Performance of the nanopost single-photon source: beyond the single-mode model
arXiv:2301.02556 · doi:10.1039/d2nr07132k
Abstract
We present a detailed analysis of the physics governing the collection efficiency and the Purcell enhancement of the nanopost single-photon source. We show that a standard single-mode Fabry-Pérot model is insufficient to describe the device performance, which benefits significantly from scattering from the fundamental mode to radiation modes. We show how the scattering mechanism decouples the collection efficiency from the Purcell enhancement, such that maximum collection efficiency is obtained off-resonance. Finally, we discuss how this scattering mechanism can be beneficial for future single-photon source designs.
