  3. Introduction Optical resonators Light confinement inside a volume V with an efficiency Q For single photon sources, ultra low treshold lasers, enhanced light matter-interactions. Figure of merits : Q/V benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr

  4. Introduction Near-Field control of optical resonators • to probe the electromagnetic field confinement • - to manipulate mechanically the confinement ? benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr

  5. Introduction at the nanometer scale… benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr

  6. Outline 1/ Resonators of nanophotonics 2/ Optical near-field microscopy 3/ Near-Field Probing of light confinement 4/ Near-Field Manipulation of light confinement benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr

  7. 1/ Resonators of Nanophotonics Spherical/Toroïdal resonators Photonic crystal resonators 50µm 1µm Akahane et al, Nature 425 (2003) Kippenberg et al, Nature 421 (2003) Refraction Diffraction Light confinement with ultra- high Q Q~106-108 V~50µm3 Light confinement in ultra- small V Q~104-106 V~0.1µm3 benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr

  11. 3/ Toward a Near-field control of confined light What about the effect of the near-field probes ??? benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr

  12. ???? But What happens if 3/ Toward a Near-field control of confined light General assumptions: 1- Since the probe volume remains largely lower than the cavity volume 2- The losses introduced by the presence of the probe are lower than the cavity losses The probe is not a perturbative element of the system benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr

  13. 3/ Toward a Near-field control of the confined light Let consider a state of the art nanocavity with: An ultra low-volume : V=(l/n)3 A high Q-factor: Q~104-105 1µm benoit.cluzel@u-bourgogne.fr
