Abstract

Quantum photonics benefits from the scientific advances in the development of quantum light sources. To gain inside into the underlying physical processes of light generation, we use photon-number-resolving (PNR) transition edge sensors (TESs), which are able to directly access the photon-number distribution of nanophotonic devices. We present results on the transition from thermal to coherent emission of two different classes of microlasers: electrically driven bimodal quantum dot micropillar lasers and exciton polariton lasers. Furthermore, the photon number distribution of deterministically fabricated quantum dot based single-photon sources is investigated to explore the single-photon purity and indistinguishability of photons emitted by these sources.
