Abstract

AbstractWe investigated the indistinguishability of photons emitted by single self‐assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) coupled to the fundamental mode (FM) of a pillar microcavity. By systematic pre‐characterization, optimum conditions with respect to fast radiative decay (Purcell enhancement), long coherence time, and close to background‐free single‐photon emission have been derived. For different spectral detunings between QD and FM emission, Hong‐Ou‐Mandel‐type (HOM) two‐photon interference has been measured as a function of temporal photon wavepacket overlap. Detailed analysis of our data (under consideration of setup limitations) anticipates the generation of highly indistinguishable photons with up to VHOM = 0.82 visibility.
