Context
Photonics is a branch of physics that focuses on the study and manufacture of components to generate, transmit, process or convert optical signals using photons.
This approach can be either classical or quantum, considering photons as waves or particles.
Photonics is applied in many industrial and research sectors, benefiting from specific support at European level.

Description
The invention described consists of a new method for integrating a single photon source on an integrated optics platform. It offers an efficient method to interface a nano-emitter with a low optical index waveguide (ion exchange glass).
This technology makes it possible to solve the problem of interfacing between different optical modes, namely the guided optical modes of the waveguide with integrated optics and the dipole type optical mode of the nano-emitter.
