Near-Transform-Limited Single Photons from an Efficient Solid-State Quantum Emitter
Near-Transform-Limited Single Photons from an Efficient Solid-State Quantum Emitter
By pulsed $s$-shell resonant excitation of a single quantum dot-micropillar system, we generate long streams of 1000 near-transform-limited single photons with high mutual indistinguishability. The Hong-Ou-Mandel interference of two photons is measured as a function of their emission time separation varying from 13 ns to $14.7\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$, where the …
