Noise Properties of Coherent Perfect Absorbers and Critically-coupled Resonators
Y. D. Chong, Hui Cao, A. Douglas Stone
The performance of a coherent perfect absorber (time-reversed laser) is limited by quantum and thermal noise. At zero temperature, the quantum shot noise dominates the signal for f…

Extreme Sensitivity of Output Directionality to Boundary Perturbation in Wavelength-Scale Microcavities
Li Ge, Qinghai Song, Brandon Redding +1
We report a surprising observation that the output directionality from wavelength-scale optical microcavities displays extreme sensitivity to deformations of the cavity shape. A va…

Local chirality of optical waves in ultrasmall resonators
Brandon Redding, Li Ge, Qinghai Song +3
The local chiral symmetry between clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) propagating light in a deformed microcavity can be broken by wave optics effects, which become signific…
