Abstract
Integrating solid-state quantum emitters with nanophotonic resonators is essential for efficient spin-photon interfacing and optical networking applications. While diamond color centers have proven to be excellent candidates for emerging quantum technologies, their integration with optical resonators remains challenging. Conventional approaches based on etching resonators into diamond often negatively impact color center performance and offer low device yield. Here, we developed an integrated photonics platform based on templated atomic layer deposition of TiO2 on diamond membranes. Our fabrication method yields high-performance nanophotonic devices while avoiding etching wavelength-scale features into diamond. Moreover, this technique generates highly reproducible optical resonances and can be iterated on individual diamond samples, a unique processing advantage. Our approach is suitable for a broad range of both wavelengths and substrates and can enable high-cooperativity interfacing between cavity photons and coherent defects in diamond or silicon carbide, rare earth ions, or other material systems.
