Multifunctional all-dielectric nano-optical systems using collective multipole Mie resonances: toward on-chip integrated nanophotonics

Abstract

We present an analysis of the optical response of a class of on-chip integrated nanophotonic systems comprising all-dielectric building block based multifunctional light manipulating units (LMU) integrated with quantum dot (QD) light sources. The multiple functions (such as focusing excitation light, QD emission rate enhancement, photon guidance, and lossless propagation) are simultaneously realized using the collective Mie resonances of dipole and higher order multipole modes of the dielectric building blocks (DBBs) constituting a single structural unit, the LMU. Using analytical formulation based on Mie theory we demonstrate enhancement of the excitation light simultaneously with the guiding and propagation of the emitted light from a QD emitter integrated with the DBB based LMU. The QD-DBB integrated structures can serve as the basic element for building nano-optical active circuits for optical information processing in both classical and quantum realms.2

Planarized spatially-regular arrays of spectrally uniform single quantum dots as on-chip single photon sources for quantum optical circuits

“…Together, this opens the pathway to the fabrication of on-chip integrated QOCs. To this end, we also report here a design for the integration of such buried MTSQDs with the basic light manipulating building units of circuits which can control QD emission rate, direct and guide photon emission utilizing the collective Mie mode of dielectric building blocks (DBBs) 12,15,16 as schematically shown as transparent blocks in Fig. 1(f).…”

“…Panels (d) and (e) depict the evolution of the planarization GaAs overlayer growth on the MTSQD arrays such as shown in Panel (a). Panel (f) depicts the two approaches to integration of the needed emitted photon manipulation elements (cavity and waveguide) implemented via the conventional 2D photonic crystal approach or the new paradigm of exploiting the collective Mie-like resonances 15,16 of all dielectric metastructures. Two SPSs are depicted to emphasize the critical role of panel (e) in enabling creation inter-connected array of multiple SPSs in a horizontal architecture that constitute quantum optical circuits.…”

Highly pure single photon emission from spectrally uniform surface-curvature directed mesa top single quantum dot ordered array

“…We find that the measured data can be explained by the combined effect of two linearly polarized FSS states shown as the black curve in Fig 2(b) with the two FSS states polarized primarily along [110] (blue curve in Fig. 2(b) representing the dipole element< u E + |−er ⃗|u H + > +< u E − |−er ⃗|u H − >) and [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] (red curve in Fig. 2(b) representing the dipole element < + |− ⃗| + > −< − |− ⃗| − >) directions but with different amplitudes due to the mixing of HH-LH manifold represented by |β|=0.25±0.02.…”

Mesa-top quantum dot single photon emitter arrays: Growth, optical characteristics, and the simulated optical response of integrated dielectric nanoantenna-waveguide systems

“…Additionally, using the symmetries of the Mie resonant modes, DBB based nanoantenna structures 27 have been shown to enhance the emission rate (Purcell effect) of a dipole like source. Recently we have proposed the use of the collective properties of the different multipole modes of high index DBBs (such as GaAs, Si, TiO 2 ) in QD-DBB integrated systems (Fig.2) to simultaneously implement multiple functions 29,30 such as focusing excitation light, enhancing emission rate, guiding and propagating the emitted photons. Simultaneous implementation of such broad range of functions on micron scale footprint carries high payoff towards the development of integrated quantum nanophotonic system design.…”
