Numerical modeling of the coupling efficiency of single quantum emitters in photonic-crystal waveguides

چکیده
Planar photonic nanostructures have recently attracted a great deal of attention for quantum optics applications. In this paper, we carry out full 3D numerical simulations to fully account for all radiation channels and thereby quantify the coupling efficiency of a quantum emitter embedded in a photonic-crystal waveguide. We determine the leakage from the quantum emitter to the surrounding environment and study its spectral and spatial dependence. The spatial maps of the coupling efficiency, the β factor, reveal that even for moderately slow light, a near-unity β factor is achievable and is remarkably robust to the position of the emitter in the waveguide. ©2018

Numerical modelling of the coupling efficiency of single quantum emitters in photonic-crystal waveguides
Planar photonic nanostructures have recently attracted a great deal of attention for quantum optics applications. In this article, we carry out full 3D numerical simulations to fully account for all radiation channels and thereby quantify the coupling efficiency of a quantum emitter embedded in a photonic-crystal waveguide. We utilize mixed boundary conditions by combining active Dirichlet boun...
متن کاملStatistical measurements of quantum emitters coupled to Anderson-localized modes in disordered photonic-crystal waveguides.
We present a statistical study of the Purcell enhancement of the light emission from quantum dots coupled to Anderson-localized cavities formed in disordered photonic-crystal waveguides. We measure the time-resolved light emission from both single quantum emitters coupled to Anderson-localized cavities and directly from the cavities that are fed by multiple quantum dots. Strongly inhibited and ...

Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....

In this paper, a channel drop ring resonator filter based on two dimensional photonic crystal is proposed which is suitable for all optical communication systems. The multilayer of silicon rods in the center of resonant ring enables one to adjust resonant wavelength of the ring and enhance power coupling efficiency between ring and waveguide.
