Abstract

In this work NV coupling to GaP waveguides on a diamond surface is demonstrated. The NV-waveguide coupling strength and waveguide loss are measured. This approach may be useful for NV-based quantum information processing.

Coupling of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond to a GaP waveguide

Kai‐Mei C. Fu, Charles Santori, Paul E. Barclay +5 more

The optical coupling of guided modes in a GaP waveguide to nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond is demonstrated. The electric field penetration into diamond and the loss of the guided mode are measured. The results indicate that the GaP-diamond system could be useful in realizing coupled microcavity-NV devices for quantum information processing in diamond.

We observe the coupling of nitrogen-vacancy centers in single-crystal diamond to GaP waveguides on the diamond surface. We describe the fabrication procedure and characterize the waveguide performance. Our results indicate that the GaP/diamond hybrid system is a promising system for coupling nitrogen-vacancies to optical microstructures for quantum information processing and sensing applications.

Structures in diamond for optical manipulation of nitrogen-vacancy centers

Charles Santori, Kai‐Mei C. Fu, Paul E. Barclay +1 more

We describe research on new optical structures in diamond for quantum information and sensing applications based on the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. Results include etching experiments that reveal the vertical distribution of NV centers produced by ion implantation and annealing, and gallium phosphide waveguides fabricated on diamond with evanescent coupling to NV centers close to the diamond surface.

Quantum information processing with diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers coupled to microcavities

Kai‐Mei C. Fu, Charles Santori, S. M. Spillane +1 more

Scalable quantum information processing using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond will be difficult without the ability to couple the centers to optical microcavities and waveguides. Here we present our preliminary result of coupling a single NV center in a nanoparticle to a silica microdisk at cryogenic temperatures. The cavity-coupled NV photoluminescence is coupled out of the cavity through a tapered fiber. Although the current system is limited by the spectral properties of the NV center and the Q of the cavity, efficient particle-cavity and cavity-waveguide coupling should lead to the realization of a "one-dimensional atom" as needed for CQED, enable single-shot electron-spin readout, and increase the probability of success in entanglement schemes based on single-photon detection.

Large-scale GaP-on-diamond integrated photonics platform for NV center-based quantum information

Michael Gould, Srivatsa Chakravarthi, Ian Christen +6 more

We present chip-scale transmission measurements for three key components of a gallium-phosphide (GaP)-on-diamond integrated photonics platform: waveguide-coupled disk resonators, directional couplers, and grating couplers. We also present proof-of-principle measurements demonstrating nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center-emission coupled into selected devices. The demonstrated device performance, uniformity, and yield place the platform in a strong position to realize measurement-based quantum information protocols utilizing the NV center in diamond.

Modification of the spontaneous emission rate of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond by coupling to plasmons

Andrei Faraon, Young Chul Jun, Paul E. Barclay +4 more

Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond are widely studied both as a testbed for solid state quantum optics and for their applications in quantum information processing and magnetometry. Here we demonstrate coupling of the nitrogen-vacancy centers to gap plasmons in metal nano-slits. We use diamond samples where nitrogen-vacancy centers are implanted tens of nanometers under the surface. Silver nano-slits are patterned on the sample such that diamond ridges tens of nanometers wide fill the slit gap. We measure enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate of the zero photon line by a factor of 3 at a temperature of 8K.
