Single-photon emission from the natural quantum dots in the InAs/GaAs wetting layer

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Time-resolved microphotoluminescence study is presented for quantum dots which are formed in the InAs/GaAs wetting layer. These dots are due to fluctuations of In composition in the wetting layer. They show spectrally sharp luminescence lines with a low spatial density. We identify lines related to neutral exciton and biexciton as well as trions. Exciton emission antibunching (second order correlation value of g^2(0)=0.16) and biexciton-exciton emission cascade prove non-classical emission from the dots and confirm their potential as single photon sources.
