摘要
We report the development of a light source delivering triggered single photons. based on a single InAs quantum dot embedded in a micropillar cavity. The single photon emission emerging from a single quantum dot is characterized by a strong antibunching in photon correlation measurements. We also demonstrate that an efficient collection of the single photon train can be achieved by exploiting the coupling of the emission into high Q modes of a micropillar cavity. Moreover, we show that the coupling to polarized cavity modes permits quantum state preparation (same spatial mode and same polarization) of the single photons. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
