An important advancement towards optical communication on a chip would be the
development of integratable, nanoscale photonic emitters with tailored optical properties.
Here we demonstrate the use of carbon nanotubes as electrically driven high-speed emitters
in combination with a nanophotonic cavity that allows for exceptionally narrow linewidths.
The one-dimensional photonic crystal cavities are shown to spectrally select desired
emission wavelengths, enhance intensity and efficiently couple light into the underlying …
