Interference between quantum-dot emitted single photons and weak coherent states

Quantum 2.0 Conference and Exhibition, pp. QM5B.2

Abstract

We determine the mean wavepacket overlap between single photons emitted from a quantum dot device and a weak coherent state from a pulsed laser using auto- and cross-correlation measurements, reaching an 82% mode match.
