Efficient Light Coupling and Purcell Effect Enhancement for Interlayer Exciton Emitters in 2D Heterostructures Combined with SiN Nanoparticles

Abstract

Optimal design of a silicon nitride waveguide structure composed of resonant nanoantennas for efficient light coupling with interlayer exciton emitters in a MoSe2-WSe2 heterostructure is proposed. Numerical simulations demonstrate up to eight times coupling efficiency improvement and twelve times Purcell effect enhancement in comparison with a conventional strip waveguide. Achieved results can be beneficial for development of on-chip non-classical light sources.
