We use photon correlation measurements to study blinking in single, epitaxially-grown self-assembled InAs quantum dots situated in circular Bragg grating and microdisk cavities. The normalized second-order correlation function g(2)(\tau) is studied across eleven orders of magnitude in time, and shows signatures of blinking over timescales ranging from tens of nanoseconds to tens of milliseconds. The g(2)(\tau) data is fit to a multi-level system rate equation model that includes multiple non… Expand

The temporal fluctuations in peak energy of photoluminescence can be effectively suppressed by strong illumination and it is found that the dot emission exhibits stable non-classical nature with the strong anti-bunching behavior after this stabilization. Expand
Combined atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence imaging to select single InAs/GaAs quantum dots for quantum photonic devices
It is found that single quantum dots often appear in the vicinity of comparatively large topographic features, and it is anticipated that the approach of screening quantum dots not only based on their optical properties, but also their surrounding surface topographies, will be necessary to improve the yield of single quantum dot nanophotonic devices.

Photoluminescence imaging is used to locate the positions of single InAs/GaAs quantum dots with respect to alignment marks with < 5 nm uncertainty, allowing us to measure their behavior before and after fabrication, and it is shown that atomic layer deposition can stabilize spectral diffusion of the quantum dot emission, and partially recover its linewidth.
