摘要
In this work,we achieve high count-rate single-photon output in single-mode(SM)optical fiber.Epitaxial and dilute InAs/GaAs quantum dots(QDs)are embedded in a GaAs/AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflector(DBR)with a micro-pillar cavity,so as to improve their light emission extraction in the vertical direction,thereby enhancing the optical SM fiber’s collection capabil-ity(numerical aperture:0.13).By tuning the temperature precisely to make the quantum dot exciton emission resonant to the micro-pillar cavity mode(Q~1800),we achieve a fiber-output single-photon count rate as high as 4.73×10^(6) counts per second,with the second-order auto-correlation g2(0)remaining at 0.08.
