Purcell effect enhancement of spontaneous emission rates is demonstrated for isoelectronic trap single-photon emitters. Two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs with L3 defects were fabricated in nitrogen delta-doped GaAs. Photoluminescence spectra of each photonic crystal cavity had a series of sharp and bright lines arising from individual nitrogen luminescence centers, which was confirmed by Hanbury-Brown and Twiss measurements. The emission rates of these lines depended on cavity detuning, indicating a resonant character of the enhancement. The observed emission lifetime in the cavity was 400 ps, which would be the shortest lifetime reported so far for luminescence centers in GaAs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
