Abstract

Hybrid integration of InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) single-photon sources (SPSs) is a promising approach for introducing quantum light into SiN photonic integrated circuits. However, the large refractive-index mismatch between GaAs and SiN poses a challenge for efficient optical coupling. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate hybrid integration of an InAs/GaAs QD-SPS on SiN using a coupled crossover waveguide structure. A photonic crystal nanocavity is employed for coupling QD emission into a GaAs waveguide, which efficiently transfers photons to a SiN waveguide at the crossover section. We observed Purcell-enhanced single-photon emission, on-chip propagation, and outcoupling through a SiN grating coupler.
