Abstract

>>kT, the nanoantenna radiates single photons. In the last case, we demonstrate the possibility of overcoming the radiation intensity of an individual single-photon source. This result opens the possibility of creating a high-intensity single-photon source.

We demonstrate a nanoantenna for single-photon photon sources on diamond, which does not only enhance the quantum efficiency via the Purcell effect, but also gives the possibility to collect more than 85% of emitted photons.

Diamond-based single-photon sources suffer from poor collection efficiency. Here, we present a plasmonic nanoantenna that gives the possibility to overcome this problem and extract about 90% of photons emitted by a silicon vacancy in diamond.

Plasmonic nanoantenna based triggered single-photon source

Jakob Straubel, Robert Filter, Carsten Rockstuhl +1 more

Highly integrated single-photon sources are key components in future quantum-optical circuits. Whereas the probabilistic generation of single photons can routinely be done by now, their triggered generation is a much greater challenge. Here, we describe the triggered generation of single photons in a hybrid plasmonic device. It consists of a lambda-type quantum emitter coupled to a multimode optical nanoantenna. For moderate interaction strengths between the subsystems, the description of the quantum optical evolution can be simplified by an adiabatic elimination of the electromagnetic fields of the nanoantenna modes. This leads to an insightful analysis of the emitter's dynamics, entails the opportunity to understand the physics of the device, and to identify parameter regimes for a desired operation. Even though the approach presented in this work is general, we consider a simple exemplary design of a plasmonic nanoantenna, made of two silver nanorods, suitable for triggered generation of single photons. The investigated device realizes single photons, triggered, potentially at high rates, and using low device volumes.
