For the application of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) as non-classical light sources in communication networks, single-photon emission at 1.55 µm, corresponding to the glass fiber and atmospheric transmission window known as the telecom C-band, is vital. While the desired QD emission is achievable in the InAs/InP-system, the InP substrate quality and cost as well as the absence of an efficient binary distributed Bragg reflector structure prevents an application in the industrial scale. The starting point is our success in showing single-photon emission at 1.55 µm with resolution-limited linewidths and low fine-structure splitting from InAs QDs grown on an InGaAs metamorphic buffer (MMB). Nevertheless, the MMB quality can still be improved for the integration of the QDs in photonic nanostructures. With the goal to decrease the layer thickness and increase the interface/surface quality, different MMB-designs are studied via AFM, photoluminescence spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. The influence of varied grading profiles, annealing steps and total thickness on the formation of dislocations, lattice relaxation and surface texture is discussed.
