Abstract
Diamond-based photonic devices offer exceptional opportunity to study cavity QED at room temperature. Here we report fabrication and optical characterization of high quality photonic crystal (PC) microcavities based on nanocrystalline diamond. Fundamental modes near the emission wavelength of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) centers (637 nm) with quality factors (Qs) as high as 585 were observed. Three-dimensional Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations were carried out and had excellent agreement with experimental results in the values of the mode frequencies. Polarization measurements of the modes were characterized; their anomalous behavior provides important insights to scattering loss in these structures.
