Professor Yasuhiko Arakawa and Associate Professor Satoshi Iwamoto, in collaboration with Associate Professor Yuichiro Kato (Graduate School of Engineering) and colleagues, have succeeded in coupling the luminescence from a single carbon nanotube (CNT) into a photonic crystal (PhC) with high efficiency. They have designed a new type of PhC to capture the light emitted from distant single-walled CNTs with an estimated efficiency of 85%. The paper has been published in Nature Communications on 25 November.
