摘要
We have measured the correlation of the photon emission from single CdSe quantum dots under pulsed excitation. The results demonstrate that the emission from a single CdSe quantum dot can be used to generate single green photons on demand with subnanosecond accuracy. (C) 2003 Optical Society of America.
