Coherent excitation of a nonlinear microcavity

摘要

Coherent excitation of a nonlinear semiconductor microcavity is theoretically reported. It intends to counterbalance the frequency drift ofthe cavity resonance driven by the nonlinear refractive effects, which causes a limitation in the energy coupling efficiency of an input pulseinto the cavity resonance. We show that exciting such a nonlinear microcavity with tailored chirped pulses allows to maintain the benefit oflight localization and to further enhance light-matter interactions, opening the way to the realization of highly efficient nonlinear devices.
