Abstract
The optical properties of a photonic molecule consisting of three diamond microring cavities are theoretically investigated. The probability of single-photon excitation (optical response) of a photonic molecule by a weak laser field in the steady-state mode with regard to the dissipative effects is calculated using the model analogous to the tight binding approximation. It is shown that the spectrum can be fine tuned by depositing additional layers onto the photonic-molecule surface. The dependences of the wavelength of the mode corresponding to the zero-phonon optical transition in the NV center on the thickness of these layers and refractive index of their material are established. The NV center localized in the electromagnetic field antinode effectively interacts with the photonic molecule eigenmode, which can be observed as anticrossing points in the dependences of the optical response of the system on exciting laser and transition frequencies.
