When considering solid state emitters and their emitted photons to act as qubits and flying qubits in a quantum network, it is crucial to efficiently link both. A technical realization of this link is an antenna. Current design concepts often suffer from a large footprint, quenching or a complex fabrication process [1-3]. Here we show another very general design concept where the Kerker effect [4] is used to redirect and collimate emission from single emitters, exemplary discussed on a nitrogen vacancy (NV) center. The antenna is an easy to fabricate cylindrical protrusion (a nanodisk with small aspect ratio) made from a medium of moderate or high refractive index (e.g., diamond, ZnO, SiN or GaAs) etched into a substrate of the same material. Such a simple structure supports leaky localized modes that lead to directed emission by de- and constructive interference. To analyze the antenna we employ a versatile optimized quasi normal mode method that gives a clear view on the otherwise obscured underlying physics of this antenna type. Emitters may be incorporated inside the antenna or placed on top.
