Applications of cooperative subwavelength quantum emitter arrays — •Nico Baßler1,2, Michael Reitz1, Kai Phillip Schmidt2, and Claudiu Genes1,21Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Erlangen, Germany — 2Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen, Germany

Abstract: We describe applications of subwavelength quantum emitter arrays as optical elements and in the context of chiral hybrid cavity design. A single two-dimensional array can act as an optical atom-thick metasurface with a narrow reflectivity window [1]. For normal illumination, the cooperative optical response, stemming from emitter-emitter dipole exchanges, can be augmented via externally tunable magnetic fields to control the state of polarization in transmission [2]. This is particularly interesting for the case of circularly polarized light, where the array can act as a chiral mirror, thus allowing the design of strongly frequency dependent, hybrid [3], chiral cavities. We then consider the application of such chiral cavities to the sensitive detection of chirality in enantiomers.
