Abstract

Quantum dots as single-photon sources have several advantages, such as emitting light over a broad spectral range and being photostable. Quantum dots with densities as low as 1 dot/mu m(2) have been achieved using ultra-low-rate epitaxy and single-dot emission measured without apertures or post-growth processing. Both excitionic and biexcitonic emissions are observed from single dots created in this way, appearing as doublets with a fine-structure splitting of 320 mu eV. The polarization of the split states is also investigated. Hanbury Brown-Twiss correlation measurements for the excitonic emission under cw excitation show anti-bunching behavior with an autocorrelation value of g((2))(0) = 0.2.
