Mode Behavior of Coupled Photonic Cavities — •Dennis Ehmer, Matthias Reichelt, and Torsten Meier — Department Physik, Universität Paderborn, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn, Germany

The mode behavior of several coupled photonic cavities embedded in a dielectric Bragg structure is investigated numerically using the finite-difference time-domain algorithm [1]. It is shown that for the case of three cavities the well-known symmetry of the eigenmodes leads to a zero field in one of the cavities which has also been recently measured for three coupled microdisk resonators [2]. Furthermore, the coupling strength between two cavities depending on geometrical parameters is determined. [3] It is planned to additionally introduce semiconductor quantum dots into the cavities.
