Abstract

We describe the development and applications of a single-photon source based on a quantum dot embedded in a semiconductor nanowire, which can be precision-tuned to emit ∼1ns long photons at wavelengths that match the transitions of caesium D1 line. We discuss interfacing such single-photon source with atomic ensembles and present our experimental results demonstrating a new method of tuning the emission of the quantum dot by condensing inert gas (N2) on the nanowire. Next, we describe how these single photons at ∼895nm can be efficiently converted to wavelength suitable for satellite QKD links (∼794 nm) and optical fiber links (∼1469 nm) using a laser-cooled atomic ensemble that is loaded and confined inside a hollow-core optical fiber. Lastly, we inroduce our proposal of integrating the semiconductor nanowire with a lensed fiber to create a compact single-photon source with improved photon-collection efficiency compared to conventional setups.
