Abstract:

The miniaturization of atom-light interaction platforms is pivotal for the advancement of modern optical technologies, enabling significant improvements in sensing, communication, and quantum information processing. In this paper, we present a theoretical investigation onto the coupling of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) of one-dimensional photonic crystal with atomic hot vapor, emphasizing the miniaturization of atomic structures. These surface waves are known for their strong field confinement and high sensitivity to environmental changes which offer a promising avenue for enhancing light-matter interactions at reduced scales. Our findings highlight the potential of Bloch surface waves to enhance and control the localized density of states thus improving the resolution of atomic transition lines. This study underscores the importance of integrating Bloch surface waves with atomic hot vapor for developing next-generation miniaturized optical devices, which can lead to breakthroughs in precision metrology, high-resolution spectroscopy, and quantum technologies.
