Abstract

Coupling of lithe emitters to the fiber Bragg grating cavity is experimentally realized and the position dependence of spontaneous emission of a single dipole coupled to the cavity is numerically analyzed using 3D FDTD.

Evaluation of the coupling efficiency of large-diameter nanofiber Bragg cavities

Kengo Sakamoto, Konosuke Shimazaki, Hideaki Takashima +1 more

We analyze the coupling efficiency of a single dipole with a nanofiber Bragg cavity (NFBC) for single photon sources. Conventionally, NFBC diameters are set at approximately half of the emission wavelength to maximize coupling efficiency, but these thin structures are fragile at low temperatures. By employing three-dimensional finite difference time domain simulations, we investigate NFBCs with diameters ranging from 450 to 600 nm, which offer more mechanical robustness. Our results show that NFBCs with diameters of 450 and 500 nm achieve coupling efficiencies exceeding 80%. This study paves the way for practical single-photon sources with enhanced mechanical stability, which is crucial for applications in quantum networks and quantum computing.

Optimization of nanofiber gratings for efficient single-photon collection

Subrat Sahu, K. P. Nayak, Rajan Jha

Abstract We report on a simulation of a nanophotonic cavity constructed by designing periodic holes on an optical nanofiber to realize light–matter interaction. The cavity is designed using finite-difference time-domain simulations to maximize the coupling of spontaneous emission from a quantum emitter into fiber-guided modes. We systematically analyze the dependence of spontaneous emission on the quantum emitter position, polarization, and the grating strength (number of periods). We show that coupling efficiencies as high as 87% and 83% can be realized for a dipole emitter placed at the center of the nanofiber with polarization perpendicular ( x -pol) and parallel ( y -pol) to the hole-axis, respectively. This system may attract various quantum photonic applications based on single-photon sources.

We introduce nanofiber Bragg cavities fulfilling three important requirements: small mode-volume, wide tuning-range, and efficient fiber-coupling. In a first application, we show enhancement of single quantum emitters such as quantum dots and nitrogen vacancy centers.

Nanofiber integrated single light emitters for efficient single photon sources

Shigeki Takeuchi

In this talk, our recent activities for nanofiber-integrated single light emitters for photonic quantum network. First, we report the coupling of various single light emitters, including diamond nanocrystals with color centers and hexagonal Boron Nitride flakes, to ultra-thin tapered optical fibers (nano optical fiber) with a diameter as small as 300 nm, keeping the transmittance of the fiber more than 90%. Second, for further improvement of the coupling efficiency, we introduce our development of nanofiber Bragg cavity (NFBC) with the mode volume of under 1 mu m^3 and repeatable tuning capability over more than 20 nm at visible wavelengths. The improvement of Q factor using He-ion beam milling will also be reported.
