(author), Zwiller, V. (author), Suemune, I. (author)We report the experimental demonstration of single-photon and cascaded photon pair emission in the infrared, originating from a single InAsP quantum dot embedded in a standing InP nanowire. A regular array of nanowires is fabricated by epitaxial growth on an electron-beam patterned substrate. Photoluminescence spectra taken on single quantum...journal article 2010

Van Kouwen, M.P. (author), Van Weert, M.H.M. (author), Reimer, M.E. (author), Akopian, N. (author), Perinetti, U. (author), Algra, R.E. (author), Bakkers, E.P.A.M. (author), Kouwenhoven, L.P. (author), Zwiller, V. (author)We report InP nanowire photodetectors with a single InAsP quantum dot as light absorbing element. With excitation above the InP band gap, the nanowire photodetectors are efficient (quantum efficiency of 4%). Under resonant excitation of the quantum dot, the photocurrent amplitude depends on the linear polarization direction of the incident light...journal article 2010

Perinetti, U. (author), Akopian, N. (author), Samsonenko, Y.B. (author), Bouravleuv, A.D. (author), Cirlin, G.E. (author), Zwiller, V. (author)We report on optical studies of single InAs quantum dots grown on vicinal GaAs(001) surfaces. To ensure low quantum dot density and appropriate size, we deposit InAs layers 1.4 or 1.5 ML thick, thinner than the critical thickness for Stranski–Krastanov quantum dot formation. These dots show sharp and bright photoluminescence. Lifetime...journal article 2009
