A bullseye cavity is characterized by concentric rings of alternating dielectrics, resembling a bullseye target. It has been successfully employed to enhance the collection efficiency and decay rate of various quantum emitters, including quantum dots, defect centers in diamond, and 2D materials.

In this notebook, we show how to set up a bullseye cavity simulation using Tidy3D and use Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to enhance the coupling efficiency from quantum emitters into the fundamental mode of an optical fiber. We will use the free available python library PySwarms for running PSO. For details about PSO you can see the notebook Particle swarm optimization of a polarization beam splitter. In addition, we show how to calculate the cavity Purcell factor, which is another important figure-of-merit within the context of cavity electrodynamics.

Cavity Geometry and Simulation Parameters¶

The cavity structure is inspired by Hekmati, R., Hadden, J.P., Mathew, A. et al. Bullseye dielectric cavities for photon collection from a surface-mounted quantum-light-emitter. Sci Rep 13, 5316 (2023) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-32359-0, where the authors presented a $TiO_{2}$ over $SiO_{2}$ bullseye cavity. In that work, the cavity was designed to enhance the emission from point sources, such as $WSe_{2}$ flakes, single dye molecules, and nano-diamonds, positioned just above the center of the structure. It was optimized using an iterative approach to enhance the power coupling into the numerical aperture (NA) of free-space optics and a low NA fiber.

Differently from that work, here we will set up the optimization to enhance the modal coupling efficiency of the generated photons into the collection fiber. When building an optimization scheme for practical applications, more advanced optimization strategies can be implemented to include other quantities of interest—for instance, the Purcell factor, which is important within the context of devices such as single-photon sources. The following figure shows the main cavity geometric parameters.

Bullseye Cavity Set Up¶

We start with the definition of a function to build the bullseye cavity simulation. The PSO algorithm passes 6 parameters to this function, which in turn returns a simulation object. The quantum emitter is modeled as a y-oriented PointDipole placed at the top of the cavity surface. A ModeMonitor calculates the power coupled into the fiber fundamental mode, and a FluxMonitor gets the total dipole power. We are using a PECBoundary condition in the -z direction as a metallic reflector at the bottom of the $SiO_{2}$ layer.

Output Fiber Mode¶

Before running the optimization, we will make sure the correct optical fiber mode has been considered.

[6]:

plt.show()

Particle Swarm Optimization¶

The figure-of-merit used in the optimization is the coupling efficiency of generated photons into the fundamental optical mode of the collection fiber. We need to normalize the modal power by the dipole power to obtain the correct value, as below.

[8]:

# Figure of Merit (FOM) calculation.
def get_coupling_eff(sim_data: td.SimulationData) -> float:
    """Return the power at the mode index of interest."""
    mode_amps = sim_data["mode_fiber"].amps.sel(direction="+", mode_index=0)
    mode_power = np.squeeze(np.abs(mode_amps) ** 2)
    dip_power = sim_data["flux_dip"].flux
    return mode_power / dip_power

Now, we can define the objective function passed to the PSO algorithm. This function receives a (n_particles, dimensions) array, where n_particles is the number of particles the optimization algorithm will move throughout the parameter space, and dimensions are the degrees of freedom (6). The n_particles simulations are submitted at once to the Tidy3D cloud, thus reducing the total optimization considerably.

[9]:

def obj(x, verbose: bool = False) -> float:
    # Objective values for each particle.
    obj_val = []

    # Create a simulation batch to run all the particles at once.
    sim_batch = {
        f"sim_r:{r}_p:{p}_w:{w}_h:{h}_t:{t}_d:{d}": get_simulation(
            r=r, p=p, w=w, h=h, tsio2=t, dcf=d
        )
        for r, p, w, h, t, d in zip(
            x[:, 0], x[:, 1], x[:, 2], x[:, 3], x[:, 4], x[:, 5]
        )
    }

    # Run the simulation batch.
    batch_data = web.run_async(simulations=sim_batch, path_dir="data", verbose=verbose)

    # Get the results.
    for _, sim_data in batch_data.items():
        ce = get_coupling_eff(sim_data)
        ce = np.amax(ce)
        obj_val.append(-ce)

    return np.asarray(obj_val)

Before starting the optimization, we need to define the bounds for the optimization parameters. Initial conditions are optional but necessary if results reproducibility is a concern.

[10]:

x_max = np.asarray(
    [1.5 * r_cav, 1.5 * p_bragg, 1.5 * w_bragg, 1.0, 1.5 * t_sio2, 1.5 * d_cf]
)
x_min = np.asarray(
    [0.5 * r_cav, 0.5 * p_bragg, 0.5 * w_bragg, 0.0, 0.5 * t_sio2, 0.5 * d_cf]
)
bounds = (x_min, x_max)

# Initial parameters
np.random.seed(123)
init_par = np.random.uniform(0.5, 1.0, (n_particle, x_max.shape[0]))
init_par[:, 0] = init_par[:, 0] * r_cav
init_par[:, 1] = init_par[:, 1] * p_bragg
init_par[:, 2] = init_par[:, 2] * w_bragg
init_par[:, 3] = init_par[:, 3] - 0.5
init_par[:, 4] = init_par[:, 4] * t_sio2
init_par[:, 5] = init_par[:, 5] * d_cf

# Initialization of PSO global optimizer.
options = {"c1": 0.5, "c2": 0.3, "w": 0.9}
optimizer = GlobalBestPSO(
    n_particles=n_particle,
    dimensions=x_max.shape[0],
    options=options,
    bounds=bounds,
    init_pos=init_par,
)

Now, we are ready to run the optimization!

[11]:

td.config.logging_level = "ERROR"

# Run the optimization.
best_ce, best_par = optimizer.optimize(obj, iterations)
best_ce = np.abs(best_ce)

Ultimately, we can obtain the optimized cavity parameters and see how the optimization has evolved into the final value. We have obtained a 4-fold improvement in coupling efficiency along the optimization. When optimizing a device for practical applications, one can consider adding more particles, increasing the number of iterations, or trying different metaparameters to improve results.

Purcell Factor Calculation¶

Purcell factor enhancement is usually desired when designing a quantum emitter light extractor device, as it can lead to higher photon generation rates, $\beta$-factors, and photon indistinguishability. Next, we calculate the bullseye nanocavity Purcell factor ($F_{p} = P_{cav}/P_{bulk}$) defined as the ratio between the dipole power emitted in final device and in the bulk semiconductor.

We can calculate $P_{bulk}$ analytically as

$P_{bulk_a} = \frac{\omega^{2}}{12\pi}\frac{\mu_{0}n}{c}$

where $n$ is the refractive index of the quantum emitter host material.

[16]:

p_bulk_a = ((2 * np.pi * freqs) ** 2 / (12 * np.pi)) * (td.MU_0 * n_tio2 / td.C_0)

When symmetries are present in the simulation, dipole image charges are included for each symmetry plane due to field continuity reasons. In this case, we need to adjust $P_{bulk_a}$ as below:

[17]:

p_bulk_a = p_bulk_a * 2 ** (2 * np.sum(np.abs(final_design.symmetry)))

Another way of obtaining $P_{bulk}$ is through a normalization run considering the quantum emitter embedded in a homogeneous medium, as follows. Note that the same symmetry condition of the cavity simulation should be used.

[18]:

# Point dipole source located at the center of TiO2 thin film.
dp_source_bulk = td.PointDipole(
    center=(0, 0, final_design.size[2] / 2),
    source_time=td.GaussianPulse(freq0=freq, fwidth=freqw),
    polarization="Ey",
)

# Flux monitor to get the total dipole power.
flux_dip_bulk = td.FluxMonitor(
    center=(0, 0, final_design.size[2] / 2),
    size=final_design.size,
    freqs=freqs,
    name="flux_dip_bulk",
)

bulk_device = final_design.copy(
    update={
        "structures": [],
        "sources": [dp_source_bulk],
        "monitors": [flux_dip_bulk],
        "medium": mat_tio2,
        "symmetry": final_design.symmetry,
        "boundary_spec": td.BoundarySpec.all_sides(boundary=td.PML()),
    }
)

A maximum Purcell value of about 3.7 is achieved at 0.73 $\mu m$, even though this figure-of-merit was not pursued along the optimization. Higher Purcell values can be obtained in cases where the quantum emitter can be embedded within the cavity material.

p_cav = sim_data_final["flux_dip"].flux
p_bulk_s = sim_data_bulk["flux_dip_bulk"].flux
