Abstract :
Recent years have shown tremendous progress in the fabrication of single photon sources (SPS) based on quantum dots (QDs) embedded in semiconductor micro and nanocavities which are of interest for applications in quantum information science. Here we will review our recent work on high-frequency single photon sources operating at single photon emission rates above 100MHz. To effectively harvest the radiative recombination of QD excitons and to overcome the total internal reflection losses of high index semiconductor materials the emission can be coupled into a cavity mode.
