Henderson, M.Afshar Vahid, S.Greentree, A.Monro, T.2011-06-072011-06-072011Proceedings of the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) and Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference (QELS): held in Baltimore, Maryland USA 1-6 May, 2011: pp.483-48497815575291072160-90202162-2701http://hdl.handle.net/2440/64342A model for the capture of diamond colour centre emission by a step-index fibre, including effects due to the fibre core-cladding interface, is presented. We investigate the parameter space for optimal single photon capture.en© 2010 Optical Society of Americaoptical fibersdiamond-like carbonnanocrystalsphotonicsindexescolorOptical fibre with embedded diamond nanocrystals: Towards a high collection efficiency, waveguided single photon sourceConference paper00201154612011060711143610.1364/QELS.2011.QThE10002956124034142-s2.0-8005212790326437
