Dynamical control of light-matter interaction through coherent multipolar scattering in broken symmetry metasurfaces

Mohammed Ashahar Ahamad, Faraz Ahmed Inam

Achieving control over spontaneous emission by tailoring light-matter interactions is a key objective in quantum nanophotonics. Metasurfaces composed of high-refractive-index reson…

Integration of -emitters in silicon-on-insulator nanodisks metasurface

Joshua Bader, Hamed Arianfard, Vincenzo Ciavolino +2

Erbium () emitters are relevant for optical applications due to their narrow emission line directly in the telecom C-band due to the ${}^\text{4}\text{I}_{\text{13/…

Mie-scattering controlled all-dielectric resonator-antenna for bright and directional point dipole emission

Mohammed Ashahar Ahamad, Sughra Shaikh, Faraz Ahmed Inam

Designing a deterministic, bright, robust, room temperature stable, on-demand solid-state single photon source has been a major demand in the field of quantum-photonics. For this,…

Silicon Carbide Metasurfaces for Controlling the Spontaneous Emission of Embedded Color Centers

Mohammed Ashahar Ahamad, Faraz Ahmed Inam, Stefania Castelletto

While electric and magnetic dipolar resonances in SiC have been studied in the far-infrared, they have not been studied in the near infrared. Here we show for the first time that e…

Deterministic single photon source enabled by coherent superposition of Mie-scattering moments in a NV- center coupled dipolar antenna

Faraz A. Inam, Rajesh V. Nair

Generation of an ultra-bright, deterministic, solid-state single photon source with high photon collection rate is an imperative requirement for quantum technologies. In this direc…

Kerker condition for enhancing emission rate and directivity of single emitter coupled to dielectric metasurfaces

Megha Khokhar, Faraz A Inam, Rajesh V Nair

Metasurfaces have the ability to control classical and non-classical states of light to achieve controlled emission even at the level of single emitter. Here, we unveil the Kerker…

Hyperbolic Metamaterial Resonator-Antenna Scheme for Large, Broadband Emission Enhancement and Single Photon Collection

F. A. Inam, N. Ahmed, M. J. Steel +1

We model the broadband enhancement of single-photon emission from color centres in silicon carbide nanocrystals coupled to a planar hyperbolic metamaterial, HMM resonator. The desi…

Tracking Emission Rate Dynamics of NV Centers in Nanodiamonds

Faraz A Inam, Andrew M Edmonds, Michael J Steel +1

Spontaneous emission from crystal centers is influenced by both the photonic local density of states and non-radiative processes. Here we monitor the spontaneous emission of single…
