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.

Driving-Dependent Damping of Rabi Oscillations in Two-Level Semiconductor Systems

TL;DR: Calculated results are found in quite good agreement with available experimental measurements and show that the damping of Rabi oscillations might occur as a result of different dephasing mechanisms for both stationary and nonstationary effects due to coupling to the environment.
