Controlled coupling of nanoscopic light emitters with high-Q modes of a toroidal microcavity: studies of cavity QED and nano-optical effects in a novel model system Institutional Cooperation Project
In this project, the
coupling of nanoscopic sized light emitters to optical microcavities
(microtorroidal cavities) is studied in very well-controllable systems.
Nanopositioning tools developed in scanning microscopy and single molecule
detection are utilized in order to manipulate coupled emitters and gain
spectroscopic information with very high precision. We intend to investigate
the interaction between light and matter on a nanoscopic size scale in order to
understand the behaviour of this kind of physical system in a level fundamentally
dominated by its quantum properties.
