Nanophotonic control of circular dipole emission
Open accessAbstract
Controlling photon emission by single emitters with nanostructures is crucial for scalable on-chip information processing. Nowadays, nanoresonators can affect the lifetime of linear dipole emitters, while nanoantennas can steer the emission direction. Expanding this control to the emission of orbital angular momentum-changing transitions would enable a future coupling between solid state and photonic qubits. As these transitions are associated with circular dipoles, such control requires knowledge of the interaction of a complex dipole with optical eigenstates containing local helicity. We experimentally map the coupling of classical, circular dipoles to photonic modes in a photonic crystal waveguide. We show that, depending on the combination of the local helicity of the mode and the dipole helicity, circular dipoles can couple to left- or rightwards propagating modes with a near-unity directionality. The experimental maps are in excellent agreement with calculations. Our measurements, therefore, demonstrate the possibility of coupling the spin to photonic pathway. Taking full advantage of photons as quantum information carriers requires faithful control of their lifetime, emission direction and orbital angular momentum. Here, the authors experimentally demonstrate a technique for directionally coupling classical, circular dipoles to the modes of a photonic-crystal waveguide.

The orbit-orbit coupling between IOAM and EOAM causes orbital-Hall effects: vortex-dependent shifts of optical beams.
“Finally, the 'orbit-orbit coupling' between IOAM and EOAM 63,64 causes the orbital-Hall effects : vortex-dependent shifts of optical beams.”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [63]
The Abstract and the section “Modification of linear dipole emission” describe helicity-dependent emission from circular dipoles into a photonic crystal waveguide. Neither those passages nor searches for orbit-orbit coupling and orbital-Hall beam shifts address coupling between IOAM and EOAM or vortex-dependent shifts of optical beams.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
