Heavy photon states in photonic chains of resonantly coupled cavities with supermonodispersive microspheres.

摘要: We propose and demonstrate a "bottom-up" approach to constructing photonic structures for photon manipulation. Supermonodispersive polymer microspheres are used as building blocks size uniformity better than 0.05% could be obtained by sorting the spheres using spectroscopic methods. The positioned in V groove on silicon substrate form chain with resonant coupling of optical whispering-gallery modes. Photonic band modes clearly observed fluorescence scattering spectra, an excellent agreement tight-binding model calculation is found. Heavy states group index high 40 obtained.
