Deterministically integrating semiconductor quantum emitters with plasmonic nano-devices paves the way towards chip-scale integrable, true nanoscale quantum photonics technologies. For this purpose, stable and bright semiconductor emitters are needed, which moreover allow for CMOS-compatibility and optical activity in the telecommunication band. Here, we demonstrate strongly enhanced light-matter coupling of single near-surface ($<10,nm$) InAs quantum dots monolithically integrated into electromagnetic hot-spots of sub-wavelength sized metal nanoantennas. The antenna strongly enhances the emission intensity of single quantum dots by up to $sim16times$, an effect accompanied by an up to $3.4times$ Purcell-enhanced spontaneous emission rate. Moreover, the emission is strongly polarised along the antenna axis with degrees of linear polarisation up to $sim85,%$. The results unambiguously demonstrate the efficient coupling of individual quantum dots to state-of-the-art nanoantennas. Our work provides new perspectives for the realisation of quantum plasmonic sensors, step-changing photovoltaic devices, bright and ultrafast quantum light sources and efficent nano-lasers.

e study theoretically, the photoluminescence properties of a single quantum dot in a microcavity under incoherent excitation. We propose a microscopic quantum statistical approach providing a Lindblad (thus completely positive) description of pumping
and decay mechanisms of the quantum dot and of the cavity mode. Our analytical results show that strong coupling (SC) and linewidths are largely independent on the pumping intensity (until saturation effects come into play), in contrast to previous theoretical findings. We shall show the reliable predicting character of our theoretical framework in the analysis of various recent experiments.
We demonstrate non-perturbative coupling between a single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot and an external fiber-mirror based microcavity. Our results extend the previous realizations of tunable microcavities while ensuring spatial and spectral over
lap between the cavity-mode and the emitter by simultaneously allowing for deterministic charge control of the quantum dots. Using resonant spectroscopy, we show that the coupled quantum dot cavity system is at the onset of strong coupling, with a cooperativity parameter of 2. Our results constitute a milestone towards the realization of a high efficiency solid-state spin-photon interface.
We present the simulation, fabrication and optical characterization of plasmonic gold bowtie nanoantennas on a semiconducting GaAs substrate as geometrical parameters such as size, feed gap, height and polarization of the incident light are varied. T
he surface plasmon resonance was probed using white light reflectivity on an array of nominally identical, 35nm thick Au antennas. To elucidate the influence of the semiconducting, high refractive index substrate, all experiments were compared using nominally identical structures on glass. Besides a linear shift of the surface plasmon resonance from 1.08eV to 1.58eV when decreasing the triangle size from 170nm to 100nm on GaAs, we observed a global redshift by 0.25 +- 0.05eV with respect to nominally identical structures on glass. By performing polarization resolved measurements and comparing results with finite difference time domain simulations, we determined the near field coupling between the two triangles composing the bowtie antenna to be 8x stronger when the antenna is on a glass substrate compared to when it is on a GaAs substrate. The results obtained are of strong relevance for the integration of lithographically defined plasmonic nanoantennas on semiconducting substrates and, therefore, for the development of novel optically active plasmonic-semiconducting nanostructures.
Solution processible colloidal quantum dots hold great promise for realizing single-photon sources embedded into scalable quantum technology platforms. However, the high-yield integration of large numbers of individually addressable colloidal quantum
dots in a photonic circuit has remained an outstanding challenge. Here, we report on integrating individual colloidal core-shell quantum dots (CQDs) into a nanophotonic network that allows for excitation and efficient collection of single-photons via separate waveguide channels. An iterative electron beam lithography process provides a viable method to position single emitters at predefined positions in a photonic integrated circuit with yield that approaches unity. Our work moves beyond the bulk optic paradigm of confocal microscopy and paves the way for supplying chip-scale quantum networks with single photons from large numbers of simultaneously controllable quantum emitters.
We report on the structural and optical properties of individual bowtie nanoantennas both on glass and semiconducting GaAs substrates. The antennas on glass (GaAs) are shown to be of excellent quality and high uniformity reflected by narrow size dist
ributions with standard deviations for the triangle and gap size of $sigma_s^{glass}=4.5nm$ ($sigma_s^{GaAs}=2.6nm$) and $sigma_g^{glass}=5.4nm$ ($sigma_g^{GaAs}=3.8nm$), respectively. The corresponding optical properties of individual nanoantennas studied by differential reflection spectroscopy show a strong reduction of the localised surface plasmon polariton resonance linewidth from $0.21eV$ to $0.07eV$ upon reducing the antenna size from $150nm$ to $100nm$. This is attributed to the absence of inhomogeneous broadening as compared to optical measurements on nanoantenna ensembles. The inter-particle coupling of an individual bowtie nanoantenna, which gives rise to strongly localised and enhanced electromagnetic hotspots, is demonstrated using polarization-resolved spectroscopy, yielding a large degree of linear polarization of $rho_{max}sim80%$. The combination of highly reproducible nanofabrication and fast, non-destructive and non-contaminating optical spectroscopy paves the route towards future semiconductor-based nano-plasmonic circuits, consisting of multiple photonic and plasmonic entities.
