On-demand single photon emission in the telecom C-band from nanowire-based quantum dots
Abstract
Single photon sources operating on-demand at telecom wavelengths are required in fiber-based quantum secure communication technologies. In this work we demonstrate single photon emission from position-controlled nanowire quantum dots emitting at λ > 1530 nm. Using above-band pulsed excitation, we obtain single photon purities of g(2)(0) = 0.062. These results represent an important step towards the scalable manufacture of high efficiency, high rate single photon emitters in the telecom C-band.
