@article{3841, abstract = {{We present phase sensitive cavity field measurements on photonic crystal microcavities. The experiments have been performed as autocorrelation measurements with ps double pulse laser excitation for resonant and detuned conditions. Measured E-field autocorrelation functions reveal a very strong detuning dependence of the phase shift between laser and cavity field and of the autocorrelation amplitude of the cavity field. The fully resolved phase information allows for a precise frequency discrimination and hence for a precise measurement of the detuning between laser and cavity. The behavior of the autocorrelation amplitude and phase and their detuning dependence can be fully described by an analytic model. Furthermore, coherent control of the cavity field is demonstrated by tailored laser excitation with phase and amplitude controlled pulses. The experimental proof and verification of the above described phenomena became possible by an electric detection scheme, which employs planar photonic crystal microcavity photo diodes with metallic Schottky contacts in the defect region of the resonator. The applied photo current detection was shown to work also efficiently at room temperature, which make electrically contacted microcavities attractive for real world applications.}}, author = {{Quiring, Wadim and Jonas, Björn and Förstner, Jens and Rai, Ashish K. and Reuter, Dirk and Wieck, Andreas D. and Zrenner, Artur}}, issn = {{1094-4087}}, journal = {{Optics Express}}, keywords = {{tet_topic_phc}}, number = {{18}}, pages = {{20672--20684}}, publisher = {{The Optical Society}}, title = {{{Phase sensitive properties and coherent manipulation of a photonic crystal microcavity}}}, doi = {{10.1364/oe.24.020672}}, volume = {{24}}, year = {{2016}}, } @article{3884, abstract = {{e study the discrete soliton formation in one- and two- dimensional arrays of nanowires coated with graphene monolayers.
