Abstract

The statistics of photon correlations in the emission of single InAs/AlGaAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy and fitted with AlGaAs waveguide nanoantennas for efficient extraction of radiation is investigated. A single-photon source for the red spectral range with an average emission rate exceeding 5 MHz and a zero-delay second-order correlation function of g(2)(0) = 0.08 is realized on the basis of these photonic nanostructures. The degree of indistinguishability of consecutively emitted photons measured in Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry under above-barrier excitation is about 30%.
