Abstract

The single photon emission on a quantum dot formed at fluctuations of the interface of a Gallium arsenide (GaAs) quantum well was discussed. Under pulsed nonresonant excitation, the quantum dots emitted a single photon per pulse. This showed that after the photon emission there was no refill of the dot by the nearby reservoir of delocalized states.
