Epitaxial growth SPSs G. Leménager : ROOM TEMPERATURE POLARIZED SINGLE PHOTON SOURCE WITH A COLLOIDAL DOT IN ROD. Epitaxial or colloidal artificial atoms? Colloidal SPSs [2] • Stranski-Krastanow growth • Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) /Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) • efficient electrical injection by p-n doping of the surrounding heterostructure • Expensive techniques required • Room-temperature emission from single QD difficult to be achieved due to phonons energy comparable with allowed energy levels distance • Higher distance among allowed energy states in conduction and valence bands: intense emission also at room temperature • Broad tunable emission range • Low costs and versatile synthesis procedures • Blinking • Not collimated and not polarized emission Y.

G. Leménager : ROOM TEMPERATURE POLARIZED SINGLE PHOTON SOURCE WITH A COLLOIDAL DOT IN ROD. Conclusion • The polarization properties of a single, isolated dot in rod are presented • We show that a single dot in a rod is a polarized single photon source • The degree of polarization of the emission around 80% • We show the possibility to identify the orientation of a single Dot-in-Rod • We propose a strategy to implement the sender site in a device F.
