Photonic integrated circuits hold great promise for realizing scalable quantum technologies. On-chip implementation of those circuits requires an efficient interface between quantum emitters and nanophotonic devices. Such an interface can be provided using photonic crystal nanobeam cavities, which combine wavelength-scale mode volumes with high quality factors.
We show that the design and fabrication of photonic crystal nanobeam cavities in the visible wavelength regime is possible directly on-substrate. Our cavities are designed to host NV-centers in nanodiamonds. We stress that the on-substrate design allows compatibility with modern fabrication processes. Three different cavity geometries based on a mode-matching and a deterministic design approach are optimised using 3D-FDTD simulations. Here, we present the optimization strategies and the resulting parameters. Using the optimized parameters, we verify the theoretical predictions experimentally, finding a reasonable agreement. In our case the mode-matching approach is found advantageous for on-substrate realizations.
Our results pave the way for integrating quantum emitters with nanophotonic circuits for applications in quantum technologies.
