Lineshape Engineering of Whispering Gallery Modes Using a Photonic Molecule
摘要
Photonic molecules (coupled cavities) are of immense interest due to their applications in sensing, single-mode lasing, and cavity quantum electrodynamics. In this work, a photonic molecule, made of two coupled microspheres, has been used to vary the lineshape of the cavity modes. This has been executed by varying the inter-cavity distance (or coupling strength). Fano-/electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-type modes have been observed to evolve with the coupling strength varied.
