Coupling of Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers to Photonic Crystal Cavities in Monocrystalline Diamond
The zero-phonon transition rate of a nitrogen-vacancy center is enhanced by a
factor of ~70 by coupling to a photonic crystal resonator fabricated in
monocrystalline diamond using standard semiconductor fabrication techniques.
Photon correlation measurements on the spectrally filtered zero-phonon line
show antibunching, a signature that the collected photoluminescence is emitted
primarily by a single nitrogen-vacancy center. The linewidth of the coupled
nitrogen-vacancy center and the spectral diffusion are characterized using
high-resolution photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation
spectroscopy
