The miniaturization of optical elements to chip-size in so-called photonic integrated circuits has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Due to its great scalability, the approach seems highly promising for the efficient realization of photon-based quantum technologies.
In this study, we show the coupling of an In(Ga)As quantum dot (QD) to a waveguide-integrated cavity. The chip is bonded to a piezoelectric actuator, enabling the strain-tuning of both the emission energy of the QD and the cavity mode. As the QD is more sensitive to the applied strain, a differential tuning factor of four is obtained, allowing to compensate the initial energy mismatch of the QD and the cavity. A clear Purcell-enhancement as well as the single-photon emission of the device are demonstrated. This combination of a strain-tunable quantum emitter and a waveguide-integrated cavity represents an important building block for large scale quantum photonic circuits.
