Towards Nanoemitters Coupled to Surface Plasmons in Metal Nanostructures — •Thomas Aichele1, Oliver Benson1, Nils Nüsse2, and Bernd Löchel2 — 1Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Inst.

We discuss and present initial experimental results towards the implementation of individual quantum emitters into surface plasmon (SP) waveguide structures. The SP waveguides are made of metal nanostructures on a dielectric surface using electron beam lithography and lift-off. Nanowire quantum dots and diamond nanocrystals are considered as individual quantum emittes. These systems can be translated across the substrate surface using scanning probe microscopy. They are thus precisely positioned on a nanometer scale relative to the metal nanostructures. In this way, a highly compact single-photon device, integrated in on-chip quantum optics experiments can be realized.
