Abstract

We report the experimental demonstration of the single-photon interference of bidirectionally extracted photons from epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots. The quantum dots were directly connected to single-mode optical fibers. Single-photon nature between transmission and reflection directions was confirmed through detection of antibunching in second-order photon correlation measurements. A Mach–Zehnder interferometer that was naturally formed by introducing the two outputs into a 2 x 2-fiber coupler was used to perform first-order photon correlation measurements.
