The research on the optical response of the collected system of the active semiconductor micro-materials

理论上，在周期性排列微结构以形成闭合链环的系统中，可以实现非常长的光子寿命和由此产生的非常高的品质因数(Q因数)。我们称它为光子环礁谐振器。辐射Q因子在光能带边缘附近达到极高值，可以认为是准一维光子晶体中产生的光子带。这种谐振器与其他谐振器相比具有优势，例如使用位于常规光子晶体中的缺陷模的谐振器。

Very long photon lifetimes and resultant very high quality factors (Q factors) are theoretically achieved in a system where microstructures are arranged periodically to make a closed chain loop. We call it a photonic-atoll resonator. The radiative Q factor reaches an extremely high value in the vicinity of the edges of the light energy bands that could be regarded as the photonic bands created in the quasi-one-dimensional photonic crystal. This resonator is shown to have advantages over other resonators, e.g., a resonator using the defect mode localized in a regular photonic crystal.
