Abstract
Color centers in diamond represent a promising platform for developing solid-state single-photon sources and spin-photon interfaces as building blocks for photonics-based quantum technologies. However, although they exhibit a combination of features that make them so attractive, they also suffer from limited control in their emission properties, such as brightness, directionality, and polarization to cite a few. In this paper we present implementations and the experimental investigation of planar Yagi-Uda antennas in diamond, demonstrating highly efficient light extraction and directional emission from silicon-vacancy color centers created in thin diamond membranes.
