Quantum plasmonics with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond
Simeon Bogdanov
Purdue University, USA
I
ntegrated quantum photonics imposes very stringent and often contradictory requirements on the design of integrated
optical components. Plasmonic materials promise to confer novel properties to integrated quantum devices, that are not
achievable with dielectric materials, such as nanoscale footprint, ultrafast operation and very strong light-matter interaction.
In this talk, we will focus on the advantages of plasmonics for producing single photons. Our single-photon source is based
on a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond in a gap-plasmon cavity. It features a 200-fold speed-up in emission and a 30-fold
increase in detected photon count compared to a reference source made without the plasmonic cavity. We discuss the potential
of this enhancement mechanism for the engineering of tomorrow’s quantum photonic systems.
Biography
Simeon Bogdanv has received his PhD from the group of Manijeh Razeghi at Northwestern University in 2014. He is currently a Post-doctoral Research Associate
at Purdue University in the group of Vladimir M Shalaev. His research interests include optoelectronic devices and quantum nanophotonics. His scientific
achievements include the fabrication of InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors operating at 10 µm with the lowest dark current and the world’s brightest single-
photon source based on a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. He is Member of the Optical Society of America and serves as Reviewer for journals such as
Optics
Express, Optics Materials Express, Optics Letters
and
Nanophotonics
