Experimental diamond photonics: Current state and prospects. Part I

Abstract

In this review, we generalize and systematize the experimental data of the past few years concerning the implementation of solid-state photonic structures based on synthetic diamond materials. We list the physical properties and performances of the available devices and describe the technologies for their fabrication. The aim of the review is to establish whether the quality of the available quantum network elements, including various waveguide structures and microcavities interacting with the color centers, meets the concept of a solid-state photonic chip.
