Characteristics of 1D ordered arrays of optical centers in solid-state photonics

Abstract

Collective interaction of emitter arrays has lately attracted significant attention due to its role in controlling directionality of
radiation, spontaneous emission and coherence. We focus on light interactions with engineered arrays of solid-state emitters in
photonic resonators. We theoretically study light interaction with an array of emitters or optical centers embedded inside a
microring resonator and discuss its application in the context of solid-state photonic systems. We discuss how such arrays can
be experimentally realized and how the inhomogeneous broadening of mesoscopic atomic arrays can be leveraged to study
broadband collective excitations in the array.
