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 ...

A team of Rice University researchers has developed a new way to control light interactions using a specially engineered ...

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 ...

Scientists at EPFL have made a breakthrough in designing arrays of resonators, the basic components that power quantum ...

Astronomers have discovered a giant, 500-light-year-wide cavity between two star-forming regions in the constellations Perseus and Taurus. An ancient supernova could be the culprit.

and can alter the spontaneous emission from a light source inside the cavity. Cavities can be created using photonic crystals or nanowires, for example. Molecular polaritons represent a versatile ...
