Claims13
1-11. (canceled)
A method for producing a single photon source, comprising:
- (a) functionalizing a top surface of a plasmonic thin film to form a functionalized thin film;
- (b) depositing a polymer on top of the functionalized thin film;
- (c) lithographically patterning the polymer to form patterned functionalized sites;
- and
- (d) targeting nanodiamond particles to the patterned functionalized sites.

A method for producing a single photon source, comprising:
- (a) functionalizing a top surface of a plasmonic thin film;
- (b) depositing a polymer over the top surface of the plasmonic thin film;
- (c) removing one or more portions of the polymer to form patterned functionalized sites on the top surface of a plasmonic thin film;
- (d) depositing nanodiamond particles onto the patterned functionalized sites;
- (e) depositing a dielectric material layer over the nanodiamond particles;
- and
- (f) depositing a second plasmonic film over the dielectric material layer.
