　概要を見る

We will discuss possible applications of topological photonics to photonic integrated circuit technologies. We design nanophotonic elements based on topological edge states emerging at the exteriors of bulk structures and apply them to compact semiconductor lasers and waveguides. Such topological photonic devices are known to be immune to fabrication imperfections and therefore are suitable for building robust optical circuitry. We also address the idea of topological high-power lasers that take advantage of topological edge states for robust single mode lasing.

We will discuss the hybrid integration of micro/nanoscale light sources on silicon photonics circuits with transfer printing, which is based on pick-and-place assembly using a viscoelastic stamp. Various light sources including quantum-dot single-photon sources are readily and flexibly integrated on silicon with high positioning accuracy.

We demonstrated the fabrication of silicon valley photonic crystal structures with triangular air holes by using photolithography for the first time. The mask patterns we newly designed enable the formation of triangular air holes with reasonably high accuracy. This is an important step toward CMOS-compatible topological nanophotonics.

Topological photonics has emerged as a novel route to engineer the flow of
light. Topologically-protected photonic edge modes, which are supported at the
perimeters of topologically-nontrivial insulating bulk structures, have been of
particular interest as they may enable low-loss optical waveguides immune to
structural disorder. Very recently, there is a sharp rise of interest in
introducing gain materials into such topological photonic structures, primarily
aiming at revolu-tionizing semiconductor lasers with the aid of physical
mechanisms existing in topological physics. Examples of re-markable
realizations are topological lasers with unidirectional light output under
time-reversal symmetry breaking and topologically-protected polariton and
micro/nano-cavity lasers. Moreover, the introduction of gain and loss provides
a fascinating playground to explore novel topological phases, which are in
close relevance to non-Hermitian and parity-time symmetric quantum physics and
are in general difficult to access using fermionic condensed matter systems.
Here, we review the cutting-edge research on active topological photonics, in
which optical gain plays a pivotal role. We discuss recent realizations of
topological lasers of various kinds, together with the underlying physics
explaining the emergence of topological edge modes. In such demonstrations, the
optical modes of the topological lasers are deter-mined by the dielectric
structures and support lasing oscillation with the help of optical gain. We
also address recent researches on topological photonic systems in which gain
and loss themselves essentially influence on topological prop-erties of the
bulk systems. We believe that active topological photonics provides powerful
means to advance mi-cro/nanophotonics systems for diverse applications and
topological physics itself as well.

Photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavities with high quality (Q) factors have
attracted much attention because of their strong spatial and temporal light
confinement capability. The resulting enhanced light-matter interactions are
beneficial for diverse photonic applications, ranging from on-chip optical
communications to sensing. However, currently achievable Q factors for active
PhC nanocavities, which embed active emitters inside, are much lower than those
of the passive structures because of large optical loss, presumably originating
from light scattering by structural imperfections and/or optical absorptions.
Here, we demonstrate a significant improvement of Q factors up to ~160,000 in
GaAs active PhC nanocavities using a sulfur-based surface passivation
technique. This value is the highest ever reported for any active PhC
nanocavities with semiconductor quantum dots. The surface-passivated cavities
also exhibit reduced variation in both Q factors and cavity resonant
wavelengths. We find that the improvement in the cavity performance presumably
arises from suppressed light absorption at the surface of the PhC's host
material by performing a set of PL measurements in spectral and time domains.
With the surface passivation technique, we also demonstrate a strongly-coupled
single quantum dot-cavity system based on a PhC nanocavity with a high Q factor
of ~100,000. These results will pave the way for advanced quantum dot-based
cavity quantum electrodynamics and for GaAs micro/nanophotonic applications
containing active emitters.

We demonstrate strong coupling between a single quantum dot (QD) and a GaAs-based L4/3-type photonic crystal nanocavity. The L4/3 cavity supports a high theoretical Q factor (∼8 106), a small mode volume [∼0.32 (λ/n)3], and an electric field distribution with the maximum electric field lying within the host dielectric material, which facilitates strong coupling with a QD. We fabricated L4/3 cavities and observed a high Q factor over 80 000 using photoluminescence measurement. We confirmed strong coupling between a single QD and an L4/3 cavity with a Q factor of 33 000 by observing a clear anti-crossing in the spectra.

Silicon quantum photonics provides a promising pathway to realize large-scale
quantum photonic integrated circuits (QPICs) by exploiting the power of
complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Toward scalable
operation of such silicon-based QPICs, a straightforward approach is to
integrate deterministic single-photon sources (SPSs). To this end, hybrid
integration of deterministic solid-state SPSs, such as those based on InAs/GaAs
quantum dots (QDs), is highly promising. However, the spectral and spatial
randomness inherent in the QDs pose a serious challenge for scalable
implementation of multiple identical SPSs on a silicon CMOS chip. To overcome
this challenge, we have been investigating a new hybrid integration technique
called transfer printing, which is based on a pick-and-place operation and
allows for the integration of desired QD SPSs on any locations on the silicon
CMOS chips at will. Nevertheless, even in this scenario, in-situ fine tuning
for perfect wavelength matching among the integrated QD SPSs will be required
for interfering photons from the dissimilar sources. Here, we demonstrate
in-situ wavelength tuning of QD SPSs integrated on a CMOS silicon chip. To
thermally tune the emission wavelengths of the integrated QDs, we augmented the
QD SPSs with optically driven heating pads. The integration of all the
necessary elements was performed using transfer printing, which largely
simplified the fabrication of the three-dimensional stack of micro/nanophotonic
structures. We further demonstrate in-situ wavelength matching between two
dissimilar QD sources integrated on the same silicon chip. Our
transfer-printing-based approach will open the possibility for realizing
large-scale QPICs that leverage CMOS technology.
