Colloidal quantum dots coupled to electrically connected optical antennas — •Patrick Pertsch, René Kullock, Monika Emmerling, and Bert Hecht — NanoOptics & Biophotonics Group, Experimental Physics 5, University of Würzburg, Germany

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) attract a lot of interest due to their tunable light emission, high efficiency and single-photon characteristics. Combining them with optical antennas can not only lead to strong coupling [1] but also to enhanced and directional emission. To achieve that the QDs have to be positioned accurately within the antenna which, in the past, has been realized by complex and time consuming processes [2,3].

Here we report on a much simpler process, utilizing dielectrophoresis, to load the gap of electrically connected antennas with colloidal QDs. The QDs are positioned accurately inside the 30-nm gaps of the antennas, show strong photoluminescence and are promising for electro-optical applications. The reported method allows the preparation of QD-antenna systems within a few minutes.
