can spatially confine light on sub-wavelength scales and manipulate the group veloc…

Statistics of Anderson-localized modes in disordered photonic crystal slab waveguides

J. P. Vasco, S. Hughes

We present a fully three-dimensional Bloch mode expansion technique and photon Green function formalism to compute the quality factor, mode volume, and Purcell enhancement distribu…

Mollow "quintuplets" from coherently-excited quantum dots

Rong-Chun Ge, S. Weiler, A. Ulhaq +4

Charge-neutral excitons in semiconductor quantum dots have a small finite energy separation caused by the anisotropic exchange splitting. Coherent excitation of neutral excitons wi…

Phonon-mediated population inversion in a semiconductor quantum-dot cavity system

S. Hughes, H. J. Carmichael

We investigate pump-induced exciton inversion in a quantum-dot cavity system with continuous wave drive. Using a polaron-based master equation, we demonstrate excited-state populat…

Spontaneous Emission Spectra and Quantum Light-Matter Interactions from a Strongly-Coupled Quantum Dot Metal-Nanoparticle System

C. Van Vlack, Philip Trøst Kristensen, S. Hughes

We investigate the quantum optical properties of a single photon emitter coupled to a finite-size metal nanoparticle using a photon Green function technique that rigorously quantiz…

Stationary inversion of a two level system coupled to an off-resonant cavity with strong dissipation

S. Hughes, H. J. Carmichael

We present an off-resonant excitation scheme that realizes pronounced stationary inversion in a two level system. The created inversion exploits a cavity-assisted two photon resona…
