Abstract

We are currently developing a diamond single photon source based on patented technology held at the University of Melbourne. The key technology is the growth of diamond nanocrystals containing single photon sources directly on optical fibre endfaces

Single Photons from Diamonds

As the field of quantum optics develops, so does the requirement for a light source that can emit photons one at a time and on demand. One approach to fabricating a single-photon source is to attenuate the light source so that on average only a single photon will reach its destination.

Nano-manipulation of diamond-based single photon sources

Eric Ampem-Lassen, David Simpson, Brant C. Gibson +6 more

The ability to manipulate nano-particles at the nano-scale is critical for the development of active quantum systems. This paper presents a technique to manipulate diamond nano-crystals at the nano-scale using a scanning electron microscope, nano-manipulator and custom tapered optical fibre probes. The manipulation of a approximately 300 nm diamond crystal, containing a single nitrogen-vacancy centre, onto the endface of an optical fibre is demonstrated. The emission properties of the single photon source post manipulation are in excellent agreement with those observed on the original substrate.

Diamond chemical-vapor deposition on optical fibers for fluorescence waveguiding

J. R. Rabeau, Shane T. Huntington, Andrew D. Greentree +1 more

A technique has been developed for depositing diamond crystals on the endfaces of optical fibers and capturing the fluorescence generated by optically active defects in diamond into the fiber. This letter details the diamond growth on optical fibers and transmission of fluorescence through the fiber from the nitrogen-vacancy color center in diamond. Control of the concentration of defects incorporated during the chemical vapor deposition growth process is also demonstrated. These are critical steps in developing a fiber coupled single-photon source based on optically active defect centers in diamond.
