Non-exponential spontaneous emission dynamics for emitters in a time-dependent optical cavity

H Thyrrestrup, A Hartsuiker, JM Gérard, WL Vos - Optics express, 2013 - opg.optica.org
We have theoretically studied the effect of deterministic temporal control of spontaneous
emission in a dynamic optical microcavity. We propose a new paradigm in light emission: we …

Observation of a stronger-than-adiabatic change of light trapped in an ultrafast switched GaAs-AlAs microcavity

PJ Harding, HJ Bakker, A Hartsuiker… - Journal of the Optical …, 2012 - opg.optica.org
We study the time-resolved reflectivity spectrum of a switched planar GaAs-AlAs microcavity.
Between 5 and 40 ps after the switching (pump) pulse, we observe a strong excess probe …
