The T Centre Tango: Understanding how laser light couples to both the T centre and its environment - Photonic

The T centre and silicon are the ultimate quantum power-couple: combining telecom-band optical emission with established fabrication infrastructure. However, to truly unlock this pair’s potential, we need to ensure that T centre performance doesn’t degrade once integrated in devices. A new paper by our partners at Simon Fraser University, “Laser-induced spectral diffusion and excited-state mixing […]

Electrically triggered spin–photon devices in silicon - Nature Photonics

Two types of on-chip silicon device utilizing silicon T centres are developed: an O-band light-emitting diode and an electrically triggered single-photon source. Further, a new method of spin initialization with electrical excitation is demonstrated.
