“…For a review of nanomanipulation-facilitated hybrid nanophotonic structures see [181]. Single-photon emission from intrinsic [182] and doped [183] carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has led to efforts in constructing scalable hybrid photonic circuits. Large-scale deterministic placement of CNTs by dielectrophoresis [184] was recently utilized to construct integrated QPICs featuring on-chip generation, guiding and detection of single photons [185].…”

On-chip integration of quantum optical systems could be a major factor enabling photonic quantum technologies. Unlike the case of electronics, where the essential device is a transistor and the dominant material is silicon, the toolbox of elementary devices required for both classical and quantum photonic integrated circuits is vast. Therefore, many material platforms are being examined to host the future quantum photonic computers and network nodes. We discuss the pros and cons of several platforms for realizing various elementary devices, compare the current degrees of integration achieved in each platform and review several composite platform approaches.

“…For comparison, we also simulate the properties of the SPP waveguide modes when the silver nanowire is placed on a glass substrate (refractive index n glass = 1.5), and the simulation results are displayed in Figure b. Herein, the wavelength is set to be λ = 1310 nm . It should be stressed that the choice of this particular wavelength is arbitrary, and that the structural geometry can always be tuned to match the desired resonant wavelength in the nanoslit.…”

By designing a plasmonic waveguide–slit structure (a nanoslit etched in a silver nanowire) on a silver substrate, an ultrahigh Purcell factor and ultralarge figure of merit (FOM) are numerically predicted. Because of the large field enhancement (>150 times the incident field) and the ultrasmall optical volume (V ≈ 2 × 10−5λ3) of the resonant mode in the metallic nanoslit, the simulations show that the Purcell factor in the system can reach up to FP = 1.68 × 105, which is more than ten times the maximum Purcell factor in previous work (by placing metallic nanoparticles on a metal surface with a nanogap). Because of the utilization of a silver substrate rather than the common dielectric substrate, the mode cutoff of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguide mode is completely eliminated, which provides a large selection range of the nanowire radii to support the resonant mode in the nanoslit. Moreover, the SPP propagation length is significantly increased by more than 30 times. As a result, an ultralarge FOM of 1.40 × 107 is obtained, which is more than 80 times the maximum FOM in previous work where the metallic nanowire is placed on or surrounded by dielectric materials.

“…26 Their utility has already been demonstrated as high conductivity channels for field effect transistors, 27-28 photoabsorbers in solar cells, [29][30][31][32] and NIR light emitters. [33][34] For all of these applications, semiconducting carbon nanotubes are required, which must be purified from their metallic counterparts. There are several methods for doing so, each of which creates different types of films.…”

Polarization-Controlled Two-Dimensional White-Light Spectroscopy of Semiconducting Carbon Nanotube Thin Films

Polarized two-dimensional white-light (2D-WL) spectra are reported for thin films of semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The orientational responses for 4-point correlation functions are derived for samples that are isotropic in two dimensions. Spectra measured using <-45°,+45°,0°,90°> polarizations eliminate the diagonal peaks in the spectra arising from S1 transitions to uncover cross peaks to a weaker transition that is assigned to radial breathing modes. In nanotubes purified by unwrapping PFO-BPY polymer using metal chelation, an absorption at 1160 nm is observed that is assigned to hole doping that forms trions. The trion peak may have a transition dipole non-parallel to the S1 transitions, and so its cross peak is prominent in polarized 2D WL spectra. Energy transfer of photoexcitons to the trion peak occurs within 1 ps. Identifying and understanding the effects of purification on the electronic structure of thin films of semiconducting carbon nanotubes is important for learning how the inherent photophysics of individual carbon nanotubes translates to coupled nanotube thin film materials.
