Resonant Quantum Device Technologies
Abstract
From 2005-2006 success was made in incorporating the nanocrystal into Polymethl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix. The sensitivity of this composite to electron beams makes it attractive in the fabrication of photonic devices. From 2004-2005, numerical simulations were made for experimentally plausible system parameters for the network sending a single photon wavepacket and for entanglement between two nodes. The team continued optimizing the properties of the quantum dot composites and succeeded to make the nanocomposites in both PMMA and SU-8 hosts with high level of uniformity. A near field optical characterization tool for nanophotonic devices was developed. A study was started on excitation of ultrashort pulse surface plasmon polariton (SPP) fields as well as an investigation of ultrafast electrodynamics of the ultrashort SPP wavepackets. From 2003-2004 the team completed a theoretical study on nonlinear phase shift in the system with a quantum dot embedded in a two-sided cavity from the weak-coupling regime to the strong coupling regime. Additionally, the team developed an approach to manufacture photonic crystal-based on a two-step process consisting of holographic lithography patterning to define the photonic crystal lattice followed by optical direct-write of the functional elements.
