Generation and Characterization of Single Fluorescent Centers
May 4, 2026
We investigate the formation of new emitters for single photon source applications by laser irradiation of different types of materials: silicon nitride, silver nanocubes, and a silicone-based contact lens hydrogel polymer. Single-emitter confocal fluorescence microscopy, low-light spectroscopy, and a Hanbury Brown-Twiss correlator are used for characterization of laser-induced photoluminescence centers.
