Research

Nano-structures coupled to Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centres in diamond.
In my PhD research I successfully demonstrated the possibility of enhancing the coupling of NV centers in diamond to photonic crystal cavities and solid immersion lenses (SIL), fabricated in diamond by focussed ion beam (FIB) etching. I have recently described a technique for fabricating micro- and nano-structures incorporating uorescent defects in diamond with a positional accuracy in the tens of nanometers. Using confocal fluorescence microscopy and focused ion beam (FIB) etching I first located a suitable defect with respect to registration marks, previously etched on the diamond surface, and then etch a structure using these coordinates. The same technique could be also used to create different structures, coupled to optical active defects in diamond.
