High-directivity far-field radiation of quantum dot-based single-photon emitter coupled to polymeric circular waveguide resonant grating

Résumé

Abstract Solid-state single-photon emitters (SPEs) commonly encounter the limitation of quasi-omnidirectional radiation patterns, which poses challenges in utilizing their emission with conventional optical instruments. In this study, we demonstrate the tailoring of the far-field radiation patterns of SPEs based on colloidal quantum dots (QDs), both theoretically and experimentally, by employing a polymer-based dielectric antenna. We introduce a simple and cost-effective technique, namely low one-photon absorption direct laser writing, to achieve precise coupling of a QD into an all-polymer circular waveguide resonance grating. By optimizing the geometry parameters of the structure using 3D finite-difference time-domain simulations, resonance at the emission wavelength of QDs is achieved in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, resulting in photon streams with remarkably high directivity on both sides of the grating. Theoretical calculations predict beam divergence values below 2°, while experimental measurements using back focal plane imaging yield divergence angles of approximately 8°. Our study contributes to the evaluation of concentric circular grating structures employing low refractive index polymer materials, thereby expanding the possibilities for their application.
