Integrated quantum optical hybrid devices consist of fundamental constituents such as single emitters and tailored photonic nanostructures. A reliable fabrication method requires the controlled deposition of active nanoparticles on arbitrary nanostructures with highest precision. Here, we describe an easily adaptable technique that employs picking and placing of nanoparticles with an atomic force microscope combined with a confocal setup. In this way, both the topography and the optical response can be monitored simultaneously before and after the assembly. The technique can be applied to arbitrary particles. Here, we focus on nanodiamonds containing single nitrogen vacancy centers, which are particularly interesting for quantum optical experiments on the single photon and single emitter level.
集成量子光学混合器件由诸如单发射器和定制光子纳米结构等基本组件组成。一种可靠的制造方法需要以最高精度将活性纳米粒子可控地沉积在任意纳米结构上。在此，我们描述了一种易于适配的技术，该技术利用原子力显微镜结合共聚焦装置来拾取和放置纳米粒子。通过这种方式，在组装前后都可以同时监测形貌和光学响应。该技术可应用于任意粒子。在此，我们重点关注含有单个氮空位中心的纳米金刚石，它们在单光子和单发射器水平的量子光学实验中特别有趣。
