説明:
(abstract)Solid-state single photon sources are central building blocks in quantum communication networks and on-chip quantum information processing. Atomically thin crystals and layered van-der-Waals materials emerged as possible candidates to emit non-classical states of light. However, the performance of monolayer-based single photon sources has so far been lacking behind state-of-the-art devices based on volume crystals. Here, we implement a single photon source based on an atomically thin sheet of WSe2 coupled to a spectrall tunable optical cavity. We harness the vibrational stability of our open cavity single photon source, which allows us to operate it in a liquid helium-free cryostat without further need for stabilization routines. Its performance is characterized by a high single photon purity with a g(2)(0) value as low as 4.7 ± 0.7 % and a record-high, directly measured first lens brightness of linearly polarized photons as large as 65 ± 4 % as a decisive step towards real-world quantum applications. Interestingly, the high performance of our devices allows us to observe genuine quantum interference phenomena in a Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment. Our results thus demonstrate that open cavities and two-dimensional materials constitute an excellent platform for ultra-bright quantum light sources: the unique properties of such two-dimensional materials and the versatility of open cavities open an inspiring avenue for novel quantum optoelectronic devices.
