Abstract:
We investigate light-matter interactions in multi-element optical resonators and provide a roadmap for the identification of structural resonances and the description of the interaction of single extended cavity modes with quantum emitters or mechanical resonators. Using a first principle approach based on the transfer matrix formalism we analyze, both numerically and analytically, the static and dynamical properties of three-and four-mirror cavities. We investigate in particular conditions under which the confinement of the field in specific subcavities allows for enhanced light-matter interactions in the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity optomechanics.
