Photonic crystal cavities: From nonlinear optics at a few photons level, to fast, energy efficient information processing

A combination of a single quantum emitter (a semiconductor quantum dot) with a semiconductor optical nanocavity has been employed to demonstrate devices ranging from optical switches and modulators controlled with sub-fJ energies, to quantum sources.
