Strain-tunable quantum dot embedded in a nanowire antenna

Strain-tunable quantum dot embedded in a nanowire antenna

We demonstrate an elastically tunable self-assembled quantum dot in a nanowire antenna that emits single photons with resolution-limited spectral linewidths. The single-photon device is composed of a single quantum dot embedded in a top-down fabricated nanowire waveguide integrated onto a piezoelectric actuator. Nonresonant excitation leads to static (fluctuating) charges likely …
