Exciton dynamics in current-injected single quantum dot at 1.55μm

Abstract: We investigate the exciton dynamics in a current-injected single InAs quantum dot (QD) which emits 1.55μm photons. Photon antibunching behavior is observed using a single electroluminescence line of a single QD. The radiative lifetime of this line determined by time-resolved measurement is 1.59ns. The single exciton recombination time agrees with the lifetime calculated with an eight-band kp model. We examine a high drive rate operation of the device by changing the delay time between two electrical pulses. Th… Show more

“…Recently, investigations on single photon emission from semiconductor quantum dots ͑QDs͒ have concentrated on electrical pumping, [4][5][6][7] high repetition rates, 8 telecommunication wavelengths, [9][10][11][12][13] high temperature operation 14 and emission stability. 15 From a practical point of view, it is desirable to have a "plug and play" type, stable single photon source at telecommunication wavelengths, ideally with a high repetition rate.…”

“…The lifetime obtained with a single exponential fit is about 1.5Ϯ 0.2 ns, which is similar to the other results on InAs QD with a confocal system. 4,9,6 For the two-pulse measurement, two optical pulses are combined into the input fiber and the separation between the two pulses is controlled by a motorized translation stage. The delay time between two pulses varies between 5 and 1 ns, corresponding to driving rates between 0.2 and 1 GHz.…”

“…The two pulse events can be resolved from 1 ns separation; However, most of them are overlapped. An output ratio has been introduced to show the output photon pulse rate [14], which is the counts produced by the first pulse, measured before the next excitation pulse arrives divided by the total emitted intensity within a single pulse. Fig.…”

“…In this context, a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) is an attractive singlephoton emitter, which has a nearly perfect radiative yield and a stable emission (no blinking or bleaching). Moreover, it benefits from the maturity of semiconductor technology and can be incorporated into the intrinsic region of a p-i-n structure, to realize a single-photon LED [2][3][4][5][6][7]. For all potential applications, the efficiency ε of the source, defined here as the probability to collect a photon into the first lens of the optical setup, is a key figure of merit.…”
