Inverse-Designed Nanophotonic Resonators for Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics with Diamond Color Centers
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In recent years, inverse design has emerged as a powerful method for applications in nanophotonics, yielding non-intuitive device geometries that exhibit a comparable performance to their traditional counterparts. In this thesis, we provide optimal inverse designs of nanophotonic resonators for cavity quantum electrodynamics with diamond color centers. Color centers, optically active spin defects in diamond, hold vast promise for applications in quantum networks. However, their potential is hindered by low photon collection rates in bulk. In this work, we employ the latest developments in inverse design capabilities to optimize diamond Fabry-Pérot microcavities. These microcavities enhance color center emission in the zero-phonon line via the Purcell effect, allowing for significantly higher collection rates. As a material, diamond has long remained challenging for inverse design, owing to constraints in processing and fabrication. The recent advent of diamond thin-films now allows for the full potential of inverse design, and could pave the way for scalable, diamond-based quantum networks.
