Spin properties in droplet epitaxy-grown telecom quantum dots

Abstract

We investigate the spin properties of InAs/InGaAs/InP quantum dots grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) deposition using droplet epitaxy, which emit in the telecom C-band. Using pump-probe Faraday ellipticity measurements, we determine electron and hole $g$-factors of $|g_e|=0.934$ and $|g_h|=0.471$, with the electron $g$-factor being nearly twice as low as typical molecular beam epitaxy Stranski-Krastanov (SK) grown samples. Most significantly, we measure a longitudinal spin relaxation time $T_1=2.95\mu s$, representing an order of magnitude improvement over comparable MBE SK grown samples. Despite significant electron $g$-factor anisotropy, we observed that it is reduced relative to similar material composition samples grown with MBE or MOVPE SK methods. We attribute these g-factor anisotropy and spin lifetime improvements to the enhanced structural symmetry achieved via MOVPE droplet epitaxy, which mitigates the inherent structural asymmetry in strain-driven growth approaches for InAs/InP quantum dots. These results demonstrate that MOVPE droplet epitaxy-grown InAs/InGaAs/InP quantum dots exhibit favorable spin properties for potential implementation in quantum information applications.
