Indistinguishable photons from the resonance fluorescence of a single quantum dot in a microcavity
arXiv:0902.3612 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.167402
Abstract
We demonstrate purely resonant continuous-wave optical laser excitation to coherently prepare an excitonic state of a single semiconductor quantum dot (QDs) inside a high quality pillar microcavity. As a direct proof of QD resonance fluorescence, the evolution from a single emission line to the characteristic Mollow triplet10 is observed under increasing pump power. By controlled utilization of weak coupling between the emitter and the fundamental cavity mode through Purcell-enhancement of the radiative decay, a strong suppression of pure dephasing is achieved, which reflects in close to Fourier transform-limited and highly indistinguishable photons with a visibility contrast of 90%. Our experiments reveal the model-like character of the coupled QD-microcavity system as a promising source for the generation of ideal photons at the quantum limit. From a technological perspective, the vertical cavity symmetry -- with optional dynamic tunability -- provides strongly directed light emission which appears very desirable for future integrated emitter devices.
