| Abstract | Photonics-based quantum information technologies require efficient, high emission rate sources of single photons. Position-controlled quantum dots embedded within a broadband nanowire waveguide provide a fully scalable route to fabricating highly efficient single-photon sources. However, emission rates for single-photon devices are limited by radiative recombination lifetimes. Here, we demonstrate a multiplexed single-photon source based on a multidot nanowire. Using epitaxially grown nanowires, we incorporate multiple energy-tuned dots, each optimally positioned within the nanowire waveguide, providing single photons with high efficiency. This linear scaling of the single-photon emission rate with number of emitters is demonstrated using a five-dot nanowire with an average multiphoton emission probability of <4% when excited at saturation. This represents the first ever demonstration of multiple single-photon emitters deterministically incorporated in a single photonic device and is a major step toward achieving GHz single-photon emission rates from a scalable multi-quantum-dot system. |
