Thin-film InGaAs metamorphic buffer for telecom C-band InAs quantum dots and optical resonators on GaAs platform

Robert Sittig et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel InGaAs metamorphic buffer is developed using metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) with a nonlinear indium content grading profile. The thin-film buffer allows for the necessary transition of the lattice constant and provides a smooth surface for the growth of InAs quantum dots, resulting in single-photon emission at 1550 nm. The successful integration of this new design into a photonic resonator demonstrates its potential for high-quality nonclassical light sources in telecommunication.

Bright Telecom-Wavelength Single Photons Based on a Tapered Nanobeam

Chang-Min Lee et al.

Summary: In this study, a bright telecom-wavelength single photon source is demonstrated based on a tapered nanobeam containing InAs/InP quantum dots. The tapered nanobeam enables directional and Gaussian-like far-field emission of the quantum dots, resulting in a high-end brightness. Adopting quasi-resonant excitation helps reduce multiphoton emission and decoherence, achieving a coherence time and postselected Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility suitable for long-distance quantum networks.

Bright Purcell Enhanced Single-Photon Source in the Telecom O-Band Based on a Quantum Dot in a Circular Bragg Grating

Sascha Kolatschek et al.

Summary: The combination of semiconductor quantum dots with photonic cavities has shown promising results in achieving nonclassical light sources with high brightness, indistinguishability, and repetition rate. By coupling InGaAs/GaAs QDs to a circular Bragg grating cavity, enhancements in geometric extraction efficiency and brightness have been demonstrated under different excitation conditions. Through p-shell pumping, high count rates with pure single-photon emission have been achieved, along with good single-photon purity at temperatures of up to 77 K.
