ABSTRACT

Today, microfabrication techniques allow to manufacture structures

that control the propagation of light on the nanoscale. Such

nanophotonic devices can be used to tailor the properties of single-

quantum emitters, as discussed at the end of Part I. Thus, they

can be used for many interesting quantum optics experiments and

might become a basis for a future integrated quantum technology.

Furthermore, integrated semiconductor optics will enable tremen-

dous progress in VLSI electronic circuits. Currently, progress is

limited by the broadband wiring of the different areas on a chip. For

this problem, optical interconnections are a favorable solution.
