| Abstract: | Confining electromagnetic radiation to a volume whose dimensions are smaller than the radiation wavelength has been a long-standing scientific and technological goal. In my talk, I will discuss theoretically the feasibility of achieving this goal by placing a single semiconductor quantum dot of dimensions which are orders of magnitude smaller than its resonant optical transition wavelength, in a planar microcavity. I will then present preliminary experimental data which suggests that we have been able to achieve this very important goal. |
