Recently, Los Alamos National Laboratory to create a carbon nanotube quantum light emitter. This light emitter is capable of single-photon emission at room temperature and telecom wavelength.

CNT nanotubes are chemically controlled to change the surface structure of nanotubes to controllably introduce luminescent defects and develop a single photon source based on carbon nanotubes. A key breakthrough at work is to be able to force the nanotubes to emit light along a tube at a defect site from a single point, confining the defect level to one per tube and by selecting nanotubes of the appropriate diameter, the single photon emission can be tuned to the necessary communication wavelength region. By thus controlling the quantum properties of photons to store, manipulate and transmit information.

The carbon nanotube quantum light emitter manufactured in this experiment is the first known material in the world capable of emitting single photons at room temperature and telecom wavelength. Such carbon nanotube quantum light emitters are dedicated to achieving defect-state quantum emitters that operate at room temperature and exhibit their functionally useful wavelengths, which may be important for optical-based quantum information processing and information security while It is also of great significance for ultrasensitive sensing, metrology, imaging, and photon sources that serve as a basis for quantum optics research.

In the ideal case, single-photon emitters can operate at room temperature and operate in the telecommunications band. However, in reality, this is still an unattainable goal. Due to the limitation of the working environment to realize the single photon emitter, up to now, the material working environment that can be used as a wavelength single photon emitter must be cooled to the liquid helium temperature so that they eventually Application or scientific research is not significant.

The team members said the functionalized carbon nanotube technology has bright prospects for further development, including the development of functional chemistry; integration in photonic, plasmonic and metamaterial structures to further control the quantum emission characteristics; and in the multi Electric drives used in applications and light path implementations.

The study is covered in the latest issue of Nature Photonics.
