Efficient broadband antenna for a quantum emitter working at telecommunication wavelengths

Abstract

Single photons are resources needed for developing quantum networks QN. They distribute quantum information services across commercial optical fiber links and are key ingredient in developing quantum repeaters architectures. Currently, the most robust quantum light sources are Quantum Dots made of III-V materials. They emit highly indistinguishable photons on-demand and with high efficiency. Established devices work at near-infrared wavelengths (NIR) and further research is needed to develop devices working in telecommunication wavelengths O- and S-bands. In this contribution, we propose and model a broadband optical antenna working in O-band. It exhibits high extraction efficiencies with small Purcell enhancement around 2. We also examine far field emission from these structures, ensuring Gaussian mode profile is observed.
