Combining a solid-state quantum dot (QD) with an atomic memory is a promising hybrid-system for application in quantum communication [1]. Coupling the QD to a quantum memory, such as a Rb-memory, can circumvent the short coherence time of QDs. For coupling both systems, the photons emitted by the QD have to match the atomic ensemble in bandwidth and frequency [2,3].
We use droplet-etched GaAs QDs embedded in AlGaAs as a source of coherent single photons and present two different methods to match the Rb-frequency of 794 nm: Applying mechanical strain to the material [4] and applying an electric field to the QD which is embedded in a diode structure [5,6].
