We derive relationships between various types of small misalignments on a triangular Fabry-Perot cavity and associated geometrical eigenmode changes. We focus on the changes of beam spot positions on cavity mirrors, the beam waist position, and its angle. A comparison of analytical and numerical results shows excellent agreement. The results are applicable to any triangular cavity close to an isosceles triangle, with the lengths of two sides much bigger than the other, consisting of a curved mirror and two flat mirrors yielding a waist equally separated from the two flat mirrors. This cavity shape is most commonly used in laser interferometry. The analysis presented here can easily be extended to more generic cavity shapes. The geometrical analysis not only serves as a method of checking a simulation result, but also gives an intuitive and handy tool to visualize the eigenmode of a misaligned triangular cavity.

A triangular optical cavity is often used as a mode cleaning cavity in precision laser interferometry such as gravitational wave detectors. An alignment sensing and control system for maintaining the alignment of a mode cleaning cavity with respect t o the incoming laser beam is critical for detectors performance. Therefore, understanding the behavior of the angular response is vital to both design and commissioning test of the alignment control system. We present a linear approximation approach which not only simplifies the computation but also provides a comprehensive picture of the angular response. The observable degrees of freedom in a triangular cavity is discussed based on the linear approximation.
Concentrating optical field in an eigenmode with a tiny volume is vitally important for light-matter interactions at the fundamental level and underpins new technologies. In the past decades, researchers have investigated various approaches to shrink light and so far managed to reduce the volume of optical eigenmodes, under the quantum-optical definition, down to several ten nm3. Here we report on the discovery, characterization and engineering of a class of extremely localized eigenmodes that are resonances of atomistic protrusions on a metallic host nanoparticle and feature quantum-optical mode volumes of below 1 nm3. We theoretically demonstrate that these extremely localized modes can be made bright with radiation efficiencies reaching 30% and provide up to 4x10^7 times intensity enhancement. The existence of bright eigenmodes with the volume comparable to a photon emitter foresees exciting new optical physics, such as ultrastrong coupling with single optical emitters, angstrom-resolution optical imaging, and atomic-scale single-molecule photochemistry.
Optical cavities are a cornerstone of photonics. They are indispensable in lasers, optical filters, optical combs and clocks, in quantum physics, and have enabled the detection of gravitational waves. Cavities transmit light only at discrete resonant frequencies, which are well-separated in micro-structures. Despite attempts at the construction of `white-light cavities, the benefits accrued upon optically interacting with a cavity -- such as resonant field buildup -- have remained confined to narrow linewidths. Here, we demonstrate achromatic optical transmission through a planar Fabry-Perot micro-cavity via angularly multiplexed phase-matching that exploits a bio-inspired grating configuration. By correlating each wavelength with an appropriate angle of incidence, a continuous spectrum resonates and the micro-cavity is rendered transparent. The locus of a single-order 0.7-nm-wide resonance is de-slanted in spectral-angular space to become a 60-nm-wide achromatic resonance spanning multiple cavity free-spectral-ranges. This approach severs the link between the resonance bandwidth and the cavity-photon lifetime, thereby promising resonant enhancement of linear and nonlinear optical effects over broad bandwidths in ultrathin devices.
Electromagnetically induced transparency has great theoretical and experimental importance in many physics subjects, such as atomic physics, quantum optics, and more recent cavity optomechanics. Optical delay is the most prominent feature of electrom agnetically induced transparency, and in cavity optomechanics optical delay is limited by mechanical dissipation rate of sideband-resolved mechanical modes. Here we demonstrate a cascaded optical transparency scheme by leveraging the parametric phonon-phonon coupling in a multimode optomechanical system, where a low damping mechanical mode in the unresolved-sideband regime is made to couple to an intermediate, high frequency mechanical mode in the resolved-sideband regime of an optical cavity. Extended optical delay and higher transmission, as well as optical advancing are demonstrated. These results provide a route to realize ultra-long optical delay, indicating a significant step toward integrated classical and quantum information storage devices.
Photonic platforms are an excellent setting for quantum technologies because weak photon-environment coupling ensures long coherence times. The second key ingredient for quantum photonics is interactions between photons, which can be provided by opti cal nonlinearities in the form of cross-phase-modulation (XPM). This approach underpins many proposed applications in quantum optics and information processing, but achieving its potential requires strong single-photon-level nonlinear phase shifts and also scalable nonlinear elements. In this work we show that the required nonlinearity can be provided by exciton-polaritons in micropillars with embedded quantum wells. These combine the strong interactions of excitons with the scalability of micrometer-sized emitters. We observe XPM up to $3 pm 1$ mrad per particle using laser beams attenuated to below single photon average intensity. With our work serving as a first stepping stone, we lay down a route for quantum information processing in polaritonic lattices.
