Abstract

Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CQED) has been at the forefront of modern atomic physics and quantum optics. Of particular importance of CQED is the strong coupling regime whereby the coupling rate between atoms and cavity field dominates other dissipative rates [1]. To date, the requirements to obtain such significant interaction have been presumed to have micro-cavities with a high finesse and small mode volumes. Though having demonstrated remarkable results and progress, such cavities with limited optical access, high reflectivity coating and close distance between mirrors pose a challenge for scaling up and embedding other systems with CQED such as ion traps.
