Single photon emission of a charge-tunable GaAs/Al0.25Ga0.75As droplet quantum dot device
Abstract
In this work, we report the fabrication of a charge-tunable GaAs/Al0.25Ga0.75As quantum dot (QD) device containing QDs deposited by modified droplet epitaxy producing almost strain and composition gradient free QDs. We obtained a QD density in the low 109 cm-2 range that enables us to perform spectroscopy on single droplet QDs showing linewidths as narrow as 40 μeV. The integration of the QDs into a Schottky diode allows us to controllably charge a single QD with up to four electrons, while non-classical photoluminescence is proven by photon auto-correlation measurements showing photon-antibunching (g(2)(0) = 0.05).
