“…The Purcell enhancement of optical density of states by the WGM dramatically increases light emission and scattering (Chang and Campillo, 1996;Vahala, 2004). Strong coupling of a single emitter (atom or quantum dot) to a WGM of a microdisk or a microtoroid has been achieved (Aoki et al, 2006;Peter et al, 2005;Srinivasan and Painter, 2006), facilitating the studies of cavity quantum electrodynamics. The strong buildup of intracavity optical field greatly enhances nonlinear coupling of light with matter (Chang and Campillo, 1996).…”
