An important promise of nanophotonic structures ranging from photonic crystals and metamaterials to plasmonics is to control the emission rate and directionality of single emitters. A prerequisite is that emitters can be precisely positioned with respect to the photonic structure. In this work we demonstrate a method that achieves 70 nm resolution, and which can be applied irrespective of the emitter and substrate chemistry.
