Generation of entangled photon pairs from a single quantum dot embedded in a planar photonic-crystal cavity
Generation of entangled photon pairs from a single quantum dot embedded in a planar photonic-crystal cavity
We present a formal theory of single quantum dot coupling to a planar photonic crystal that supports quasidegenerate cavity modes and use this theory to describe and optimize entangled-photon pair generation via the biexciton-exciton cascade. In the generated photon pairs, either both photons are spontaneously emitted from the dot or …
