A pick-and-place technique for the assembly of integrated quantum optical hybrid devices — •Andreas W. Schell, Günter Kewes, Janik Wolters, Tim Schröder, Thomas Aichele, and Oliver Benson — Nanooptik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Deutschland

Combining pre-selected nanoparticles with nano-or microstructures produced in a top down process is an important but challenging step in the production of hybrid devices for nano-optics. Here, a pick-and-place technique for the controlled bottom up assembly of integrated quantum optical devices based on atomic force microscopy combined with optical confocal microscopy is introduced [1]. This technique allows for the placement of nanoparticles on nearly arbitrarily shaped samples. By coupling nitrogen vacancy defect centers in diamond nanocrystals, which are capable of emitting single photons, to photonic and plasmonic structures like photonic crystals, photonic crystal fibers or nanoantennas using this pick-and-place technique, hybrid quantum optical elemements are produced.
