The interaction between single quantum emitters and non-transversally polarized photons for which the electric field vector amplitude has a significant component in the direction of propagation is investigated. Even though this situation seems to be at odds with the description of light as a transverse wave, it regularly occurs when interfacing or manipulating emitters with non-paraxial, guided, or evanescent light. Here, this phenomenon for the case of single atoms that strongly interact with…

Four-port SNAP microresonator device.
TLDR
A four-port micro-device based on a SNAP microresonator introduced at the surface of an optical fiber is experimentally demonstrated to choose the resonant wavelength and simultaneously determine the positions of the input-output microfiber tapers to arrive at the required resonance condition.
Optical Chirality and Single-Photon Isolation
Optical isolation is important for protecting a laser from damage due to the detrimental back reflection of light. It typically relies on breaking Lorentz reciprocity and normally is achieved via the…

Controllable single-photon nonreciprocal propagation between two waveguides chirally coupled to a quantum emitter.
TLDR
The results show that for a nonresonant photon, the perfect single-photon nonreciprocal propagation can be realized by adjusting the Rabi frequency and detuning and the system is switchable by using the classic field.
Large Purcell enhancement with nanoscale non-reciprocal photon transmission in chiral gap-plasmon-emitter systems.
TLDR
A gap-plasmon-emitter system demonstrating large Purcell enhancement with effective nanoscale non-reciprocal photon transmission offers an efficient way for photon routing in optical circuits and quantum networks and also extends methods for manipulating non-Reciprocal devices.
A photonic interface of chiral cavity quantum electrodynamics
Cavity quantum electrodynamics studies light-matter interactions at single quanta level. Chiral photon-emitter coupling in photonic structures is characterized as unidirectional propagation locked by…

We present the dipole induced transparency (DIT) of a diamond nitrogen-vacancy center embedded in a photonic crystal cavity coupled to two waveguides, and it is obvious with the robust and flexible…
