| Popis: | In recent years the studies of electromagnetic modes in solid spherical microcavities have been of great interest both for their potential applications and fundamental optical properties. A system of coherently coupled microcavities may be called a “photonic molecule” and can be employed in the tight-binding device in order to manipulate photons in micrometer length scale. In this work we demonstrate the possibility of mode manipulation in systems of symmetric photonic molecules formed by placing several high-Q micro-spheres in contact. We observe photonic nanojets that reflect the symmetry of the photonic molecule, with 3 jets located at 120 degrees with respect to each other for the triangular photonic molecule. A benzene molecule-like structure consisting of a 7-microspheres cyclic photonic molecule shows a field emission pattern similar to the spatial distribution of the orbitals of the benzene molecule. We also present some results showing the coexistence of whispering gallery modes and photonic nanojets in the same structure. |
