Abstract

We design several single-photon-sources based on the emission of a quantum dot embedded in a semiconductor (GaAs) nanowire. Through various taper designs, we engineer the nanowire ends to realize efficient metallic-dielectric mirrors and to reduce the divergence of the far-field radiation diagram. Using fully-vectorial calculations and a comprehensive Fabry-Perot model, we show that various realistic nanowire geometries may act as nanoantennas (volume of approximately 0.05 lambda(3)) that assist funnelling the emitted photons into a single monomode channel. Typically, very high extraction efficiencies above 90% are predicted for a collection optics with a numerical aperture NA=0.85. In addition, since no frequency-selective effect is used in our design, this large efficiency is achieved over a remarkably broad spectral range, Deltalambda=70 nm at lambda=950 nm.

Abstract

We show that the giant Kerr nonlinearity in the regime of electromagnetically induced transparency in vapor can give rise to the formation of Thirring-type spatial solitons, which are supported solely by cross-phase modulation that couples the two copropagating light beams.

Abstract

The radiation efficiency of nano antennas is a critical parameter determining their suitability for various applications. To that end, the radiation efficiency of a single antenna is directly quantified using far-field measurements of the reflectance of an array comprising identical nano-antennas. Excellent agreement in terms of resonance frequencies, optical bandwidth, and scattering efficiency is found between the results of experimental measurements and finite element-based numerical analysis of scattering from Au nano-antenna arrays. Extremely high overall radiation efficiencies, exceeding 82%, are obtained. The high efficiency can facilitate the employment of such nano-antennas for applications in imaging, spectroscopy, and solar energy harvesting.

Abstract

International audience; Using a fully vectorial frequency-domain aperiodic Fourier modal method, we study nanowire metallic mirrors and their photonic performance. We show that the performance of standard quarter-wave Bragg mirrors at subwavelength diameters is surprisingly poor, while engineered metallic mirrors that incorporate a thin dielectric adlayer may offer reflectance larger than 90% even for diameters as small as lambda/5.

Abstract

The evolution of nonlinear light fields traveling inside a resonantly absorbing Bragg reflector is studied by use of Maxwell-Bloch equations. Numerical results show that a pulse initially resembling a light bullet may effectively experience negative refraction and anomalous dispersion in the resonantly absorbing Bragg reflector.

Abstract

We present a single-photon-source design based on the emission of a quantum dot embedded in a semiconductor (GaAs) nanowire. The nanowire ends are engineered (efficient metallic mirror and tip taper) to reach a predicted record-high collection efficiency of 90% with a realistic design. Preliminary experimental results already show a measured efficiency of 44%.
