Tunable single photon emission from dipolaritons

Abstract

We study a system comprising of a double quantum well embedded in a micropillar optical cavity, where strong coupling between a direct exciton, indirect exciton, and cavity photon is achieved. We show that the resulting hybrid quasiparticles - dipolaritons - can induce strong photon correlations and lead to anti-bunched behaviour of the cavity output field. The origin of the observed single photon emission is attributed to unconventional photon blockade. Moreover, we find that the second-order equal time correlation function $g^{(2)}(0)$ can be tuned over a large range using an electric field applied to the structure, or changing the frequency of the pump. This allows for an on-the-flight control of cavity output properties, and is important for the future generation of tunable single photon emission sources.
