2002). In GaAs-based LEDs, the high refractive index leads to a low critical angle and only a small fraction of the emitted photons escape the front surface. To enhance by a factor of 10 the efficiency with which the photons are collected from an electrically driven single InAs/GaAs quantum dot, Bennett et al. (2005a) used a planar semiconductor cavity. The device structure is shown in Figure 8. 02As Bragg mirror and a three-wavelength GaAs cavity with a low-density layer of InAs quantum dots positioned one wavelength from the Bragg mirror.
2010). 13 and an overall efficiency Quantum State Engineering 33 around 34% were reported by Heindel et al. (2010). 49P QDs. Nowak et al. (2014) described a micropillar connected to a 25 Â 25 μm2 wide frame through one-dimensional wires. Combining with a diode structure, they demonstrated a deterministic and electrically tunable singlephoton source with an extraction efficiency around 53%. However, the device worked at cryogenic temperatures. The use of a quantum dot embedded in a photonic nanowire and electrically pumped was discussed, claiming that output efficiencies of more than 80% could be achieved (Gregersen, Nielsen, Mørk, Claudon, & Ge´rard, 2010).
If the absorption frequency of a molecule can be changed in some way, for a period of time T, the absorption frequency of the molecule can be set in resonance with a driving continuous wave (cw) laser field. After a time interval T, the absorption frequency of the molecule is changed, in such a way that the emitter is far from resonance, namely the molecule effectively does not interact with the laser field. If T is not too long and not too short compared with the lifetime of the excited state and other parameters of the laser field, a set of control parameters may be designed to generate a few photons.
