Design and applications of single-photon devices based on waveguides coupled to quantum emitters
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-28)Engineering photon-photon interactions is fundamentally challenging because photons in vacuum do not interact with each other. While their interactions can be mediated using optical nonlinearities, these effects are ... -
Design, Simulation and Fabrication of Photonic Crystal Slab Waveguide Based Polarization Processors
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)The Photonic Crystal (PC) is a potential candidate for a compact optical integrated circuit on a solid state platform. The fabrication process of a PC is compatible with CMOS technology; thus, it could be potentially ... -
Nanometer Probing of Operating Nano-Photonic Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-25)The external performance of quantum optoelectronic devices is governed by the three-dimensional profiles of electric potentials determined by the distribution of charge carriers (electrons and holes) within the active ... -
Next-Generation Solid-State Quantum Emitters
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-31)This thesis details two types of deterministic solid-state quantum emitters, an optically-driven quantum dot source in a tapered nanowire waveguide, and an electrically-driven source implemented by integrating a single-electron ...
