Arrays of liquid crystal defects—linear smectic dislocations—are used to trap semiconductor CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods which behave as single-photon emitters. Measurements of the emission diagram are combined together with measurements of the emitted polarization of the single emitters. It is shown that t...
