Coupling single quantum emitters such as atoms and quantum dots (QDs) to structured photonic reservoir structures is usually assumed to depend on the local density of photon states (LDOS). However, in nanophotonic cavity structures, there is a much richer coupling that can take place - in particular, by controlling the anisotropic vacuum. Photonic crystal waveguides, for example, are periodic...

The potential applications of metallic nanoparticles, such as gold nanorods (GNRs), in sensing are very promising due to their unique optical properties. More specifically, Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is an area of sensing which has been able to utilize the unique properties of metallic nanoparticles as a substrate for Raman signal enhancement. The Photonics Research Group at...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

The on-demand generation of bright entangled photon pairs is highly needed in quantum optics experiments and emerging quantum technologies. However, a quantum light source combining both high fidelity and on-demand bright emission has proven elusive with current leading photon technologies. In this work we present a new bright nanoscale source of strongly entangled photon pairs generated with...
