• Abstract summary: We show broadband polarization-selective enhancement by coupling a quantum dot to an elliptical bullseye resonator. We report bright single-photon emission with a degree of linear polarization of 96%, Purcell factor of 3.9, and count rates up to 3 MHz. Results represent an important step towards practical integration of optimal quantum dot photon sources in deployment-ready setups.

• Abstract: Semiconductor quantum dots are promising candidates for the generation of nonclassical light. Coupling a quantum dot to a device capable of providing polarization-selective enhancement of optical transitions is highly beneficial for advanced functionalities such as efficient resonant driving schemes or applications based on optical cyclicity. Here, we demonstrate broadband polarization-selective enhancement by coupling a quantum dot emitting in the telecom O-band to an elliptical bullseye resonator. We report bright single-photon emission with a degree of linear polarization of 96%, Purcell factor of 3.9, and count rates up to 3 MHz. Furthermore, we present a measurement of two-photon interference without any external polarization filtering and demonstrate compatibility with compact Stirling cryocoolers by operating the device at temperatures up to 40 K. These results represent an important step towards practical integration of optimal quantum dot photon sources in deployment-ready setups.

  We propose a scheme to realize arbitrary polarization manipulation of a single photon by integrating a single quantum emitter in a photonic waveguide. The proposed polarization converter has several advantages, including arbitrary polarization conversion for any input polarization, tunable working frequency, excellent anti-dissipation ability with high conversion efficiency, and atomic-scale size.
