Nonclassical Light Sources Based on Selectively Positioned Deterministic Microlens Structures and (111) In(Ga)As Quantum Dots

Аннотация

The results of investigations of the optical characteristics of nonclassical light sources based on selectively positioned microlens structures and single (111) In(Ga)As quantum dots grown on a (111) BGaAs substrate are presented. The single-photon nature of the radiation is confirmed by measuring and analyzing second-order correlation functions g⁽²⁾(τ); g⁽²⁾(0) = 0.07. The fine structure of the exciton states of (111) In(Ga)As quantum dots is investigated. It is shown that, in the energy range of 1.320–1.345 eV, the splitting of exciton states is comparable to the natural width of the exciton lines, which is of interest for developing photon-pair emitters based on them.
