The controlled and scaleable coupling of single quantum emitters to photonic crystal structures is one of the main challenges on the way towards integrated solid-state devices for optical quantum information processing. We tackle this problem by using a hybrid approach, which combines lithographic fabrication techniques with nanomanipulation methods, allowing the deterministic coupling of arbitrary emitters or other nanoscopic objects to the optical modes of photonic crystal cavities. Here we present recent experimental results on the controlled coupling of the zero phonon line emission from a single NV-center in a nanodiamond to such cavities. Our approach is well suited for the creation of improved single photon sources and also complex photonic devices with several emitters coupled coherently via shared cavity modes.
