摘要: The optimal top structure of a nanowire quantum emitter single photon source is significant in improving performance. Based on the axial symmetry of a cylindrical nanowire, this paper optimizes the top profile of a nanowire for the maximum forward emission by combining the geometry projection method and the finite element method. The results indicate that the nanowire with a cambered top has the stronger emission in the forward direction, which is helpful to improve the photon collection efficiency.
