• Abstract: Epitaxial GaAs quantum dots grown by droplet etching have recently shown excellent properties as sources of single photons as well as entangled photon pairs. Integration in some nanophotonic structures requires surface-to-dot distances of less than 100 nm. This demands a surface passivation scheme, which could be useful to lower the density of surface states. To address this issue, sulphur passivation with dielectric overlayer as an encapsulation is used for surface to QD distances of 40 nm, which results in the partial recovery of emission linewidths to bulk values as well as in the increase of the photoluminescence intensity.

  Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) single photon emitters offer numerous advantages to quantum information applications. Traditional materials used for the fabrication of nanoresonators, such as silicon or gallium phosphide (GaP), often require a high refractive index substrate. Here, we use nanoantennas (NAs) fabricated from multilayer TMDs, which allow complete flexibility with the choice of substrate.

  This study investigates aluminum nitride (AlN) as a material with properties highly suitable for integrated on-chip photonics. We conduct a comprehensive study of the creation and photophysical properties of single-photon emitters in AlN utilizing Zirconium (Zr) and Krypton (Kr) heavy ion implantation. With the 532 nm excitation wavelength, we found that single-photon emitters induced by ion implantation are primarily associated with vacancy-type defects in the AlN lattice for both Zr and Kr ions.
