Title: Properties of InGaAlAs/AlGaAs quantum dots for single photon emission in the near infrared and visible spectral range

Abstract

We have carried out a detailed characterization of individual self-assembled InGaAlAs/AlGaAs quantum dots grown on GaAs substrate and emitting in the 680–780 nm spectral range. Exciton, biexciton and charged exciton emission lines originating from the same quantum dot have been identified, and the biexciton and charged exciton binding energies have been derived to be equal ∼ 5 and ∼ 9 meV, respectively. The second-order photon correlation experiments allowed us to show a clear antibunching for exciton emission with a value of g{sup (2)}(0) = 0.04±0.02, confirming distinctly that such GaAs-based quantum dots can be considered as single photon quantum emitters in the abovementioned wavelength range.
