Deterministic Coupling of Single Nitrogen Vacancy Centres in Diamond Nanocrystals to Bowtie Nanoantennas — •Günter Kewes, Andreas Schell, Thomas Aichele, and Oliver Benson — Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institut für Physik, Nanooptik

Surface plasmons polaritons provide the opportunity to concentrate electromagnetic energy in volumes much smaller than the wavelength of a photon with equal frequency, i.e. focussing beyond Abbe’s limit, therefore giving large interaction between light and matter. This can be exploited in the construction of optical antennas which are designed to concentrate excitation energy at an emitter’s location and further enhance the emitters output.

We present the coupling of single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres in nanodiamond with a gold nanoantenna. The NV centres were systematically rearranged through AFM nanomanipulation around the nanoantenna, resulting in maps of excited state lifetime reduction. These maps can give great insight into the near-field properties of such structures allowing for optimization of hybrid emitter-antenna systems. We observe that this reduction is not solely a fluorescence quenching effect, and an overall enchancement of the photon rate by a factor 2.2 was found.
