Abstract

We present measurements of the second-order coherence function on emission from single GaN quantum dots. A large degree of photon antibunching is observed, demonstrating single-photon source operating at a record-short wavelength of 357 nm.

Photon correlation studies of single GaN quantum dots

We present measurements of the second-order coherence function on emission from single GaN quantum dots. In some cases a large degree of photon antibunching is observed, demonstrating isolation of a single quantum system. For a selected quantum dot, we study the dependence of photon antibunching on excitation power and temperature. Using pulsed excitation, we demonstrate an ultraviolet triggered single-photon source operating at a wavelength of 358nm.

Quantum Dot Single Photon Sources Studied with Superconducting Single Photon Detectors

Martin J. Stevens, Robert H. Hadfield, Robert E. Schwall +2 more

We report the observation of photon antibunching from a single, self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot (QD) at temperatures up to 135 K. The second-order intensity correlation,$g^{(2)}$(0), is less than 0.260$\pm$0.024 for temperatures up to 100 K. At 120 K,$g^{(2)}$(0) increases to about 0.471, which is slightly less than the second-order intensity correlation expected from two independent single emitters. In addition, we characterize the performance of a superconducting single photon detector (SSPD) based on a nanopatterned niobium nitride wire that exhibits 68$\pm$3-ps timing jitter and less than 100-Hz dark count rate with a detection efficiency (DE) of up to 2% at 902 nm. This detector is used to measure spontaneous emission lifetimes of semiconductor quantum wells (QWs) emitting light at wavelengths of 935 and 1245 nm. The sensitivity to wavelengths longer than 1$\mu$m and the Gaussian temporal response of this superconducting detector present clear advantages over the conventional detector technologies. We also use this detector to characterize the emission from a single InGaAs QD embedded in a micropillar cavity, measuring a spontaneous emission lifetime of 370 ps and a$g^{(2)}$(0) of 0.24$\pm$0.03.

Photon antibunching from a single lithographically defined InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot

We demonstrate photon antibunching from a single lithographically defined quantum dot. Measurement of the second order autocorrelation function indicates g (2) (0) = 0.395 ± 0.030, below the 0.5 limit necessary for classification as a single photon source.

Single-photon emission from a type-B InP∕GaInP quantum dot

Gareth J. Beirne, Peter Michler, Michael Jetter +1 more

Type-B InP∕GaInP quantum dots are expected to exhibit a type-II electronic structure. Evidence for this is provided by the variation in decay time of the ensemble as a function of excitation power density. Photon correlation measurements were subsequently performed on a single type-B InP∕GaInP quantum dot using a Hanbury-Brown and Twiss setup [Nature 178, 1447 (1956)]. Autocorrelation measurements were carried out under both continuous-wave and pulsed excitation conditions with single-photon emission observed in each case. The continuous-wave measurements display a pronounced antibunching dip at zero time delay while pulsed measurements enable the triggered generation of single photons on demand at a wavelength of approximately 750 nm.

Converting single photons from an InAs/GaAs quantum dot into the ultraviolet : preservation of second-order correlations

Anica Hamer, Fricker, David, Marcel Hohn +6 more

Wavelength conversion at the single-photon level is required to forge a quantum network from distinct quantum devices. Such devices include solid-state emitters of single or entangled photons, as well as network nodes based on atoms or ions. Here we demonstrate the conversion of single photons emitted from a III-V semiconductor quantum dot at 853 nm via sum frequency conversion to the wavelength of the strong transition of Yb+ ions at 370 nm. We measure the second-order correlation function of both the unconverted and the converted photon and show that the single-photon character of the quantum dot emission is preserved during the conversion process.
