Development of Ta2O5 based photonic circuitry as new platform for integrated optics — •Lukas J. Splitthoff1,2, Martin A.

Integrated optical quantum information systems that work in the single-photon regime rely on low-loss and CMOS-compatible nano-photonic platforms, which enable the on-chip integration of quantum emitters and single-photon detectors. The high refractive index contrast between Ta2O5 and SiO2 as well as the low self-fluorescence of Ta2O5 enable on-chip quantum experiments in the visible wavelength range [1] as well as the telecommunications C-band [2] with high-quality devices and small footprint. Therefore, Ta2O5 serves as a promising candidate for outperforming existing photonic platforms such as Si3N4.
Here we report on the development of nano-photonic components on the Ta2O5 on insulator platform. We fabricate single-mode waveguides, grating couplers, resonators, and power splitters and characterize their performance for applications in integrated quantum photonics. We further assess the implementation of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) and single-photon sources like nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers.
