Optical fibre-based single photon source using InAsP quantum dot nanowires and gradient-index lens collection

Abstract We present a compact, fibre-coupled single photon source using gradient-index (GRIN) lenses and an InAsP semiconductor quantum dot embedded within an InP photonic nanowire waveguide. A GRIN lens assembly is used to collect photons close to the tip of the nanowire, coupling the light immedia...
