Theory of soliton self-frequency shift in silica optical microresonators with a modified Raman response by the Boson peak.

We theoretically study the Raman-induced self-frequency shift of dissipative Kerr soliton in silica optical resonators by taking into consideration the Boson peak. We find that the Boson peak will greatly increase the soliton self-frequency shift and contribute even more than the shift induced by the Lorentzian response for certain pulse durations. We also show that the revised Raman shock time is associated with the pulse width even for a relatively long pulse.

Turning whispering-gallery-mode responses through Fano interferences in coupled all-dielectric block-disk cavities.

Here, we theoretically demonstrate a strategy for efficiently turning whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) responses of a subwavelength dielectric disk through their near-field couplings with common low-order electromagnetic resonances of a dielectric block. Both simulations and an analytical coupled oscillator model show that the couplings are Fano interferences between dark high-quality WGMs and bright modes of the block. The responses of a WGM in the coupled system are highly dependent on the strengths and the relative phases of the block modes, the coupling strength, and the decay rate of the WGM.

Strong couplings between magnetic quantum emitters and subwavelength all-dielectric resonators with whispering gallery modes.

Here we theoretically investigate the coherent interactions between the quantum emitters with magnetic dipole transitions and subwavelength all-dielectric resonators of whispering gallery modes (WGMs). We extend a semi-analytical method which can efficiently calculate the far-field spectrum of a general hybrid system. Then, a subwavelength sphere with refractive index around n = 3.
