Increased negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers in fluorinated diamond

Journal Article

We present a design of plasmonic cavities that consists of two sets of 1-D plasmonic crystal reflectors on a plasmonic trench waveguide. A 'reverse image mold' (RIM) technique was developed to pattern high-resolution silver trenches and to embed emitters...

Controlled mode tuning in 1-D 'RIM' plasmonic crystal trench cavities probed with coupled optical emitters

Journal Article

Two-dimensional hybrid photonic/plasmonic crystal cavities

Journal Article

We present a 2-D plasmonic crystal design with visible band-gap by combining a 2-D photonic crystal with TM band-gap and a silver surface. Simulations show that the presence of the silver surface gives rise to an expanded band-gap. A plasmonic crystal...

High quality SiC microdisk resonators fabricated from monolithic epilayer wafers

Journal Article

The exquisite mechanical properties of SiC have made it an important industrial material with applications in microelectromechanical devices and high power electronics. Recently, the optical properties of SiC have garnered attention for applications in...

Synthesis of luminescent europium defects in diamond

Journal Article

Lanthanides are vital components in lighting, imaging technologies and future quantum memory applications owing to their narrow optical transitions and long spin coherence times. Recently, diamond has become a pre-eminent platform for the realisation of...

Constrained, aqueous growth of three-dimensional single crystalline zinc oxide structures

Journal Article

We study low temperature (90 °C) aqueous growth of single crystal zinc oxide structures through patterned PMMA molds of different sizes, shapes, and orientations. We demonstrate the ability to create 3D shapes with smooth vertical sidewalls. Although the...

The structure–function relationships of a natural nanoscale photonic device in cuttlefish chromatophores

Journal Article

Cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, possess neurally controlled, pigmented chromatophore organs that allow rapid changes in skin patterning and coloration in response to visual cues. This process of adaptive coloration is enabled by the 500% change in...

Silicon-Vacancy Color Centers in Nanodiamonds: Cathodoluminescence Imaging Markers in the Near Infrared

Journal Article

Nanodiamonds doped with silicon-vacancy (Si-V) color centers are shown to be a promising candidate for cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging at the nanoscale, providing bright, non-bleaching, narrow-linewidth emission at wavelengths within the near-IR window...
