Single rare-earth ions in YAG are attractive candidates for quantum information processing due to inherent properties, foremost of which is the shielding of the optically active 4f electrons by higher orbitals. Previous work in this group has demonstrated detection and addressing of single Ce3+ ions in YAG crystals, albeit with low detection efficiency related to the radiative lifetime.
In an effort to enhance the zero phonon line emission and demonstrate cavity quantum electrodynamics on this system, amorphous TiO2 whispering gallery mode resonators were fabricated on the crystals. Film quality is of utmost importance for figures of merit such as the propagation losses and quality factors of the resonators. Hence, different deposition and patterning methods were tried out. The simulation, fabrication and characterization of these devices is presented.
