The main advantage of plasmonics compared to dielectric structures is their small size - typically in the subwavelength regime [1]. In combination with the concentration of the electromagnetic field in plasmonic antennae, a significant improvement of nanophotonic devices is expected. When high directivities are desired, these advantages however may vanish: Metallic collimating antennas, such as bull's eye or spiral antennas have sizes that are typically significantly larger than the operating wavelength [2]. With increasing size, also losses will become more prominent. When it comes to dielectric nanostructures the Kerker condition can be employed, as such structures can also support magnetic modes [3].
In this contribution we will introduce a dielectric antenna with a subwavelength size and discuss the coupling to the nitrogen vacancy center in nano diamond. Experimental results will be complemented by full numerical calculations.
