Abstract In this work, we numerically study the luminescence of nanodiamonds with NV centres embedded in a polymer layer on the surface of one-dimensional photonic crystal. The interaction of NV center spontaneous emission with the Bloch surface wave (BSW) is demonstrated. The presence of a photonic crystal leads to a change in the angular distribution of the emitter radiation due to the coupling of luminescence to BSW. We show that the best coupling efficiency of 71% is observed when NV centres are located in the close proximity to the BSW field maximum.
