The miniaturization and high-density integration of electronic logic elements into single chip architecture has been a revolutionary development for electronic data processing in the past decades. Nevertheless, in the future perspective to create novel all-optical types of quantum logic structures, the integration of tailored quantum emitters as non-classical light sources into dedicated optical waveguide structures is one of the major aims of research in this field.
Here we report on investigations on multimode GaAs/AlAs waveguides using integrated single InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots as light sources to study the light propagation and beamsplitter operation of the waveguide structures. Our studies reveal waveguide losses of α = 15.7 cm−1, wavelength-dependent beamsplitter ratios around 0.5/0.5, and a photon polarisation of over 90 %. These results represent an important step towards the realization of semiconductor based integrated photonic quantum circuits.
