We report on the in-depth optical characterization of red-emitting site-controlled InP/GaInP Quantum Dots. In order to prove the long-range ordering of the buried emitters scanning cathodoluminescence with a high spatial resolution was performed, revealing a yield of ≈ 90% of optically active QDs on the pre-determined positions and the absence of emitters on interstitial positions. Polarization dependent investigations on the emission of single QDs show a pronounced degree of linear polarization along the (1-10) crystal axis with an average degree of polarization as large as 80%. Photon correlation measurements of the biexcitonic and excitonic emission of a single dot are employed to reveal the single-photon character of each emission line as well as the cascaded nature of the photon pair emission.
