Enhancement of a nano cavity lifetime by induced slow light and nonlinear dispersions

Opt Express. 2012 Nov 19;20(24):27403-10. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.027403.

Abstract

We start from a 2D photonic crystal nanocavity with moderate Q-factor and dynamically increase it by two order of magnitude by the joint action of coherent population oscillations and nonlinear refractive index.
