title: Metal-coated nanocylinder cavity for broadband nonclassical light emission.
abstract: A novel metal-coated nanocylinder-cavity architecture fully compatible with III-V GaInAs technology and benefiting from a broad spectral range enhancement of the local density of states is proposed as an integrated source of nonclassical light. Because of a judicious selection of the mode volume, the cavity combines good collection efficiency (≈45%), large Purcell factors (≈15) over a 80 nm spectral range, and a low sensitivity to inevitable spatial mismatches between the single emitter and the cavity mode. This represents a decisive step towards the implementation of reliable solid-state devices for the generation of entangled photon pairs at infrared wavelengths.
