Abstract
An optical device comprising a single-photon device, which is coupled to a planar waveguide is described. The planar waveguide comprises a nanostructured section, which includes a longitudinal extending guiding region with a first side and a second side, a first nanostructure arranged on the first side of the guiding region, and a second nanostructure arranged on the second side of the guiding region. The nanostructured section comprises a slow-mode section, in which the single-photon device is positioned or embedded, and in which the first nanostructure and second nanostructure suppress spontaneous emission into other modes. The planar waveguide further comprises a fiber coupler for coupling light out of the planar waveguide and into an optical fiber, the fiber coupler preferably being adapted to match a field profile of an optical fiber.
