Abstract

We review recent experimental and theoretical results, which highlight the strong interest of the photonic wire (PW) geometry for quantum optics experiments with solid-state emitters, and for quantum optoelectronic devices. By studying single InAs QDs embedded within single-mode cylindrical GaAs PW, we have noticeably observed a very strong (16 fold) inhibition of their spontaneous emission rate in the thin-wire limit, and a nearly perfect funnelling of their spontaneous emission into the guided mode for larger PWs. We present a novel single -photon-source based on the emission of a quantum dot embedded in an engineered PW, comprising a tapered tip so as to control the radiation pattern, and an integrated hybrid bottom mirror. Unlike microcavity-based devices, this source displays for the first time simultaneously a record-high efficiency (0.73 photon per pulse) and a very low g(2) parameter. Numerical simulations show that an efficiency higher than 0.9 can be obtained for optimized structures, under either optical or electrical pumping.
