Autocorrelation measurements are used to reveal the spectral diffusion time scale in the single photon emission of a GaN interface fluctuation quantum dot. Typical characteristic diffusion times of such QDs are revealed to be of nanosecond order. The excitation power dependence of the diffusion rate is also investigated, whereby an increase in the diffusion rate with increasing excitation power is observed. This result provides information on experimental conditions that will be required for the generation of indistinguishable photons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
