Topologically Enabled Ultralarge Purcell Enhancement Robust to Photon Scattering
arXiv:1910.14222 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.023901
Abstract
Micro/nanoscale single photon source is a building block of on-chip quantum information devices. Owing to possessing ultrasmall optical mode volume, plasmon structures can provide large Purcell enhancement, however scattering and absorption are two barriers to prevent them from being used in practice. To overcome these barriers, we propose the topological photonic structure containing resonant plasmon nanoantenna, where nanoantenna provides large Purcell enhancement while topological photonic crystal guides all scattering light into its edge state. Through the optical mode design, the rate of single photons emitted into the edge state reaches more than 104γ0 simultaneously accompanied with an obvious reduction of absorption. This kind of nonscattering large Purcell enhancement will provide new sight for on-chip quantum light sources such as a single photon source and nanolaser.
