Abstract
Quantum dots reaching the best performances as non-classical light emitters are based on the GaAs platform. The main drawback is their natural emission wavelength, generally around 800-900 nm, so not suitable for fibre-based experiments. In this talk we will discuss two approaches to reach the telecom C-band, within the maximum transmission window of silica fibers. On the one hand, the use of quantum frequency conversion will enable the use of non-linear processes to transfer the high quality NIR photons to any other wavelength, here 1550 nm [1]. On the other hand, growth engineering can be utilized to modify size and strain conditions of the quantum dot, enabling the emission at telecom O- and C-band with the same dot stoichiometry as for the NIR ones [2].
