Cryogenic System for Quantum Optical Measurement
Abstract
Comprehensive spatial, temporal, and quantum control of light fields is a centralgoal of optical science and engineering. Harnessing photons, through theirinteraction with matter, has enabled a wide variety of technologies, ranging fromimaging and spectroscopy in biological and chemical systems using laser sources, tosurgery and communication using fiber optics. As a part of an AFOSR?MURI andONR?YIP funded research programs, we aim to combine state?of?the?art photonicdevices with strong photon?photon interactions to access a completely newparameter regime where photonic devices display the complex dynamics usuallyassociated with their electronic counterparts, yet can be almost fully controlled atthe quantum level in a way that is currently not possible in solid?state electronicdevices. Currently, we investigate solid?state emitters coupled to photonic crystalcavities to induce such strong light?matter interaction in an environment with atemperature at about 4K..
