RESUMO
Color centers in nanodiamonds (NDs) have been largely explored by coupling to a photonic structured matrix (PSM) to amplify visible range emission features, enhancing their use in quantum technologies. Here, we study the emission enhancement of dual near-infrared zero phonon line (ZPL) emission from silicon-boron (SiB) and silicon-vacancy (SiV-) centers in NDs using a spontaneously emerged low index-contrast quasiperiodic PSM, having micron-scale air pores. An intensity enhancement factor of 6.15 for SiV- and 7.8 for SiB ZPLs is attained for the PSM sample compared to a control sample. We find Purcell enhancement of 2.77 times for the PSM sample using spatial-dependent decay rate measurements, supported by localized field intensity confinement in the sample. Such cavity-like emission enhancement and lifetime reduction are enabled by an in-plane order-disorder scattering in the PSM sample substantiated by pump-dependent emission measurements. The results put forward a facile approach to tailor the near-infrared dual ZPL emission from NDs using nanophotonic structures.
