Abstract
Quantum emitters in solids are being developed for a range of quantum technologies, including quantum networks, computing, and sensing. However, a remaining challenge is the poor photon collection due to the high refractive index of most host materials. Here we overcome this limitation by introducing monolithic parabolic reflectors as an efficient geometry for broadband photon extraction from quantum emitter and experimentally demonstrate this device for the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. Simulations indicate a photon collection efficiency exceeding 75% across the visible spectrum and experimental devices, fabricated using a high-throughput gray-scale lithography process, demonstrate a photon extraction efficiency of (48± 5)%. This device enables a raw experimental efficiency of (12± 2)\% with fluorescence detection rates as high as (4.6 - 5.7)× 10⁶ counts per second from a single NV center.
