Design and optimization of In(Ga)As quantum dot single photon source based on air gap structure
In order to enhance the light extraction efficiency of semiconductor quantum dot single photon sources, we have innovatively designed an In(Ga)As quantum dot single photon source with air gap structure. By introducing circular air gap in the structure of the hemispherical microlens coupled with the gold mirror, the light extraction efficiency and extraction bandwidth of the single-photon source are significantly improved. Results show that the device improves the light extraction efficiency by approximately 17 % at numerical aperture of 0.6. Further optimization of the structural parameters shows that the air gap single photon source obtains maximum light extraction efficiency of 72 % at 930 nm and high extraction bandwidth of 60 nm. In addition, the design has a good tolerance for geometric errors and is able to maintain a high optical extraction efficiency within large geometric errors, which is very favorable for device fabrication.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
