Abstract

For a single quantum dot under excitation with short electrical pulses the dependence of the photon anti-bunching on pulse width and excitation strength is studied in a theory-experiment collaboration.

Shaping the electrical excitation pulse of spin injected quantum dots reveals a correlation between the time dynamics of higher-order photon emission and the pulse shape. This opens new pathways for integrated quantum light sources.

On-Demand Single Photons with High Extraction Efficiency and Near-Unity Indistinguishability from a Resonantly Driven Quantum Dot in a Micropillar

Xing Ding, Yu He, Z.-C. Duan +9 more

Scalable photonic quantum technologies require on-demand single-photon sources with simultaneously high levels of purity, indistinguishability, and efficiency. These key features, however, have only been demonstrated separately in previous experiments. Here, by s-shell pulsed resonant excitation of a Purcell-enhanced quantum dot-micropillar system, we deterministically generate resonance fluorescence single photons which, at π pulse excitation, have an extraction efficiency of 66%, single-photon purity of 99.1%, and photon indistinguishability of 98.5%. Such a single-photon source for the first time combines the features of high efficiency and near-perfect levels of purity and indistinguishabilty, and thus opens the way to multiphoton experiments with semiconductor quantum dots.

Strongly interacting photons in quantum dot cavity-QED

Andreas Reinhard, Thomas Volz, Ataç İmamoğlu

Here, we show unmistakable signatures of photon blockade in a strongly coupled single-quantum dot (QD) cavity system by demonstrating anti-bunching of photons upon pulsed resonant excitation of the lowest energy polariton state. When we tune the laser into two-photon resonance with the higher-lying polariton states, we observe strong bunching.
