Abstract :
We measure experimentally and discuss theoretically the intensity temporal correlations between photons from two different spectral lines that an optically excited single, self-assembled semiconductor quantum dot, emits. Surprisingly, consecutive photons are preferably emitted with the same circular polarization.
