Single photon sources based on crystalline defects present in transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers, 2D atomically thin direct-bandgap semiconductors, have recently emerged as a promising platform for realization of and use in quantum communication and information processing.
In this work, we investigate the properties of single photon emission from a single exciton in a WSe2 monolayer weakly coupled to an asymmetric plano-concave microcavity consisting of freely movable mirrors in 3 directions. In this regard, it enables us for an in-situ control of the properties of the emission and the extraction efficiency of single photons in the device.
We report a highly bright and linearly polarized single photon source with source brightness exceeding 70 % under saturation conditions, polarization degree of 98.4±1.3 % and high photon purity noted by the second-order correlation g(2)(0) value of 0.047±0.007, measured in Hanbury-Brown-Twist type of a setup.
