Abstract

We demonstrate a bright and strongly polarized single-photon source directly coupled into an optical fiber. The system is realized by combining single quantum dots and gold nanorods on optical nanofiber.

Bright and Polarized Fiber In-Line Single-Photon Source Based on Plasmon-Enhanced Emission into Nanofiber Guided Modes

K. Muhammed Shafi, Ramachandrarao Yalla, K. P. Nayak

We demonstrate a bright and polarized fiber in-line single-photon source based on plasmon-enhanced emission of colloidal single quantum dots into an optical nanofiber. We show that emission properties of single quantum dots can be strongly enhanced in the presence of single gold nanorods leading to a bright and strongly polarized single-photon emission. The single photons are efficiently coupled to guided modes of the nanofiber and eventually to a single-mode optical fiber. The brightness (fiber-coupled photon count rate) of the single-photon source is estimated to be $12.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6$ MHz, with high single-photon purity [${g}^{2}(0)=0.20\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04$] and degree of polarization as high as 94--97 %. The polarized and fiber-coupled single photons can be implemented for potential applications in quantum photonics.

Plasmon-Enhanced Single Photon Source on an Optical Nanofiber

Yining Xuan, Masakazu Sugawara, Yasuyoshi Mitsumori +2 more

We study a gold nanoparticle-quantum-dot coupled system on an optical nanofiber, serving as enhanced single photon source in a fiber-based communication network. Purcell enhancement and degree-of-polarization enhancement are considered for two different types of nanoparticles.

Quantum Photonics on a Tapered Optical Fiber

K. P. Nayak

A tapered optical fiber with subwavelength diameter waist, an optical nanofiber, provides a unique and all-fiber platform for manipulating atoms and photons. This paper presents some recent results towards quantum photonics on a nanofiber platform. In one direction, we demonstrate a quantum interface between trapped single atoms and fiber-guided photons using a nanofiber cavity. In the other direction, we demonstrate a polarized fiber-in-line quantum light source using a hybrid system of a single gold nanorod and single quantum dot deposited on a nanofiber.

Efficient single-photon sources at telecom wavelength with fiber-optic interface (Conference Presentation)

Chang-Min Lee, Mustafa Atabey Buyukkaya, Shahriar Aghaeimeibodi +2 more

Bright fiber-coupled single photon sources are essential components for practical quantum network. In this work, we present a bright single photon source based on an InAs/InP quantum dot emitting at telecom wavelengths. We designed a nanobeam with a photonic crystal mirror at the other end and a tapered coupler at the other end enabling both directional emission and gaussian-like far-field profile. We detected fiber-coupled single photon count rate of 1.1 MHz with 40 MHz pumping rate. Considering losses from optics and spectral filters, we achieved collection efficiency into first lens of 68% and a total fiber collection efficiency of 8.2%.
