Abstract
The development of photonic-based quantum information technologies depends on the availability of devices that consistently, and with high efficiency, deterministically emit identical single photons. Furthermore, a key requirement for the implementation of fiber-based quantum secured communication protocols demands that these sources be compatible with optical fiber networks operating in the low-loss telecom C-band (λ ~ 1550 nm). Semiconductor quantum dot emitters offer on-demand operation at high rates and can be incorporated into photonic structures that allow for high efficiency collection. Through composition engineering of InAs_(x)P_(1-x) dot-in-a-rod (DROD) nanowire quantum dot structures we have previously demonstrated single photon emission from wavelengths of up to the telecom O-band. Here we show how the DROD structure can be modified to shift emission wavelength to the telecom C-band with single-photon purities of g(2)(0) = 0.062. Through further optimization of these structures, we aim to dramatically increase source brightness with the long-term goal of developing scalable and efficient C-band emitting site-selected single-photon sources.
