Strong Coupling Between Photonic Cavities, Xiang Wei
Strong Coupling Between Photonic Cavities, Xiang Wei
Dissertations and Theses
As the performance of computers has improved dramatically since the 1990s, many interesting photonic crystal properties have been theoretically and experimentally discovered. For example, the strong coupling between photonic crystal cavities was revealed in the 2000s; many groups have successfully fabricated these cavities and verified strong coupling experimentally using silicon. In this thesis, instead of using silicon, we present new results on photonic crystals made by thin indium tin oxide (ITO) layers. Compared to silicon, ITO is not an ideal material to make a photonic crystal because of its comparatively low refractive index and limited transparency. However, it is an …
