Abstract :
Two possible structures that enable highly-efficient photon out-coupling from wavelength-scale resonators are to be discussed. Specifically the vertical beaming scheme and the all-fiber coupling scheme are discussed in detail, showing the possibility of high optical coupling efficiency in excess of 80%.
