- Abstract: The realization of single-photon generation is important for implementing
various quantum information technologies. The use of rare-earth ions in an
optical fiber is a promising single photon generation method due to its ability
to operate at room temperature as well as the low cost involved. Neodymium ions
are especially interesting because the ions are one of the most commercially
affordable rare-earth materials in the current industry. The neodymium ion also
has the advantage of having a rich energy level structure, which offers several
possible wavelengths for emitted single photons from visible to
near-telecommunication wavelengths. In this paper, we experimentally
demonstrated single-photon generation using an isolated single neodymium ion in
tapered silica fiber at room temperature. Our results have significant
implications as a platform for low-cost wavelength-selectable single-photon
sources and photonic quantum applications.

This study investigates aluminum nitride (AlN) as a material with properties highly suitable for integrated on-chip photonics.
We conduct a comprehensive study of the creation and photophysical properties of single-photon emitters in AlN utilizing Zirconium (Zr) and Krypton (Kr) heavy ion implantation.
With the 532 nm excitation wavelength, we found that single-photon emitters induced by ion implantation are primarily associated with vacancy-type defects in the AlN lattice for both Zr and Kr ions.
