We report on the deterministic coupling between single semiconducting nanowire quantum dots emitting in visible and plasmonic Au nanoantennas. Both systems are separately and carefully characterized through micro-photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence. A two-step realignment process using cathodoluminescence allows for electron-beam lithography of Au antennas near individual nanowire quantum dots with a precision of 50 nm. A complete set of optical properties was measured before and after…

Multipolar radiation of quantum emitters with nanowire optical antennas
TLDR
This work demonstrates controlled emission of a quantum dot into multipolar radiation through selective coupling to a linear nanowire antenna, establishing a basis for the controlled driving of fundamental modes in nanoantennas and metamaterials and for the development of innovative quantum nano-optics components with properties not found in nature.
Enhancing the optical excitation efficiency of a single self-assembled quantum dot with a plasmonic nanoantenna.
TLDR
Spectrally and temporally resolved photoluminescence measurements prove an increase of the quantum dot’s excitation rate.
Direct observation of plasmonic modes in au nanowires using high-resolution cathodoluminescence spectroscopy.

From the observed patterns, the spatial and spectral properties of the wire eigenmodes are derived and the dispersion relation for plasmonic Au nanowire modes are determined.

A high-Q nanocavity can be created by placing a single III–V semiconductor nanowire with a diameter of under 100 nm in a grooved waveguide in a Si photonic crystal, by means of nanoprobe manipulation.

TLDR
The directional emission of individual GaAs nanowires is demonstrated by coupling this emission to Yagi-Uda optical antennas by explaining the mechanism leading to this directional emission by finite difference time domain simulations of the scattering efficiency of the antenna elements.

Unidirectional Emission of a Quantum Dot Coupled to a Nanoantenna
TLDR
An optical antenna is designed, a shrunk-down version of the Yagi-Uda design used in microwave and radio communication, and it is shown that coupling the quantum dot to the antenna provides control over the direction of the emitted light.
