title: Finite-difference time-domain analysis of photonic crystal slab cavities with two-level systems.
abstract: In this paper, we report the numerical simulation of an atom-cavity interaction within photonic crystal nano-cavities. The numerical model is based on a damping oscillator description of a dipole current and it is implemented with a finite-difference time-domain method. Using the method, we successfully simulate the atom-cavity mode field interactions of a two-level system embedded in a photonic crystal cavity under several coupling strength conditions. We show that enhancement and suppression of optical emission rate from a two-level system are also shown by this model.
