Color centers in diamond represent a promising hardware for developing quantum optical technologies. However, light cannot be easily collected from such systems due to radiation at wide angles and total internal reflection at the diamond interface. Typically, advanced optical nanostructures and/or sophisticated external optics are required to overcome these issues. Recently, we have proposed a planar configuration of an optical Yagi-Uda antenna, which leads to large extraction efficiencies and strong directional emission from solid-state quantum emitters [1]. Here, we apply our scheme to SiV color centers in diamond, which we create in a controlled manner [2]. Polycrystalline diamond membranes with thicknesses on the order of 50 nm - 170 nm have been implanted with silicon ions to create SiV color centres. Next, we have deposited dielectric and metal films to build our planar antenna. We investigate the emission characteristics of such hybrid system and explore its potential for single-photon emission.
