Hybrid devices for quantum nanophotonics

Integrated diamond networks for quantum nanophotonics.

We demonstrate an integrated nanophotonic network in diamond, consisting of a ring resonator coupled to an optical waveguide with grating in- and outcouplers. Using a nitrogen-vacancy color center embedded inside the ring resonator as a source of photons, single photon generation and routing at room temperature is observed. Furthermore, we observe a large overall photon extraction efficiency (1...

Hybrid 2D Material Nanophotonics: A Scalable Platform for Low-Power Nonlinear and Quantum Optics

Two-dimensional, atomically thin materials offer unique physical properties, such as a large second-order optical nonlinearity. Integrating these materials into a scalable and silicon-compatible platform could provide a pathway toward realizing low-power nonlinear optics. We have presented a formalism to calculate the effective nonlinear optical coefficient for a cavity integrated 2D material s...
