A quantum dot in a semiconductor nanowire represents an attractive platform for an efficient single-photon source. While demonstrations so far have mainly been for III-V materials, the II-VI platform offers the possibility of room-temperature operation, where CdSe quantum dots inserted in ZnSe nanowires have demonstrated the ability to emit single photons at 300 K.
In this work, we present a bottom-up approach to fabricate a photonic nanowire-like structure around such CdSe quantum dots by depositing an oxide shell using atomic-layer deposition. Simulations suggest that the intensity collected in a 0.6 NA microscope objective can be increased by a factor 7 with respect to the bare nanowire case. Combining micro-photoluminescence, decay time measurements, and numerical simulations, we obtain a fourfold increase in the collected photoluminescence from the quantum dot. We show that this improvement is due to an increase of the quantum-dot emission rate and a redirection of the emitted light.
