We optimize silicon nano-antennas to enhance and steer the emission of local quantum sources. We combine global evolutionary optimization (EO) with frequency domain electrodynamical simulations, and compare design strategies based on resonant and non-resonant building blocks. Specifically, we investigate the performance of models with different...

Optical Mie resonators based on silicon nanostructures allow tuning of light-matter-interaction with advanced design concepts based on CMOS compatible nanofabrication. Optically active materials such as transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers can be placed in the near-field region of such Mie resonators. Here, we experimentally...

Plasmonic hyperdoped Si nanocrystals embedded in silica synthesized via a combination of sequential low energy ion implantation and rapid thermal annealing. We show that phosphorus dopants are incorporated into the nanocrystal cores at concentrations up to six times higher than P solid solubility in bulk Si by combining 3D mapping with atom...

Monolayers (MLs) of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as WSe2 and MoSe2 can be placed by dry stamping directly on broadband dielectric resonators, which have the ability to enhance the spontaneous emission rate and brightness of solid-state emitters at room temperature. We show strongly enhanced emission and directivity modifications...

As building blocks of multifunctional materials involving coupling at the nanoscale, highly doped semiconductor nanocrystals are of great interest for potential applications in nanophotonics. In this work, we investigate the plasmonic properties of highly doped Si nanocrystals embedded in a silica matrix. These materials are obtained by...
