Integrated quantum optics and nanophotonics with defect centers in nano-diamonds
The main objective of
this subproject is to develop dedicated optical structures, (like waveguides,
nano fibers, photonic bandgap structures and resonators) in order to collect,
enhance and use the photons created in fluorescing nano-diamonds and to realize
integrated quantum optical and nanophotonic components. These components are
essential for the applicability of non classical light in quantum optics
experiments. We thus propose (1) the design and fabrication of integrated
photonic structures, (2) the optimization of the coupling of fluorescence into
photonic structures using nanopositioning of nano-diamonds and spectral fine
tuning, and (3) the realization of multiphoton quantum optics experiments on
integrated components.
