Fiber based Fabry-Perot cavities [1] are promising candidates for coupling a single N-V center in diamond to a micro-cavity. On the fiber facets spherical imprints have been produced either by CO2 laser machining or by focussed ion beam milling respectively prior to deposition of a dielectric coating. We achieve radii of curvature as small as 15 µ m and a depth of 1 µ m with a sub-nm surface roughness.
We investigate two different cavity setups: 1.) The cavity is built with one fiber mirror and a plane mirror onto which diamond nanocrystals containing single N-V centers have been spincoated. 2.) A cavity consisting of two fiber mirrors onto one of them a preselected diamond nanocrystal containing a single N-V center has been deposited.
These cavities are easily tunable and are automatically fiber-coupled. We have realized cavities with a Finesse of up to 4000 and a mode volume of less than 15 λ3.
