Abstract

Integrated photonic circuits offer a promising route for studying coherent cooperative effects of a controlled collection of quantum emitters. However, spectral inhomogeneities, decoherence, and material incompatibilities in the solid state make this a nontrivial task.Here, we demonstrate efficient coupling of a pair of Fourier-limited organic molecules embedded in a polyethylene film to aTiO2 microdisc resonator on a glass chip.Moreover,we tune the resonance frequencies of the emitters with respect to that of the microresonator by employing nanofabricated electrodes. For two molecules separated by a distance of about 8 μm and an optical phase difference of about π/2, we report on a large collective extinction of the incident light in the forward direction and the destructive interference of its scattering in the backward direction.Our work sets the ground for coherent coupling of several quantum emitters via a common mode and realization of polymer-based hybrid quantum photonic circuits.
