Abstract:
The emission characteristics of a source of single photons based on an epitaxial heterostructure with CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots and a cylindrical waveguide with a varying cross section formed in a resist layer by electron-beam lithography are investigated. It is shown that a flux of single photons at a wavelength of $530$ nm with an average rate of about $1$ MHz and the value ${g}^{(2)}(0)=0.15\pm0.03.$ of the second-order correlation function at zero delay can be generated under optical pumping at $80$ K.
