Abstract

We investigate the single-photon transport problem in the system of a whispering-gallery mode microresonator chirally coupled with a two-level quantum emitter (QE). Conventionally, this chiral QE-microresonator coupling system can be studied by the master equation and the single-photon transport methods. Here, we provide a new approach, based on the transfer matrix, to assess the single-photon transmission of such a system. Furthermore, we prove that these three methods are equivalent. The corresponding relations of parameters among these approaches are precisely deduced. The transfer matrix can be extended to a multiple-resonator system interacting with two-level QEs in a chiral way. Therefore, our work may provide a convenient and intuitive form for exploring more complex chiral cavity quantum electrodynamics systems.
