Photothermal tuning and stabilization of a photonic crystal nanofiber cavity
Abstract:
We report the photothermal properties of a photonic crystal nanofiber (PhCN) cavity, which is fabricated using a femtosecond laser ablation technique, under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The results show that by launching a non-resonant guided light, the stopband of the PhCN, along with the cavity modes, can be tuned at a rate of 250 GHz (∼0.5 nm)/mW. Moreover, due to the thermal self-locking effect of a resonant light, a cavity mode with a finesse of 25 can be tuned over a few free spectral ranges using only a few μW of guided light. As an enabling step, we demonstrate a dual-mode locking scheme to thermally stabilize a cavity mode to the atomic line for single atom-based cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
