چکیده

We present direct imaging of the emission pattern of individual chromium-based single photon emitters in diamond and measure their quantum efficiency. By imaging the excited state transition dipole intensity distribution in the back focal plane of high numerical aperture objective, we determined its 3D orientation. Employing ion implantation techniques, the emitters were placed at various distances from the diamond-air interface. By comparing the decay rates from the single chromium emitters at different depths in the diamond crystal, we measured an average quantum efficiency of 28%.

Patterning metamaterials for fast and efficient single-photon sources

Solid state quantum emitters are prime candidates to realize fast on-demand single-photon sources. The improvement in photon emission and collection efficiencies for quantum emitters, such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, can be achieved by using a near-field coupling to nanophotonic structures. Plasmonic metamaterial structures with hyperbolic dispersion have been previously demons...

Single-spin stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy.

We experimentally demonstrate precision addressing of single-quantum emitters by combined optical microscopy and spin resonance techniques. To this end, we use nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond confined within a few ten nanometers as individually resolvable quantum systems. By developing a stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) technique for NV centers, we are able to...

Broadband Emission Enhancement of the Extraction of Light from Solid-State Emitters by Metallic Nano-rings

Bright single-photon sources are an essential ingredient for quantum technology applications. Solid-state single-photon emitters are particularly suitable for the integration in on-chip devices [1]. However, they suffer from poor extraction efficiencies due to the high refractive index contrast between the bulk semiconductor and air, resulting in a small fraction of the emitted light being coll...

Imaging of Single Photon Emitter Fluorescence and Photon Antibunching

In this experiment we demonstrate the Confocal Microscope fluorescence imaging of various single photon emitters like carbon nanotube, quantum dots and color centre in nano-diamonds. We also measure their spectrum to characterize them. Finally we use the Hanbury Brown and Twiss Setup to test if the photons emitted from our source has antibunching properties.
