Outline of Final Research Achievements

Toward realization of highly efficient interaction between single quantum emitters and sub-wavelength optical nanofibers adiabatically connected to standard single-mode optical fibers, we developed ultra-low-loss tapered optical fibers and novel nanofiber resonators. Furthermore, we have realized strong coupling between single atoms and nanofiber resonators. Toward “waveguide quantum electrodynamics”, we have numerically studied high-efficiency coupling between NV centers in diamond nanowires and optical nanofibers.
