Controlling light emission by engineering atomic geometries in silicon photonics

Bielejec, Edward S.

By engineering atomic geometries composed of nearly 1000 atomic segments embedded in micro-resonators, we observe Bragg resonances induced by the atomic lattice at the telecommunication wavelength. The geometrical arrangement of erbium atoms into a lattice inside a silicon nitride (SiN) microring resonator reduces the scattering loss at a wavelength commensurate with the lattice. We confirm dependency of light emission to the atomic positions and lattice spacing and also observe Fano interference between resonant modes in the system.
