Abstract:
Les microtores de silice sur les puces de silicium sont un nouveau type de microcavités à modes de galerie. Dans la double filiation des microsphères de silice et des microdisques de GaAs, ils en combinent les avantages, soit la très haute surtension des cavités de silice fondue (Q ~ 107 – 109), et les faibles volumes accessibles par les microcavités intégrées (V~ 100*(lambda/N)3), ce qui fait d’eux des composants idéaux pour les expériences d’électrodynamique quantique en cavité et d’optique non-linéaire.

Abstract:
A system consisting of a sphere sitting on a clean mirror was modeled as a two particle system: the real sphere and its image sphere, treating the mirror as a conducting plane. When the system was irradiated with a plane-polarized collimated laser beam with varying angles of incidence, the scattering from each particle was assumed to follow Mie's solution for light scattering by a sphere. Phase difference between the scattering by the real sphere and the one by its image sphere was assessed by the geometry of the model. The far field solutions from each of the spheres were added to yield a pha
