Abstract :
A single photon source based on fluorescence from single-dye molecules in liquid-crystal hosts manifests itself in observed dye-fluorescence antibunching. 400 to 2200-nm, liquid-crystal 1-D-photonic-bandgap structures will increase the source efficiency using dyes/colloidal-quantum-dots as emitters
