Aharonov-Bohm photonic cages in waveguide and coupled resonator lattices by synthetic magnetic fields (1407.3486v2)
Published 13 Jul 2014 in quant-ph and physics.optics
Abstract: We suggest a method for trapping photons in quasi one-dimensional waveguide or coupled-resonator lattices, which is based on an optical analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm cages for charged particles. Light trapping results from a destructive interference of Aharonov-Bohm type induced by a synthetic magnetic field, which is realized by periodic modulation of the waveguide/resonator propagation constants/resonances.
