The temporal-coupled-mode theory is directly applied to the design of devices that feature a resonator with a high quality factor. For the temporal-coupled-mode theory we calculate the decay rate of the resonator to determine the transmission properties of the device. The analysis using the decay rates requires little computational effort, and therefore the optimum device properties can be determined quickly. Two examples, a wavelength filter and a resonator crossing, are presented to illustrate the use of the analysis.

Fabry-Perot Resonances in Bilayer Metasurfaces.

Phys Rev Lett

November 2024

Institute of High-Performance Computing, Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A-STAR), Fusionopolis, 1 Fusionopolis Way, #16-16 Connexis, Singapore 138632, Singapore.

In this study, we construct Fabry-Perot cavities in which nanostructured, thin resonant metasurfaces act as mirrors. We develop a temporal coupled-mode theory and provide an accurate description of the resonances supported by these cavities, deriving analytically their transmission characteristics. The presence of metasurface mirrors introduces a substantial group delay, causing the field concentration to shift from the bulk of the cavity towards the regions close to the two metasurfaces.

Chemically synthesized gold nanoantennas possess easy processability, low cost, and suitability for large-area fabrication, making them advantageous for surface-enhanced infrared (SEIRA) biosensing. Nevertheless, current gold nanoantennas face challenges with limited enhancement of biomolecular signals that hinder their practical applications. Here, we demonstrate that the coupling rate between antennas and molecules critically impacts the enhancement of molecular signals based on temporal coupled mode theory.

Quantum mechanics is applied to create numerous electronic devices, including lasers, electron microscopes, magnetic resonance imaging, and quantum information technology. However, the practical realization of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) in various applications is limited due to the demanding conditions required for achieving strong coupling between an optical cavity and excitonic matter. Here, we present biological cavity QED with self-aligned nanoring doublets: QED-SANDs, which exhibit robust room-temperature strong coupling with a biomolecular emitter, chlorophyll-.

Emerging applications of photonic integrated circuits are calling for extremely narrowband and/or low-insertion-loss bandpass filters. Both properties are limited by cavity losses or intrinsic quality factors. However, the choice of inter-cavity and bus couplings establishes trade-offs between these two properties and the passband shape, which have been little explored.
