AI 中文摘要
半导体量子点(QDs)是实现光子量子技术用明亮、波长可调谐的单光子及纠缠光子对源的领先平台。位点选择纳米线量子点(NWQDs)是可规模化制造此类光子器件的有前景平台,但在保持光子纳米线垂直生长几何结构的同时,在其周围集成额外结构仍是一项挑战。本研究开发了一种确定性拾取-放置技术,用于将NWQDs从生长衬底垂直转移至任意模板;利用该转移技术,通过集成底部金反射镜,将光子提取效率提升至75%,并通过在QD周围集成静电栅极,将发射波长调谐3.6 GHz。重要的是,在转移后测得QD发射的低多光子概率(g^(2)(0)=0.002)和高不可区分性(±100 ps范围内>80%),从而获得了高质量器件。这些结果证明了所开发转移技术的可重复性和通用性,是实现可规模化单光子及纠缠光子源的关键一步。
英文摘要
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are a leading platform for realising bright, wavelength-tunable sources of single and entangled photon pairs for photonic quantum technologies. Site-selected nanowire quantum dots (NWQDs) are a promising platform for fabricating such photonic devices in a scalable manner. However, implementing additional structures around the photonic nanowire while maintaining its vertical growth geometry has remained a challenge. In this work, we develop a deterministic pick-and-place technique to conduct a vertical-to-vertical transfer of NWQDs from the growth substrate to arbitrary templates. Using this transfer technique, we enhance the photon extraction efficiency to 75% by implementing a bottom gold mirror and tune the emission wavelength by 3.6 GHz via implementing electrostatic gates around the QD. Importantly, we measure low-multiphoton probability (g^(2)(0) = 0.002) and high indistinguishability (>80% for +/-100 ps) of the QD emission after the transfer process, yielding high-quality devices. These results demonstrate the repeatability and versatility of the developed transfer technique, which is an enabling step towards scalable single and entangled photon sources.
