• Abstract: Single-photons with high spectro-temporal purity are an essential resource for quantum photonic technologies. The highest reported purity up until now from a conventional silicon photonic device is 92% without any spectral filtering. We have experimentally generated and observed single-photons with 98.0+-0.3 % spectro-temporal purity using a conventional micro racetrack resonator and an engineered dual pump pulse.

• Filter-free high-performance single photon emission from a quantum dot in a Fabry-Perot microcavity [11.420650731006665]
  Resonant excitation with Purcell-enhanced single quantum dots (QDs) is a prominent strategy for realizing high performance solid-state single photon sources. Traditionally, this involves polarization filtering, which limits the achievable polarization directions and the scalability of photonic states. We have successfully tackled this challenge by employing spatially-orthogonal resonant excitation of QDs, deterministically coupled to monolithic Fabry-Perot microcavities. The resulting source produces single photons with a simultaneous high extraction efficiency of 0.87, purity of 0.9045(4), and indistinguishability of 0.963(4).
