- Authors: Sergey Lepeshov, Andrey Vyshnevyy, and Alex Krasnok
- Abstract summary: Light emitters are bound to strongly interact with light through enhanced absorption and scattering.
Overcoming these limitations forces the use of ineffective nonreciprocity approaches or separation of radiation and scattering in the frequency or time domain.
A nanolaser design that combines the properties of an efficient emitter in one state and the property of being invisible in another state is vital for various applications.

- Abstract: Light emitters are bound to strongly interact with light through enhanced
absorption and scattering, which imposes limitations on the design and
performance of photonic devices such as solar cells, nanoantennas, and (nano)
lasers. Overcoming these limitations forces the use of ineffective
nonreciprocity approaches or separation of radiation and scattering in the
frequency or time domain. A design that combines the properties of an efficient
emitter in one state and the property of being invisible in another state is
vital for various applications. In this work, we propose a nanolaser design
based on a semiconductor nanoparticle with gain coated by a phase transition
material (Sb2S3), switchable between lasing and cloaking (nonscattering) states
at the same operating frequency without change in pumping. The operation
characteristics of the nanolaser are rigorously investigated. The designed
nanolaser can operate with optical or electric pumping and possesses attributes
of a thresholdless laser due to the high beta-factor and strong Purcell
enhancement in the strongly confined Mie resonance mode. We design a
reconfigurable metasurface composed of lasing-cloaking metaatoms that can
switch from lasing to a nonscattering state in a reversible manner.

We propose a new approach to realize the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian using low energy free-electrons coupled to dielectric microcavities.
Our approach utilizes quantum recoil, which causes a large detuning that inhibits the emission of multiple consecutive photons.
We show that this approach can be used for generation of single photons with unity efficiency and high fidelity.

We propose a scheme to generate pure entanglement between designated optical excitations in a cavity and separable free-electron states.
Specifically, we shape the electron wave-function profile to dramatically reduce the number of accessible cavity modes.
