Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots are excellent emitters of single photons. Often, the same mode is used to resonantly excite a QD and to collect the emitted single-photons, requiring cross polarization to separate out scattered laser light. This reduces the source brightness to ≤50%, and potentially eliminates their use in some quantum applications. We demonstrate a resonant-excitation approach to creating single photons that is free of any filtering whatsoever. This integrated device allows us to resonantly excite single quantum-dot states in several cavities in the plane of the device using connected cavity-waveguides, while the cavity-enhanced single-photon fluorescence is directed vertically (off-chip) in a Gaussian mode.
