Cryogenic photoluminescence imaging system for nanoscale positioning of single quantum emitters (1612.07412v1)

Published 22 Dec 2016 in quant-ph, cond-mat.mes-hall, and physics.optics

Abstract: We report a photoluminescence imaging system for locating single quantum emitters with respect to alignment features. Samples are interrogated in a 4~K closed-cycle cryostat by a high numerical aperture (NA=0.9, 100$\times$ magnification) objective that sits within the cryostat, enabling high efficiency collection of emitted photons without image distortions due to the cryostat windows. The locations of single InAs/GaAs quantum dots within a $>50$~$\mu$m~$\times$~50~$\mu$m field of view are determined with $\approx4.5$~nm uncertainty (one standard deviation) in a 1~s long acquisition. The uncertainty is determined through a combination of a maximum likelihood estimate for localizing the quantum dot emission, and a cross-correlation method for determining the alignment mark center. This location technique can be an important step in the high-throughput creation of nanophotonic devices that rely upon the interaction of highly confined optical modes with single quantum emitters.
