Photonic crystals/Plasmonic gratings Photonic crystal cavity • Confinement by:
– distributed Bragg reflection (in plane) – Total internal reflection (out of plane)
• localize light into extremely small volumes V<(λ/n)3
• high quality factors Q (long photon storage times)
Plasmonic structure • Confinement by
– Collective charge oscillation at metal-dielectric interface
• Confinement into V<<(λ/n)3, breaks diffraction limit
• moderate quality factors Q (ohmic losses)

Linewidth narrowing in Er-doped silicon photonic crystal cavities
• Cavity Q increases with pump power at low temperature (from to 9,000 to 13,300)!
• Estimate: ~30% of Er atoms inverted • Note: effect not visible in larger microring cavities • Saturation of cavity emission observed for high pump powers
• Can reduce material losses by removing Si from cavity design

• Brute force search to get desired field H (change structure, i.e. ε, a little, simulate structure, get field – repeat many times). Takes days, sometimes months!
• Use complementary optimization, guess optimal cavity field and cavity structure
• Using this complementary optimization method in 2D we can quickly (< 10 mins) design resonators with arbitrary field profile
