A Fabry-Perot interferometer with quantum mirrors: nonlinear light transport and rectification

Understand

Optical transport represents a natural route towards fast communications, and it is currently used in large scale data transfer.

• The progressive miniaturization of devices for information processing calls for the microscopic tailoring of light transport and confinement at length scales appropriate for the upcoming technologies.
• With this goal in mind, we present a theoretical analysis of a one-dimensional Fabry-Perot interferometer built with two highly saturable nonlinear mirrors: a pair of two-level systems.
• Our approach captures non-linear and non-reciprocal effects of light transport that were not reported previously.
