Direct laser writing is a high precision technology that allows for the fabrication of three-dimensional microstructures using passive photoresists. These passive structures when incorporated with active nanomaterials become functional and thus useful for sensing and actuation. In this thesis, we employ direct laser writing to incorporate active materials, especially nanoscale emitters, on chip-scale and fiber tips in the form of active devices. We utilize nano emitters as gain media in active devices by: (1) deterministically 3D printing nano emitter doped photoresists in desired locations and (2) designing mode converters to efficiently provide pump to and collect emission from the devices. Nano emitter doped photoresists are used to create active devices like ring resonators and whispering gallery mode resonators using a two-step direct laser writing process. These active devices are pumped from a single mode fiber using 3D printed metalenses on a fiber tip to mitigate the losses in the otherwise non-adiabatic tapered waveguides. Emissions from the devices are coupled out using 3D printed ellipsoidal lenses that allow for nearly objective free coupling between device and the fiber used for measurement of signals. In addition to employing direct laser writing to fabricate active devices, we utilize the technique to fabricate directional emitters and mode converters to improve the collection efficiency of nanoemitters. Collecting significant and measurable emission from nanoscale emitters such as upconversion nanoparticles, quantum dots, color centers in nanodiamonds, and defects in 2D materials can be challenging because they typically emit omni-directionally. To improve the efficiency of collection of emissions from nanoscale emitters, it is essential to: (1) deterministically place the emitters in desired locations, and (2) design mode-converters to match the emission modes to the modes of the collection system. In this thesis, we demonstrate deterministic placement of nanoscale emitters using a pick-and-place technique called polymer-pen lithography and direct laser writing. The emitters are placed at the focus of ellipsoidal micro-lenses which collimate a significant part of the forward-going emission leading to a large increase in the collection efficiency even at low numerical apertures of the collecting optics. Here, we demonstrate the concept with upconversion nanoparticle emitters and nitrogen vacancy nanodiamonds placed deterministically at the focus of 3D-printed ellipsoidal micro-lenses. The high collimation of ellipsoidal lenses is compared against hemispherical and Weierstrass geometries. This approach will be of particular interest for improving the collection efficiency from low-count single-photon emitters, and it also lends itself to hybrid integration for fiber-tochip and on-chip applications.
