We present a comparative micro-photoluminescence study of the emission intensity of self-assembled germanium islands coupled to the resonator mode of two-dimensional silicon photonic crystal defect nanocavities. The emission intensity is investigated for cavity modes of L3 and Hexapole cavities with different cavity quality factors. For each of these cavities many nominally identical samples are probed to obtain reliable statistics. As the quality factor increases we observe a clear decrease in the average mode emission intensity recorded under comparable optical pumping conditions. This clear experimentally observed trend is compared with simulations based on a dissipative master equation approach that describes a cavity weakly coupled to an ensemble of emitters. We obtain evidence that reabsorption of photons emitted into the cavity mode is responsible for the observed trend. In combination with the observation of cavity linewidth broadening in power dependent measurements, we conclude that free carrier absorption is the limiting effect for the cavity mediated light enhancement under conditions of strong pumping.

We present a temperature dependent photoluminescence study of silicon optical nanocavities formed by introducing point defects into two-dimensional photonic crystals. In addition to the prominent TO phonon assisted transition from crystalline silicon at ~1.10 eV we observe a broad defect band luminescence from ~1.05-1.09 eV. Spatially resolved spectroscopy demonstrates that this defect band is present only in the region where air-holes have been etched during the fabrication process. Detectable emission from the cavity mode persists up to room-temperature, in strong contrast the background emission vanishes for T > 150 K. An Ahrrenius type analysis of the temperature dependence of the luminescence signal recorded either in-resonance with the cavity mode, or weakly detuned, suggests that the higher temperature stability may arise from an enhanced internal quantum efficiency due to the Purcell-effect.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a photonic crystal nanocavity with multiple resonances that can be tuned nearly independently. The design is composed of two orthogonal intersecting nanobeam cavities. Experimentally, we measure cavity qualit y factors of 6,600 and 1000 for resonances separated by 382 nm; we measure a maximum separation between resonances of 506 nm. These structures are promising for enhancing efficiency in nonlinear optical processes such as sum/difference frequency and stimulated Raman scattering.
Photonic crystal membranes (PCM) provide a versatile planar platform for on-chip implementations of photonic quantum circuits. One prominent quantum element is a coupled system consisting of a nanocavity and a single quantum dot (QD) which forms a fu ndamental building block for elaborate quantum information networks and a cavity quantum electrodynamic (cQED) system controlled by single photons. So far no fast tuning mechanism is available to achieve control within the system coherence time. Here we demonstrate dynamic tuning by monochromatic coherent acoustic phonons formed by a surface acoustic wave (SAW) with frequencies exceeding 1.7 gigahertz, one order of magnitude faster than alternative approaches. We resolve a periodic modulation of the optical mode exceeding eight times its linewidth, preserving both the spatial mode profile and a high quality factor. Since PCMs confine photonic and phononic excitations, coupling optical to acoustic frequencies, our technique opens ways towards coherent acoustic control of optomechanical crystals.

The analysis of an angular distribution of the emission intensity of a two-level atom (dipole) in a photonic crystal reveals an enhancement of the emission rate in some observation directions. Such an enhancement is the result of the bunching of many Bloch eigenwaves with different wave vectors in the same direction due to the crystal anisotropy. If a spatial distribution of the emission intensity is considered, the interference of these eigenwaves should be taken into account. In this paper, the far-field emission pattern of a two-level atom is discussed in the framework of the asymptotic analysis the classical macroscopic Green function. Numerical example is given for a two-dimensional square lattice of air holes in polymer. The relevance of results for experimental observation is discussed.

A Deep Learning (DL) based forward modeling approach has been proposed to accurately characterize the relationship between design parameters and the optical properties of Photonic Crystal (PC) nanocavities. The proposed data-driven method using Deep Neural Networks (DNN) is set to replace conventional approaches manually performed in simulation software. The demonstrated DNN model makes predictions not only for the Q factor but also for the modal volume V for the first time, granting us precise control over both properties in the design process. Specifically, a three-channel convolutional neural network (CNN), which consists of two convolutional layers followed by two fully-connected layers, is trained on a large-scale dataset of 12,500 nanocavities. The experimental results show that the DNN has achieved a state-of-the-art performance in terms of prediction accuracy (up to 99.9999% for Q and 99.9890% for V ) and convergence speed (i.e., orders-of-magnitude speedup). The proposed approach overcomes shortcomings of existing methods and paves the way for DL-based on-demand and data-driven optimization of PC nanocavities applicable to the rapid prototyping of nanoscale lasers and integrated photonic devices of high Q and small V.
