Optical cavities, also known as optical resonators, are structures that confine light within a small volume by utilizing highly reflective surfaces. These cavities allow light to circulate or bounce ...

Researchers have developed a novel experimental platform to measure the electric fields of light trapped between two mirrors with a sub-cycle precision. These electro-optic Fabry-Pérot resonators ...

and can alter the spontaneous emission from a light source inside the cavity. Cavities can be created using photonic crystals or nanowires, for example. Achieving both high efficiency and narrow ...

The optomechanics of deformable optical cavities has seen arecent surge of interest. Research in this field, which started about 40 years ago, was and still largely remains driven by questions ...
