The realization of integrated quantum photonic circuits is crucial for scalable quantum computing and information processing applications. One of the milestones is the realization of highly-efficient coupling of pre-determined single-photon sources into the on-chip environment. Along with solid-state quantum sources, like quantum dots and defects in solids, quantum defects in 2D materials have attracted significant interest due to their quantum emission properties and stability. We have developed an adjoint-topology optimization framework to improve the coupling efficiency of color centers in hBN to the silicon nitride platform. We have demonstrated more than 75% coupling efficiency with a topology optimized coupler.

Great efforts have been made to explore the Fano resonances in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) coupled with plasmonic nanostructures in the visible region. However, the intrinsic losses of metallic materials and the TMD exciton linewidths of at least tens of meV at room temperature (RT) inevitably limit the achievable Q factor of the Fano resonance. Herein, we integrate a monolayer WS2 with single hydrogenated amorphous silicon nanospheres (SiNSs) in water. Pronounced asymmetric Fano resonances with a Q factor up to 104 at the A exciton frequency (2.0 eV) are observed at RT. Fano fitting and modified coupled-mode theory both suggest a decreased A exciton linewidth of ~10 meV as compared to the reported value (~60 meV). This is attributed to the enhanced decay of trion in WS2. Moreover, directional Fano coupling can be achieved by exciting the hybrid from the SiNS or WS2 side, providing more possibilities in device implementation.

We present phonic funnels, a novel material platform, that enables a smooth optical link between the diffraction-limited and deep subwavelength areas. Photonic funnels comprise conical structures with hyperbolic cores that enable highly confined propagation of light and perfectly conducting walls that isolate the core of the funnel from the surroundings. We demonstrate realization of the funnels with semiconductor metamaterial platform, with minimum diameter of the opening of the order of 1/30-th of free space wavelength and characterize propagation of light through the funnels experimentally and theoretically. We also analyze funnel-induced modulation of emission.

We present an alternative approach to dielectric meta-surfaces and demonstrate its scalability, mechanical durability and laser damage resilience. The process is based on laser raster-scan of a thin metal film on a glass, followed by dry-etching and removal of the metal nano-particles mask. We will present new approaches developed to “boost” the attainable optical response based on new underlying physics of the laser printed Au nanoparticle mask.

Time dependent systems do not in general conserve energy invalidating much of the theory developed for static systems and turning our intuition on its head. This is particularly acute in luminal space time crystals where the structure moves at or close to the velocity of light. Conventional Bloch wave theory no longer applies, energy grows exponentially with time, and a new perspective is required to understand the phenomenology. In this letter we identify a new mechanism for amplification: the compression of lines of force that are nevertheless conserved in number.

Efficient light manipulation at subwavelength scales in the mid-infrared (MIR) region is essential for various applications and can be harnessed from intrinsic low-loss dielectric resonators. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of truncated spherical selenium (Se) resonators with tunable high-quality (Q) factor Mie resonances. Large area amorphous Se subwavelength resonators of varying sizes were grown on different substrates, using a novel CVD process. We demonstrate size-tunable Mie resonances spanning the 2-16 µm range, for single isolated resonators and large area ensembles, respectively. We show strong tunable absorption resonances (90%) in ensembles of resonators in a significantly broad MIR range. Moreover, by coupling resonators to epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) substrates, we engineer high-Q resonances as high as Q=40. These findings open up new possibilities in meta-atom paints, anti-reflective coatings, detection technology, and large area metasurface fabrications.

In the last decade a host of seminal experimental results have demonstrated that properties and dynamics of molecules and solids can be modified and controlled by coupling strongly to the electromagentic field of a photonic environment, e.g. an optical cavity. For a detailed understanding of such changes it becomes necessary to use first-principles approaches to strong light-matter interactions. In this talk I will discuss the fundamental setting for such ab-initio methods, the Pauli-Fierz quantum field theory in Coulomb gauge, introduce quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory as an efficient and accurate simulation technique and highlight novel effects that become accessible. Among others I demonstrate how conduction and absorption properties are modified, how collective strong coupling can induce strong local modifications and how bound states in the continuum appear.
