Strong-Coupling Quantum Dynamics in a Structured Photonic Band Gap: Enabling On-chip All-optical Computing

In this thesis, we demonstrate a new type of resonant, nonlinear, light-matter interaction facilitated by the unique electromagnetic vacuum density-of-state (DOS) structure of Photonic Band Gap (PBG) materials. Strong light localization inside PBG waveguides allows extremely strong coupling between...
