The intrinsic fine structure splittings (FSSs) of the exciton states of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are known to be the major obstacle for realizing the QD-based entangled photon pair emitters. In this study, we present a theoretical and computational investigation of the excitonic fine structures of droplet-epitaxial (DE) GaAs/AlGaAs QDs under the electro-mechanical control of micro-machined piezoelectricity actuators. From the group theory analysis with numerical confirmation based on…

Using theoretical modeling of the fundamental causes of FSS in QDs, it is predicted that the intrinsic FSS of InAs/InP QDs is an order of magnitude smaller than that of In as/GaAs dots, and, better yet, their excitonic gap matches the 1.55 microm fiber optic wavelength and, therefore, offers efficient on-demand entangled photon emitters for long distance quantum communication.
