强耦合腔量子电动力学(cavity quantum electrodynamics, 简称C-QED)系统主要用于研究受限于空间中的光与物质相互作用的物理现象。该系统为深入认识原子与光子间相互作用的动力学行为提供了有力工具。高精细度法布里-珀罗光学微腔(Fabry-Perot cavity, F-P腔)作为强耦合C-QED系统的核心部分,是实现光与物质间的强耦合、探索极端条件下光与物质间的相互作用、精确操控原子以及灵敏探测相关过程等的基础。简要介绍了高精细度F-P腔及其在强耦合C-QED中的应用,包括研究背景、现状及发展动态,并就未来的发展和应用进行了展望。

The main goal of strongly coupled cavity quantum electrodynamics (C-QED) is to study physical phenomena occurring during the interaction between light field and matter confined in a finite space. The C-QED system provides an effective tool for the deep understanding of the dynamic behaviors of atoms interacting with photons. As the core of the C-QED system, the high-finesse Fabry-Perot (F-P) optical cavity plays the basic roles in the realization of strong coupling between light and matter, in the exploring of the interaction between light and matter under the extreme conditions, in the precision control of atoms, and in the sensitive detection of the related processes. We briefly introduce the high-finesse F-P cavity and its applications in strongly coupled C-QED system, including its research background, status and development trend. In addition, the future development and potential applications are prospected.
