Quantum nanophotonics in diamond [Invited]

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...

Diamond nanophotonics

We demonstrate the coupling of single color centers in diamond to plasmonic and dielectric photonic structures to realize novel nanophotonic devices. Nanometer spatial control in the creation of single color centers in diamond is achieved by implantation of nitrogen atoms through high-aspect-ratio channels in a mica mask. Enhanced broadband single-photon emission is demonstrated by coupling nit...

Diamond nanophotonics and applications in quantum science and technology

Diamond nanophotonics have evolved tremendously from the study of color centers in bulk single crystals and nanocrystals to their characterization in nanostructured environments. This development was facilitated by the ability to generate monolithic, sophisticated nanodevices in high quality single crystal diamond. Here, we present some recent contributions to the field of diamond nanophotonics...

Silicon Nanophotonics Fabrication : an Innovative Graduate Course ( Invited Paper )

We report our recent successful experiences related to the development of a transcontinental course in silicon photonics offered by the University of British Columbia in collaboration with CMC Microsystems. The course is offered to students from across Canada and has attracted participants from nearly every Canadian university with an advanced photonics research program. The focus of the course...
