Nanowire photonic crystal waveguides for single-atom trapping and strong light-matter interactions

Optics 2015-06-18 v1 Atomic Physics Quantum Physics

Abstract

We present a comprehensive study of dispersion-engineered nanowire photonic crystal waveguides suitable for experiments in quantum optics and atomic physics with optically trapped atoms. Detailed design methodology and specifications are provided, as are the processing steps used to create silicon nitride waveguides of low optical loss in the near-IR. Measurements of the waveguide optical properties and power-handling capability are also presented.
