Purcell enhancement of a cavity-coupled emitter in hexagonal boron nitride


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Integration of solid state quantum emitters into nanophotonic circuits is a critical step towards fully on-chip quantum photonic based technologies. Among potential materials platforms, quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride have emerged over the last years as viable candidate. While the fundamental physical properties have been intensively studied over the last years, only few works have focused on the emitter integration into photonic resonators. Yet, for a potential quantum photonic material platform, the integration with nanophotonic cavities is an important cornerstone, as it enables the deliberate tuning of the spontaneous emission and the improved readout of distinct transitions for that quantum emitter. In this work, we demonstrate the resonant tuning of an integrated monolithic hBN quantum emitter in a photonic crystal cavity through gas condensation at cryogenic temperature. We resonantly coupled the zero phonon line of the emitter to a cavity mode and demonstrate emission enhancement and lifetime reduction, with an estimation for the Purcell factor of ~ 15.
