Paraphoton generation by the mesoporous photonic crystals

Abstract

We propose the new solid-state technique to generate paraphotons at a laboratory. To do this, we offer the using of the polaritons’ Bose-Einstein condensation in the mesoporous aluminum oxide photonic crystal film at the photonic bandgap edge. This way, in the nearest-to-the surface pore, the synchronicity conditions are met, and, due to the high density of polariton states, the two photons-to-a paraphoton converion is resonant.
