Diamond with nitrogen–vacancy (NV) centers is one of the most promising platforms realizing high-performance solid-state quantum repeaters. Towards the realization of large-scale quantum information processing systems, it is necessary to coherently connect individual NV centers spatially separated through low-loss optical waveguides. It is numerically demonstrated that a simple hybrid structure locating a diamond nanobeam waveguide on an air-suspended SiN waveguide can realize almost loss-less light coupling between two waveguides. Here, we report a design of diamond PhC cavity in such a hybrid structure. Our numerical simulations show that a Purcell factor (F_P) over 90 is attainable in the hybrid structure despite the small refractive index contrast between diamond (n = 2.4) and SiN (n = 2.01), indicating that the efficiency of zero-phonon-line (ZPL) emission of NV centers can be enhanced even in such hybrid structures.
