The detection and generation of single photons has seen an upsurge in interest in recent
years as new scientific fields of research, for example quantum information processing, have …

This study has clarified aluminium gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) optical source
integrated with fiber links and silicon avalanche photodetectors in fiber optic systems. The …

Recording processes and events that occur on sub-nanosecond timescales poses a difficult
challenge. Conventional ultrafast imaging techniques often rely on long data collection …

A demonstration of the principles of quantum key distribution (QKD) is performed using a
single-photon source in a proof of concept test-bed over a distance of 2 km in standard …

We have studied the whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonances of GaAs/AlGaAs
microcavity pillars containing InAs quantum dots. High quality factor WGMs are observed …

We present the results of calculations of the microcavity mode structure of distributed-Bragg-
reflector (DBR) micro-pillar microcavities of group III-V semiconductor materials. These …

Oxide based Bragg reflector (BR) shells were grown conformally on various curved micro‐
and nanostructures by means of plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition and pulsed …

We demonstrate 1240 nm single-photon emissions from InAs quantum dots (QDs)
embedded in a hybrid pillar microcavity consisting of dielectric and semiconductor …

In this paper we review basic optical properties of II–VI‐based monolithic microcavities with
quantum wells or quantum dots embedded. The epitaxial growth of high‐reflectivity …

The application of quantum key distribution (QKD) has raised particular demands for single-
photon detectors. One of the most promising candidates at the low-loss optical fibre …
