Fast quantum dot single photon source triggered at telecommunications wavelength
Abstract
We demonstrate a quantum dot single photon source at 900 nm triggered at 100 MHz by a continuous wave telecommunications wavelength laser followed by an electro-optic modulator. The quantum dot is excited by on-chip-generated second harmonic radiation, resonantly enhanced by a GaAs photonic crystal cavity surrounding the InAs quantum dot. Our result suggests a path toward the realization of telecommunications wavelength-compatible quantum dot single photon sources with speeds exceeding 1 GHz.
