Single photon sources based on single quantum dots

August 8, 2004
Author(s)
Richard P. Mirin
We describe temperature-dependent photon antibunching measurements from single InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots. The second order intensity correlation demonstrates single emitter emission up to 120 K and nonclassical light emission to 135 K.

We employ cavity ringdown to perform absorption experiments of InGaAs/GaAs QDs. Integrating an AlAs/GaAs DBR incorporating InGaAs QD?s into a Fabry-Perot cavity, we demonstrate this approach and its potentials for sensitive measurements on semiconductor

A single-electron transistor (SET) is used to detect tunneling of single electrons into individual InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). By using an SET with a small island area and growing QDs with a low density we are able to distinguish and measure
