Abstract:
We experimentally and theoretically studied the photon lifetime spectral distribution in two coherently
coupled spherical microcavities of
3?16
m
diameter forming a photonic molecule, which shows a multi-
peak narrowband modal structure resulting from lifting of the mode degeneracy with respect to the azi-
muthal quantum number. The results demonstrate the feasibility of photonic molecules as a basis for a mul-
tichannel, wavelength-tunable optical delay-line device, which can be used for delay times in the range
10 ps to 1 ns
