RESUMEN

In this work, we developed pre-grown annealing to form ß2 reconstruction sites among ß or α (2 × 4) reconstruction phase to promote nucleation for high-density, size/wafer-uniform, photoluminescence (PL)-optimal InAs quantum dot (QD) growth on a large GaAs wafer. Using this, the QD density reached 580 (860) µm-2 at a room-temperature (T) spectral FWHM of 34 (41) meV at the wafer center (and surrounding) (high-rate low-T growth). The smallest FWHM reached 23.6 (24.9) meV at a density of 190 (260) µm-2 (low-rate high-T). The mediate rate formed uniform QDs in the traditional ß phase, at a density of 320 (400) µm-2 and a spectral FWHM of 28 (34) meV, while size-diverse QDs formed in ß2 at a spectral FWHM of 92 (68) meV and a density of 370 (440) µm-2. From atomic-force-microscope QD height distribution and T-dependent PL spectroscopy, it is found that compared to the dense QDs grown in ß phase (mediate rate, 320 µm-2) with the most large dots (240 µm-2), the dense QDs grown in ß2 phase (580 µm-2) show many small dots with inter-dot coupling in favor of unsaturated filling and high injection to large dots for PL. The controllable annealing (T, duration) forms ß2 or ß2-mixed α or ß phase in favor of a wafer-uniform dot island and the faster T change enables optimal T for QD growth.

RESUMEN

We report the slow-light enhanced spin-resolved in-plane emission from a single quantum dot (QD) in a photonic crystal waveguide (PCW). The slow light dispersions in PCWs are designed to match the emission wavelengths of single QDs. The resonance between two spin states emitted from a single QD and a slow light mode of a waveguide is investigated under a magnetic field with Faraday configuration. Two spin states of a single QD experience different degrees of enhancement as their emission wavelengths are shifted by combining diamagnetic and Zeeman effects with an optical excitation power control. A circular polarization degree up to 0.81 is achieved by changing the off-resonant excitation power. Strongly polarized photon emission enhanced by a slow light mode shows great potential to attain controllable spin-resolved photon sources for integrated optical quantum networks on chip.

RESUMEN

In this work, we develop single-mode fiber devices of an InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) by bonding a fiber array with large smooth facet, small core, and small numerical aperture to QDs in a distributed Bragg reflector planar cavity with vertical light extraction that prove mode overlap and efficient output for plug-and-play stable use and extensive study. Modulated Si doping as electron reservoir builds electric field and level tunnel coupling to reduce fine-structure splitting (FSS) and populate dominant XX and higher excitons XX+ and XXX. Epoxy package thermal stress induces light hole (lh) with various behaviors related to the donor field: lh h1 confined with more anisotropy shows an additional XZ line (its space to the traditional X lines reflects the field intensity) and larger FSS; lh h2 delocalized to wetting layer shows a fast h2-h1 decay; lh h2 confined shows D3h symmetric higher excitons with slow h2-h1 decay and more confined h1 to raise h1-h1 Coulomb interaction.

RESUMEN

The coherent interaction of electromagnetic fields with solid-state two-level systems can yield deterministic quantum light sources for photonic quantum technologies. To date, the performance of semiconductor single-photon sources based on three-level systems is limited mainly due to a lack of high photon indistinguishability. Here we tailor the cavity-enhanced spontaneous emission from a ladder-type three-level system in a single epitaxial quantum dot through stimulated emission. After populating the biexciton (XX) of the quantum dot through two-photon resonant excitation, we use another laser pulse to selectively depopulate the XX state into an exciton (X) state with a predefined polarization. The stimulated XX-X emission modifies the X decay dynamics and improves the characteristics of a polarized single-photon source, such as a source brightness of 0.030(2), a single-photon purity of 0.998(1) and an indistinguishability of 0.926(4). Our method can be readily applied to existing quantum dot single-photon sources and expands the capabilities of three-level systems for advanced quantum photonic functionalities.

RESUMEN

We have obtained an ultralong lifetime exciton emission in InAs/GaAs single quantum dots (QDs) when the QD films are transferred onto the Si substrate covered by Ag nanoparticles. It is found that when the separation distance from the QD layer (also the wetting layer) to the Ag nanoparticles is around 19 nm, the QD emission lifetime changes from approximately 1 to 2000 ns. A classical dipole oscillator model is used to quantitatively calculate the spontaneous radiation decay rate of the excitons in the wetting layer (WL), and the simulated calculation result is in good agreement with the experimental one, revealing that the long lifetime exciton emission is due to the existence of the dark state in the WL. The self-induced dark state stems from the destructive interference between the exciton emission field and the induced dipole field of the Ag nanoparticles.

RESUMEN

Uniform arrays of three shapes (gauss, hat, and peak) of GaAs microlenses (MLs) by wet-etching are demonstrated, ∼200 nm spatial isolation of epitaxial single QDs embedded (λ: 890-990 nm) and broadband (Δλ∼80 nm) enhancement of their quantum light extraction are obtained, which is also suitable for telecom-band epitaxial QDs. Combined with the bottom distributed Bragg reflector, the hat-shaped ML forms a cavity and achieves the best enhancement: extraction efficiency of 26%, Purcell factor of 2 and single-photon count rate of 7×106 counts per second at the first lens; while the gauss-shaped ML shows a broader band (e.g., longer λ) enhancement. In the MLs, single QDs with featured exciton emissions are observed, whose time correlations prove single-photon emission with multi-photon probability g(2)(0)=0.02; some QDs show both biexciton XX and exciton X emissions and exhibit a perfect cascade feature. This work could pave a step towards a scalable array of QD single-photon sources and the application of QD photon-pair emission for entanglement experiments.

RESUMEN

We proposed a precise calibration process of Al 0.9Ga0.1As/GaAs DBR micropillar cavity to match the single InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) exciton emission and achieve cavity mode resonance and a great enhancement of QD photoluminescence (PL) intensity. Light-matter interaction of single QD in DBR micropillar cavity (Q ∼ 3800) under weak coupling regime was investigated by temperature-tuned PL spectra; a pronounced enhancement (14.6-fold) of QD exciton emission was observed on resonance. The second-order autocorrelation measurement shows g(2)(0)=0.070, and the estimated net count rate before the first objective lens reaches 1.6×107 counts/s under continuous wave excitation, indicating highly pure single-photon emission at high count rates.
