Abstract
Solid-state quantum emitters (QEs) with arbitrary direction emission and well-defined polarization are critical for scalable single-photon sources and quantum information processing. However, the design strategy for on-chip generation of off-normal photon emission with high-purity polarization characteristics has so far remained elusive. Here, we introduce the anisotropic holography metasurfaces for efficiently manipulating the emission direction and polarization of QE. The proposed method offers a flexible way to realize phase matching in surface plasmon scattering with spatially varying filling factors and provides an efficient route for designing advanced QE-coupled metasurfaces. By nonradiatively coupling nanodiamonds with metasurfaces, we experimentally demonstrate on-chip generation of well-collimated single-photon emission propagating along off-normal directions (i.e., 20° and 30°) featuring a divergence angle lower than 2.5°. The experimental average degree of linear polarization attains up to >0.98, thereby revealing markedly high polarization purity. This study facilitates applications of QEs in the deployment of integrated quantum networks.
