Abstract:
This study investigates nanobeam cavities on a GaAs-on-insulator (GaAsOI) chip with InAs quantum dots (QDs), including design, fabrication, and experimental characterization. The nanobeam cavities are optimized for high photon coupling efficiency and pronounced light-matter interaction. Numerical studies yield Q factors up to about 1400, a coupling efficiency of nearly 70 % and a maximum Purcell factor of approximately 100. Experimentally, these devices have a Q factor of about 1300, and comparing the lifetime of QDs in on-resonance and off-resonance conditions, a Purcell factor of 10.46 ± 0.14 is obtained. Moreover, in the single-emitter regime, we observe strong multiphoton suppression with g ( 2 ) ( 0 ) = 0.297 . Our results demonstrate the high potential of nanobeam cavities on a GaAsOI platform for quantum photonic applications.
