Photonic and electronic state interactions in BaTiO3 based Optical Microcavity

Abstract

The photonic modes mediated absorption dynamics at femtosecond time scales along with the control of spontaneous emission tunability are investigated all-dielectric optical microcavity having BaTiO3 (BTO) as defect layer. The cavity-enhanced transient absorption reveals the dominant excited state absorption (ESA) of both photonic and electronic modes due to strong third-order optical nonlinearity influence. Photoluminescence of BTO is found to be guided and tuned by the photonic cavity mode. Such active photonic structures can be envisaged as a potential candidate in nonlinear optics and photonic device applications.
