چکیده
The realization of efficient optical interfaces for solid-state atom-like systems is an important problem in quantum science with potential applications in quantum communications and quantum information processing. We describe and demonstrate a technique for coupling single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers to suspended diamond photonic crystal cavities with quality factors up to 6000. Specifically, we present an enhancement of the NV center's zero-phonon line fluorescence by a factor of ~ 7 in low-temperature measurements.

Hybrid photonic crystal cavity and waveguide for coupling to diamond NV-centers.
A design for an ultra-high Q photonic crystal nanocavity engineered to interact with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers located near the surface of a single crystal diamond sample is presented. The structure is based upon a nanowire photonic crystal geometry, and consists of a patterned high refractive index thin film, such as gallium phosphide (GaP), supported by a diamond substrate. The nanocavity...
متن کاملCurbing culprits of chronic rejection
Diamonds to the rescue Keeping track of spin transport inside a spintronic device is challenging. Du et al. came up with a method involving diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, which can act like tiny, very sensitive magnetometers. The authors placed diamond nanobeams containing the NV centers in close proximity to the sample. This allowed them to measure the spin chemical potential of spin w...
متن کاملPhotonic Crystal Coupled to N-V Center in Diamond
In this work we aim to exploit one of the most studied defect color centers in diamond , the negatively charged nitrogen vacancy (NV−) color center, a three level system which emits a single photon at a wavelength of 637nm providing a possible deterministic single photon emitter very useful for quantum computing applications. Moreover the possibility of placing aNV−in a photonic crystal cavity ...
متن کاملDiamond 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...
متن کاملDeterministic coupling of a single nitrogen vacancy center to a photonic crystal cavity.
We describe and experimentally demonstrate a technique for deterministic, large coupling between a photonic crystal (PC) nanocavity and single photon emitters. The technique is based on in situ scanning of a PC cavity over a sample and allows the precise positioning of the cavity over a desired emitter with nanoscale resolution. The power of the technique is demonstrated by coupling the PC nano...
