Abstract
A quantum-technological, micro-electro-optical or micro-electronic or photonic system includes a planar substrate of a direct or indirect semiconductor material. The system includes a microelectronic circuit including at least one transistor or diode. The system further includes a micro-optical subdevice and one or more nanoparticles, having one or more color centers. The surface of the of the planar substrate has a portion of a solidified colloidal film which is firmly bonded to the surface of the substrate. The portion of the solidified colloidal film includes the one or more nanoparticles. The system further includes a light-emitting electro-optical component. The light-emitting electro-optical component interacts optically with the micro-optical subdevice. The light-emitting electro-optical component interacts electrically and/or optically with the electrical component through the micro-optical subdevice. The interaction between the light-emitting electro-optical component and the electrical component takes place with an involvement of the color center or a plurality of color centers.
