Electro‐optic frequency shift of single photons from a quantum dot

Sanjay Kapoor, Aleksander Rodek, Michał Mikołajczyk +5 more

Quantum dots (QDs) are a promising source of single photons mainly due to their on-demand operation. However, their emission wavelength depends on their size and immediate surroundings in the solid-state environment. By applying a serrodyne electro-optic phase modulation, we achieve a spectral shift up to 0.01 nm (3.5 GHz) while preserving the purity and indistinguishability of the photons. This method provides an efficient and scalable approach for tuning the emission wavelength of QDs without relying on nonlinear frequency mixing or probabilistic processes. Our results show that the electro-optic phase modulation enables stable and tunable spectral shifts, making it suitable for applications such as quantum communication, quantum key distribution, and primarily integrating remote quantum dot sources into large-scale quantum networks.

Ultra-coherent single photon source

Hai Son Nguyen, Gregory C. Sallen, Christophe Voisin +3 more

We present an original type of single photon source in solid state, based on the coherent laser light scattering by a single InAs quantum dot. We demonstrate that the coherence of the emitted single photons is tailored by the resonant excitation with a spectral linewidth below the radiative limit. Our ultra-coherent source opens the way for integrated quantum devices dedicated to the generation of single photons with high degrees of indistinguishability.

Sub-nanosecond Electro-optic Modulation of Triggered Single Photons from a Quantum Dot

Matthew T. Rakher, Kartik A. Srinivasan

Telecommunications-band single photons from a quantum dot are amplitude modulated on timescales fast compared to its radiative decay. Control of single photon wave-packets is an important resource for developing hybrid quantum systems.
