- Abstract: Most quantum communication schemes aim at the long-distance transmission of
quantum information. In the quantum repeater concept, the transmission line is
subdivided into shorter links interconnected by entanglement distribution via
Bell-state measurements to overcome inherent channel losses. This concept
requires on-demand single-photon sources with a high degree of multi-photon
suppression and high indistinguishability within each repeater node. For a
successful operation of the repeater, a spectral matching of remote quantum
light sources is essential. We present a spectrally tunable single-photon
source emitting in the telecom O-band with the potential to function as a
building block of a quantum communication network based on optical fibers. A
thin membrane of GaAs embedding InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) is attached onto a
piezoelectric actuator via gold thermocompression bonding. Here the thin gold
layer acts simultaneously as an electrical contact, strain transmission medium
and broadband backside mirror for the QD-micromesa. The nanofabrication of the
QD-micromesa is based on in-situ electron-beam lithography, which makes it
possible to integrate pre-selected single QDs deterministically into the center
of monolithic micromesa structures. The QD pre-selection is based on distinct
single-QD properties, signal intensity and emission energy. In combination with
strain-induced fine tuning this offers a robust method to achieve spectral
resonance in the emission of remote QDs. We show that the spectral tuning has
no detectable influence on the multi-photon suppression with $g^{(2)}(0)$ as
low as 2-4% and that the emission can be stabilized to an accuracy of 4 $\mu$eV
using a closed-loop optical feedback.
