Design of an ultrahigh Quality factor silicon nitride photonic crystal nanocavity for coupling to diamond nanocrystals

Murray W. McCutcheon, Marko Loncar

A photonic crystal nanocavity with a Quality (Q) factor of 2.3 x 10^5, a mode volume of 0.55($\lambda /n$)^3, and an operating wavelength of 637 nm is designed in a silicon nitride (SiN_x…
