Resonantly driven quantum two-level transitions in quantum dots are promising single-photon sources [1]. Here, we demonstrate that they can surprisingly also operate in a two-photon bundling regime. Specifically, when exciting with a 2pi pulse emission of a photon during the presence of the laser pulse restarts the Rabi oscillation and leads to a second emission of a photon with near-unity probability [2,3]. Finally, we demonstrate single-photon generation from self-assembled quantum dots with ultra-low multi-photon probability. Using two-photon excitation of the bi-exciton suppresses the re-excitation and improves the single photon purity by several orders of magnitude for short pulses [4].
