Optical fibre-based single photon source using InAsP quantum dot nanowires and gradient-index lens collection [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 We present a compact, fibre-coupled single photon source using gradient-index (GRIN) lenses and an InAsP semiconductor quantum dot embedded within an InP photonic nanowire waveguide. A GRIN lens assembly is used to collect photons close to the tip of the

Effect of loss on multiplexed single-photon sources
New Journal of Physics, 2015 An on-demand single-photon source is a key requirement for scaling many optical quantum technologies. A promising approach to realize an on-demand single-photon source is to multiplex an array of heralded single-photon sources using an active optical ...

Room-temperature single-photon source with near-millisecond built-in memory [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Room-temperature single photon sources with memory capabilities are promising for quantum information processing, but are currently limited in their memory time or photon purity. Here, the authors report single photon emission with good antibunching from

An all-silicon single-photon source by unconventional photon blockade. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 The lack of suitable quantum emitters in silicon and silicon-based materials has prevented the realization of room temperature, compact, stable, and integrated sources of single photons in a scalable on-chip architecture, so far.

Pure single photons from a trapped atom source
New Journal of Physics, 2016 Single atoms or atom-like emitters are the purest source of single photons, they are intrinsically incapable of multi-photon emission. To demonstrate this degree of photon number-state purity we have realized a single-photon source using a single ion ...
