Remote macroscopic entanglement on a photonic crystal architecture

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac, Momchil Minkov

The outstanding progress in nanostructure fabrication and cooling technologies allows what was unthinkable a few decades ago: bringing single-mode mechanical vibrations to the quantum regime. The coupling between photon and phonon excitations is a natural ...

Optimizing doubly-resonant photonic crystal cavity modes for second harmonic generation

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

We optimize a photonic crystal slab for the generation of second harmonic. The optimization consists in two steps. In the first step a regular photonic crystal, consisting in a triangular lattice of circular holes in a dielectric slab, is optimized by allo ...

Global Optimization of Ultrahigh-Q H0 Photonic Crystal Nanocavity in Silicon

Vincenzo Savona, Romuald Houdré, Momchil Minkov, Ulagalandha Perumal Dharanipathy, Mario Lucien Henri Tonin

The design of photonic crystal cavities has always presented a considerable challenge over the past two decades. In this work, a global optimization technique has been used to maximize the Q/V ratio of a simple H0 type nanocavity. The optimization is carri ...

Gallium nitride L3 photonic crystal cavities with an average quality factor of 16 900 in the near infrared

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Vincenzo Savona, Raphaël Butté, Matteo Galli, Momchil Minkov, Noelia Vico Triviño

Photonic crystal point-defect cavities were fabricated in a GaN free-standing photonic crystal slab. The cavities are based on the popular L3 design, which was optimized using an automated process based on a genetic algorithm, in order to maximize the qual ...

Automated optimization of photonic crystal slab cavities

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

Thanks to their high quality factor, combined to the smallest modal volume, defect-cavities in photonic crystal slabs represent a promising, versatile tool for fundamental studies and applications in photonics. In paricular, the L3, H0, and H1 defects are ...

High-Q silicon photonic crystal cavity for enhanced optical nonlinearities

Romuald Houdré, Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov, Ulagalandha Perumal Dharanipathy, Mario Lucien Henri Tonin

We fabricate and experimentally characterize an H0 photonic crystal slab nanocavity with a design optimized for maximal quality factor, Q = 1.7 x 10(6). The cavity, fabricated from a silicon slab, has a resonant mode at lambda = 1.59 mu m and a measured Q- ...

Genetically designed L3 photonic crystal nanocavities with measured quality factor exceeding one million

Vincenzo Savona, Matteo Galli, Momchil Minkov

We report on the experimental realization of ultra-high quality factor (Q) designs of the L3-type photonic crystal nanocavity. Based on genetic optimization of the positions of few nearby holes, our design drastically improves the performance of the conven ...

Long-distance radiative excitation transfer between quantum dots in disordered photonic crystal waveguides

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

We theoretically investigate the magnitude and range of the photon-mediated interaction between two quantum dots embedded in a photonic crystal waveguide, including fabrication disorder both in the crystal and in the dot positioning. We find that disorder- ...

Statistics of the disorder-induced losses of high-Q photonic crystal cavities

Vincenzo Savona, Romuald Houdré, Momchil Minkov, Ulagalandha Perumal Dharanipathy

We analyze and compare the effect of fabrication disorder on the quality factor of six well-known high-index photonic crystal cavity designs. The theoretical quality factors for the different nominal structures span more than three orders of magnitude, ran ...
