Abstract

Using mathematical simulation methods, various versions of the design of electrically-driven single photon sources based on optical microcavities with single quantum dots are investigated. A version of the design of a source of single photons of the 1.3-μm spectral range with intracavity contacts and several oxide-confined apertures layers is proposed, which provides an almost twofold increase in the efficiency of photon coupling to a standard single-mode optical fiber in comparison with a widely used design based on a circular micropillar cavity.
