The deterministic generation of entangled photon pairs is of special interest for applications in quantum communication and computation. As many experiments focus on entanglement in the polarization base, energy-time entangled photons used for Franson interference offer the advantage of high robustness in long-distance fiber transmission. We report on Franson measurements performed in cw mode on the resonantly driven biexciton cascade of a deterministically fabricated quantum dot device. The two-photon visibility of such a three-level system crucially dependents on the decay rates of the ideally long upper- and short living intermediate state [1]. A relation hard to achieve for the biexciton cascade, where the lifetime of the biexciton state is usually short compared to the exciton state. Nevertheless, our measurements yield a high two-photon visibility up to (73 ± 2)%, surpassing the CHSH inequality of 70.7% [2]. This result demonstrates the high potential of generating energy time entangled photons in a resonantly driven biexciton cascade.
