Bright Polarized Single-Photon Source Based on a Linear Dipole.
S. E. Thomas,M. Billard,N. Coste,S. C. Wein,Priya,H. Ollivier,Olivier Krebs,L. Tazaïrt,A. Harouri,Aristide Lemaître,Isabelle Sagnes,Carlos Antón,Loïc Lanco,Loïc Lanco,N. Somaschi,J. C. Loredo,Pascale Senellart +16 more
TL;DR: This work harnessing the intrinsic linear dipole in a neutral quantum dot via phonon-assisted excitation enables emission of fully polarized single photons, with a measured degree of linear polarization up to 0.994±0.007, and high population inversion-85% as high as resonant excitation.

Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference with Imperfect Single Photon Sources.
H. Ollivier,S. E. Thomas,S. C. Wein,I. Maillette de Buy Wenniger,N. Coste,J. C. Loredo,N. Somaschi,A. Harouri,Aristide Lemaître,Isabelle Sagnes,Loïc Lanco,Loïc Lanco,Christoph Simon,Carlos Antón,Olivier Krebs,Pascale Senellart +15 more
TL;DR: This study explores both theoretically and experimentally how unwanted multiphoton components of single-photon sources affect the interference visibility, and finds that the overlap between the single photons and the noise photons significantly impacts the interference.
