Abstract
Optical cavities with high figure of merit ${Q}/\!{V}$ is essential to enhance the interaction of light and matter. Here, a hybrid photonic-plasmonic nano-cavity, consisting of an L3 photonic crystal nano-cavity and plasmonic bowtie nano-antennas, is proposed to have an ultrahigh figure of merit ${Q}/\!{V}$ of $8.4 \times {10^6}{({\lambda /n})^{- 3}}$, which is the highest value ever demonstrated for all previous works about L3-type photonic crystal nano-cavities. The value of ${Q}/\!{V}$ is enhanced by more than 25 times compared to that in a bare L3 photonic crystal nano-cavity and is 60 times greater than plasmonic bowtie nano-antennas. As a result, the single-atom cooperativity parameter is improved by 26 times with respect to a bare L3 photonic crystal nano-cavity, and strong coupling between light and a single emitter is achieved. The proposed structure provides a new platform to achieve strong coupling between light and a single emitter, which holds great potential for applications in quantum optics, quantum information, and nonlinear optics.
