Review: Semiconductor Quantum Light Sources
read the original abstract
Lasers and LEDs display a statistical distribution in the number of photons emitted in a given time interval. New applications exploiting the quantum properties of light require sources for which either individual photons, or pairs, are generated in a regulated stream. Here we review recent research on single-photon sources based on the emission of a single semiconductor quantum dot. In just a few years remarkable progress has been made in generating indistinguishable single-photons and entangled photon pairs using such structures. It suggests it may be possible to realise compact, robust, LED-like semiconductor devices for quantum light generation.

Optimization of circular cavities via guided-mode expansion method based inverse design
An inverse design framework based on guided-mode expansion and automatic differentiation optimizes a non-periodic circular cavity to a quality factor of ~9000 with Gaussian-like far-field emission, an order of magnitu...
