A scanning planar Yagi-Uda antenna for fluorescence detection
Navid Soltani, Elham Rabbany Esfahany, Sergey I. Druzhinin +8
An effective approach to improve the detection efficiency of nanoscale light sources relies on a planar antenna configuration, which beams the emitted light into a narrow cone. Pla…
Highly efficient light extraction and directional emission from diamond color centers using planar Yagi-Uda antennas
Hossam Galal, Assegid M. Flatae, Stefano Lagomarsino +8
Color centers in diamond represent a promising platform for developing solid-state single-photon sources and spin-photon interfaces as building blocks for photonics-based quantum t…
Beaming light from a quantum emitter with a planar optical antenna
Simona Checcucci, Pietro Lombardi, Sahrish Rizvi +7
The efficient interaction of light with quantum emitters is crucial to most applications in nano and quantum photonics, such as sensing or quantum information processing. Effective…
Coherent interaction of a metallic structure with a single quantum emitter: from super absorption to cloaking
Xue-Wen Chen, Vahid Sandoghdar, Mario Agio
We provide a general theoretical platform based on quantized radiation in absorptive and inhomogeneous media for investigating the coherent interaction of light with metallic struc…
Metallo-dielectric hybrid antennas for ultrastrong enhancement of spontaneous emission
Xue-Wen Chen, Mario Agio, Vahid Sandoghdar
We devise new optical antennas that reduce the excited-state radiative lifetimes of emitters to the order of 100 femtoseconds while maintaining quantum efficiencies of about 80% at…
Optical antennas as nanoscale resonators
Mario Agio
Recent progress in nanotechnology has enabled us to fabricate subwavelength architectures that function as antennas for improving the exchange of optical energy with nanoscale matt…
