This work investigates the single-photon emissions from self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots that are grown on an apex plane of a GaAs pyramid-like multifaceted structure. The number of QDs on a multifaceted structure is estimated by scanning electron microscopy. Single-exciton emissions from individual quantum dots are examined by micro-photoluminescence and by making photon correlation measurements. This experiment demonstrates the improvement of the single-photon extraction efficiency as quantum dots are grown on a reduced apex plane of a multifaceted structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
