Dynamic control of Purcell enhanced emission of erbium ions in nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: The interaction of single quantum emitters with an optical cavity enables the realization of efficient spin-photon interfaces, an essential resource for quantum networks. The dynamical control of the spontaneous emission rate of quantum emitters in cavities has important implications in quantum technologies, e.g., for shaping the emitted photons' waveform or for driving coherently the optical transition while preventing photon emission. Here we demonstrate the dynamical control of the Purcell enhanced emission of a small ensemble of erbium ions doped into a nanoparticle. By embedding the nanoparticles into a fully tunable high finesse fiber based optical microcavity, we demonstrate a median Purcell factor of 15 for the ensemble of ions. We also show that we can dynamically control the Purcell enhanced emission by tuning the cavity on and out of resonance, by controlling its length with sub-nanometer precision on a time scale more than two orders of magnitude faster than the natural lifetime of the erbium ions. This capability opens prospects for the realization of efficient nanoscale quantum interfaces between solid-state spins and single telecom photons with controllable waveform, for non-destructive detection of photonic qubits, and for the realization of quantum gates between rare-earth ion qubits coupled to an optical cavity.

Purcell Enhancement of Erbium Ions in TiO<sub>2</sub> on Silicon Nanocavities.

Project description:Isolated solid-state atomic defects with telecom optical transitions are ideal quantum photon emitters and spin qubits for applications in long-distance quantum communication networks. Prototypical telecom defects, such as erbium, suffer from poor photon emission rates, requiring photonic enhancement using resonant optical cavities. Moreover, many of the traditional hosts for erbium ions are not amenable to direct incorporation with existing integrated photonics platforms, limiting scalable fabrication of qubit-based devices. Here, we present a scalable approach toward CMOS-compatible telecom qubits by using erbium-doped titanium dioxide thin films grown atop silicon-on-insulator substrates. From this heterostructure, we have fabricated one-dimensional photonic crystal cavities demonstrating quality factors in excess of 5 × 104 and corresponding Purcell-enhanced optical emission rates of the erbium ensembles in excess of 200. This easily fabricated materials platform represents an important step toward realizing telecom quantum memories in a scalable qubit architecture compatible with mature silicon technologies.

Pyrene-Phosphonate Conjugate: Aggregation-Induced Enhanced Emission, and Selective Fe3+ Ions Sensing Properties.

Project description:A new pyrene-phosphonate colorimetric receptor 1 has been designed and synthesized in a one-step process via amide bond formation between pyrene butyric acid chloride and phosphonate-appended aniline. The pyrene-phosphonate receptor 1 showed aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) properties in water/acetonitrile (ACN) solutions. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) characterization revealed that the aggregates of receptor 1 at 80% water fraction have an average size of ≈142 nm. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis confirmed the formation of spherical aggregates upon solvent evaporation. The sensing properties of receptor 1 were investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and other optical methods. Among the tested metal ions, receptor 1 is capable of recognizing the Fe3+ ion selectively. The changes in spectral measurements were explained on the basis of complex formation. The composition of receptor 1 and Fe3+ ions was determined by using Job's plot and found to be 1:1. The receptor 1-Fe3+ complex showed a reversible UV-vis response in the presence of EDTA.

Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Renal Clearable Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Optical imaging has been the primary imaging modality for nearly all of the renal clearable nanoparticles since 2007. Due to the tissue depth penetration limitation, providing accurate organ kinetics non-invasively has long been a huge challenge. Although a more quantitative imaging technique has been developed by labeling nanoparticles with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) isotopes, the low temporal resolution of SPECT still limits its potential for visualizing the rapid dynamic process of renal clearable nanoparticles in vivo. The dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of renal clearable gold (Au) nanoparticles by labeling them with copper-64 ((64) Cu) to form (64) Cu-NOTA-Au-GSH is reported. Systematic nanoparticle synthesis and characterizations are performed to demonstrate the efficient renal clearance of as-prepared nanoparticles. A rapid renal clearance of (64) Cu-NOTA-Au-GSH is observed (>75%ID at 24 h post-injection) with its elimination half-life calculated to be less than 6 min, over 130 times shorter than previously reported similar nanoparticles. Dynamic PET imaging not only addresses the current challenges in accurately and non-invasively acquiring the organ kinetics, but also potentially provides a highly useful tool for studying renal clearance mechanism of other ultra-small nanoparticles, as well as the diagnosis of kidney diseases in the near future.

Dynamic thermal emission control with InAs-based plasmonic metasurfaces.

Project description:Thermal emission from objects tends to be spectrally broadband, unpolarized, and temporally invariant. These common notions are now challenged with the emergence of new nanophotonic structures and concepts that afford on-demand, active manipulation of the thermal emission process. This opens a myriad of new applications in chemistry, health care, thermal management, imaging, sensing, and spectroscopy. Here, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a new approach to actively tailor thermal emission with a reflective, plasmonic metasurface in which the active material and reflector element are epitaxially grown, high-carrier-mobility InAs layers. Electrical gating induces changes in the charge carrier density of the active InAs layer that are translated into large changes in the optical absorption and thermal emission from metasurface. We demonstrate polarization-dependent and electrically controlled emissivity changes of 3.6%P (6.5% in relative scale) in the mid-infrared spectral range.

Enhanced magnetic Purcell effect in room-temperature masers.

Project description:Recently, the world's first room-temperature maser was demonstrated. The maser consisted of a sapphire ring housing a crystal of pentacene-doped p-terphenyl, pumped by a pulsed rhodamine-dye laser. Stimulated emission of microwaves was aided by the high quality factor and small magnetic mode volume of the maser cavity yet the peak optical pumping power was 1.4 kW. Here we report dramatic miniaturization and 2 orders of magnitude reduction in optical pumping power for a room-temperature maser by coupling a strontium titanate resonator with the spin-polarized population inversion provided by triplet states in an optically excited pentacene-doped p-terphenyl crystal. We observe maser emission in a thimble-sized resonator using a xenon flash lamp as an optical pump source with peak optical power of 70 W. This is a significant step towards the goal of continuous maser operation.

Role of Yb(3+) ions on enhanced ~2.9??m emission from Ho(3+) ions in low phonon oxide glass system.

Project description:The foremost limitation of an oxide based crystal or glass host to demonstrate mid- infrared emissions is its high phonon energy. It is very difficult to obtain radiative mid-infrared emissions from these hosts which normally relax non-radiatively between closely spaced energy levels of dopant rare earth ions. In this study, an intense mid-infrared emission around 2.9??m has been perceived from Ho(3+) ions in Yb(3+)/Ho(3+) co-doped oxide based tellurite glass system. This emission intensity has increased many folds upon Yb(3+): 985?nm excitation compared to direct Ho(3+) excitations due to efficient excited state resonant energy transfer through Yb(3+): (2)F5/2???Ho(3+): (5)I5 levels. The effective bandwidth (FWHM) and cross-section (?em) of measured emission at 2.9??m are assessed to be 180?nm and 9.1?×?10(-21)?cm(2) respectively which are comparable to other crystal/glass hosts and even better than ZBLAN fluoride glass host. Hence, this Ho(3+)/Yb(3+) co-doped oxide glass system has immense potential for the development of solid state mid-infrared laser sources operating at 2.9??m region.

Iodide ions control seed-mediated growth of anisotropic gold nanoparticles.

Project description:There are now a variety of preparatory procedures for nanoscale gold rods, triangular prisms, and spheres. Many of these methods rely on seed-mediated approaches with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) as a surfactant. Interestingly, seemingly similar preparatory procedures yield very different morphologies, and although there have been a variety of proposals regarding the importance of different steps in shape control, there is no self-consistent procedure that allows one to take one batch of spherical seeds and grow either rods, prisms, or larger polyhedra in a controlled manner. In this report, it is shown that CTABr, depending upon supplier, has an iodide contaminant (at a significant but varying level), which acts as a key shape-directing element because it can strongly and selectively bind to the Au (111) facet and favor the formation of anisotropic structures. Furthermore, by starting with pure CTABr and deliberately adjusting iodide concentration, one can reproducibly drive the reaction to predominantly produce one of the three target morphologies.

Dynamically controlled Purcell enhancement of visible spontaneous emission in a gated plasmonic heterostructure.

Project description:Emission control of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) is a cornerstone of modern high-quality lighting and display technologies. Dynamic emission control of colloidal QDs in an optoelectronic device is usually achieved by changing the optical pump intensity or injection current density. Here we propose and demonstrate a distinctly different mechanism for the temporal modulation of QD emission intensity at constant optical pumping rate. Our mechanism is based on the electrically controlled modulation of the local density of optical states (LDOS) at the position of the QDs, resulting in the modulation of the QD spontaneous emission rate, far-field emission intensity, and quantum yield. We manipulate the LDOS via field effect-induced optical permittivity modulation of an ultrathin titanium nitride (TiN) film, which is incorporated in a gated TiN/SiO2/Ag plasmonic heterostructure. The demonstrated electrical control of the colloidal QD emission provides a new approach for modulating intensity of light in displays and other optoelectronics.

Planar Double-Epsilon-Near-Zero Cavities for Spontaneous Emission and Purcell Effect Enhancement.

Project description:The enhancement of the photophysical response of fluorophores is a crucial factor for photonic and optoelectronic technologies that involve fluorophores as gain media. Recent advances in the development of an extreme light propagation regime, called epsilon-near-zero (ENZ), provide a promising approach in this respect. In this work, we design metal/dielectric nanocavities to be resonant with the absorption and emission bands of the employed fluorophores. Using CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystal films as light emitters, we study the spontaneous emission and decay rate enhancement induced by a specifically tailored double-epsilon-near-zero (double ENZ) structure. We experimentally demonstrate the existence of two ENZ wavelengths, by directly measuring their dielectric permittivity via ellipsometric analysis. The double ENZ nature of this plasmonic nanocavity has been exploited to achieve both surface plasmon enhanced absorption (SPEA) and surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE), inducing a significant enhancement of both the spontaneous emission and the decay rate of the perovskite nanocrystal film that is placed on top of the nanocavity. Finally, we discuss the possibility of tailoring the two ENZ wavelengths of this structure within the visible spectrum simply by finely designing the thickness of the two dielectric layers, which enables resonance matching with a broad variety of dyes. Our device design is appealing for many practical applications, ranging from sensing to low threshold amplified spontaneous emission, since we achieve a strong PL enhancement with structures that allow for straightforward fluorophore deposition on a planar surface that keeps the fluorophores exposed and accessible.

Purcell Effect and Beaming of Emission in Hybrid AlGaAs Nanowires with GaAs Quantum Dots.

Project description:Control of directionality of emissions is an important task for the realization of novel nanophotonic devices based on nanowires. Most of the existing approaches providing high directionality of the light emitted from nanowires are based on the utilization of the tapered shape of nanowires, serving as nanoantenna coupling with the light waveguided in nanowire and the directional output beam. Here we report the beaming of the emitted light with wavelength near 800 nm by naturally formed core-shell AlGaAs NW with multiply GaAs quantum dots (QDs) diameter 30 nm and height 10 nm, while the diameter of NW 130 nm, what does not support efficient emission into waveguided modes, including the mode HE11. Experimental measurements show that intensity of emission for directions in the vicinity of the axis of NW is about two orders of magnitude higher than for perpendicular directions. The developed theoretical approach allowed us to calculate the probability of spontaneous emission for various directions and into waveguided modes and showed that highly directional radiation can be provided by the intrinsic emission properties of cylindrical NW. Our results suggest that for the small diameter of NW, directional emissions are associated with an TM0 leaky mode (when electric field oriented in axial direction) and therefore manifests in an existence of axial electric dipole transitions in quantum dots.
