In recent years, color centers of wide band-gap materials have drawn a lot of attention due to their superior properties for quantum technologies. One of the most interesting color center systems are the group-IV color centers in diamond due to their long spin coherence times and excellent optical properties such as narrow optical emission lines, high spectral stability, and bright single-photon emission. However, one of the main obstacles for realization of a quantum device exploiting color centers is the lack of efficient out-coupling of photon emission from the diamond itself which leads to low photon rates. We consider a group-IV color center in a diamond membrane evanescently coupled to photonic waveguides such as Silicon-on-Insulator and Ion-Exchanged glass waveguides. We present design studies and simulations including the membrane geometry, coupling interface, and waveguide structures using Finite-Element-Method simulations and Monte-Carlo optimization to improve the out-coupling of the emission in order to achieve high photon rates.
