On-demand semiconductor single-photon source with near-unity indistinguishability

TLDR
Pulsed resonance fluorescence has been anticipated as the optimum condition for the deterministic generation of high-quality photons with vanishing effects of dephasing and is generated from a single, microcavity-embedded quantum dot under s-shell excitation with 3 ps laser pulses.
Abstract
Pulse-excited resonance-fluorescence single-photons are generated on demand from a single quantum dot embedded in a microcavity under s-shell excitation with an ultrafast laser source.

Ultra-coherent single photon source

TL;DR: In this article, a novel type of single photon source in solid state, based on the coherent laser light scattering by a single InAs quantum dot, is presented. And the coherence of the emitted single photons is tailored by the resonant excitation with a spectral linewidth below the radiative limit.
