TL;DR: An integrated nanophotonic network in diamond, consisting of a ring resonator coupled to an optical waveguide with grating in- and outcouplers, observes a large overall photon extraction efficiency and high quality factors of ring resonators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to embed single nitrogen-vacancy centers into ordered arrays of plasmonic nanostructures to enhance their radiative emission rate and thus give greater scalability over previous bottom-up approaches.

TL;DR: Amorphous and polycrystalline anatase TiO(2) thin films and submicrometer-wide waveguides with promising optical properties for microphotonic devices are demonstrated and transmission of 780-nm light through microbends having radii down to 2 μm and variable signal splitting in microphotonics couplers are shown.

Abstract: We demonstrate bowtie apertures that were designed and fabricated by a lift-off process to optically trap individual, 30 nm, silica-coated quantum dots (scQD). Simulations and experiments confirm the trapping capability of the system with a relatively low continuous wave trapping flux of 1.56 MW/cm2 at 1064 nm. Additionally, the scQD emits upon trapping via two-photon excitation from the trapping laser due to strong field enhancement inside the aperture. This system is an exciting platform for studying light–matter interactions and mulitphoton processes in single emitters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design and fabrication of nanobeam photonic crystal cavities in single crystal diamond for applications in cavity quantum electrodynamics was presented, which would allow for strong light-matter interaction.
