AbstractHybrid cavity-antenna systems have been proposed to combine the sub-wavelength light confinement of plasmonic antennas with microcavity quality factors Q. Here, we examine what confinement and Q can be reached in these hybrid systems, and we address their merits for various applications in classical and quantum optics. Specifically, we investigate their applicability for quantum-optical applications at noncryogenic temperatures. To this end we first derive design rules for hybrid resonances from a simple analytical model. These rules are benchmarked against full-wave simulations of hybrids composed of state-of-the-art nanobeam cavities and plasmonic-dimer gap antennas. We find that hybrids can outperform the plasmonic and cavity constituents in terms of Purcell factor, and additionally offer freedom to reach any Q at a similar Purcell factor. We discuss how these metrics are highly advantageous for a high Purcell factor, yet weak-coupling applications, such as bright sources of indistinguishable single photons. The challenges for room-temperature strong coupling, however, are far more daunting: the extremely high dephasing of emitters implies that little benefit can be achieved from trading confinement against a higher Q, as done in hybrids. An attractive alternative could be strong coupling at liquid nitrogen temperature, where emitter dephasing is lower and this trade-off can alleviate the stringent fabrication demands required for antenna strong coupling. For few-emitter strong-coupling, high-speed and low-power coherent or incoherent light sources, particle sensing and vibrational spectroscopy, hybrids provide the unique benefit of very high local optical density of states, tight plasmonic confinement, yet microcavity Q.

In this paper, a theoretical investigation of negative optoelectronic feedback study in Nano quantum cascade lasers is presented. The present rate equation model has been modified to include the nano laser factors such as the Purcell factor and the spontaneous emission factor. The results indicate that the present rate equation model can be using to study the effect of Purcell factor and the spontaneous emission factor on the negative optoelectronic feedback in Nano quantum cascade lasers. It is found that the increase in Purcell factor value leads to increase in photon number and decrease the carrier number in all quantum states. Also, the dynamic of photon number (S) tends to stable at constant value with the increase of Purcell effect i.e. there is small variation in photon number and carrier number( , , ). The decreases in enhanced spontaneous emission factor value leads to increases in carrier number and decreases the photon number and we note small variation in these values.
