Design of photonic crystal microcavities for cavity QED
We discuss the optimization of optical microcavity designs based on 2D
photonic crystals for the purpose of strong coupling between the cavity field
and a single neutral atom trapped within a hole. We present numerical
predictions for the quality factors and mode volumes of localized defect modes
as a function of geometric parameters, and discuss some experimental challenges
related to the coupling of a defect cavity to gas-phase atoms.Comment: 12 pages, 16 figure
