Near optimal single photon sources in the solid-state

Researchers at C2N, in collaboration with Institut Néel (Grenoble, France) and University of Queensland (Australia), have fabricated single photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots of unprecedented quality. They succeeded in combining a unique technique invented in 2008 to position a quantum dot at the center of a micropillar acting as an optical cavity and an electrical control to remove the charge noise. They demonstrated the controlled …

Controlling carbon nanotube photoluminescence using silicon microring resonators

By depositing carbon nanotubes on ring-shaped micro-resonators, researchers at C2N (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) managed to control the light emitted by the nanotubes. This technology could be optimized for future applications in optical telecommunications or integrated circuits for microelectronics. This work was published in the journal Nanotechnology.
