Site-controlled quantum dots (SCQDs) offer a scalable way to integrate single quantum dots (QDs) into devices like single photon sources or sources of entangled photons. There are different ways to direct the QD nucleation to pre-defined positions. In our work we use ebeam lithography and wet etching of nano-holes into a GaAs (100) substrate to obtain both control over the QD position and high optical quality of the SCQDs. With our approach we can reduce the effect of spectral diffusion that broadens the single SCQD emission.
We present our results on the improved optical quality of site-controlled quantum dots that can be excited either optically or electrically. The linewidth of single SCQD photoluminescence could be reduced to only 38 µeV for above bandgap optical excitation. Furthermore, we show the integration of site-controlled QDs into optical cavities and achieve cavity enhanced emission as well as emission of non-classical light under electrical current injection.
