A Single Photon Source Model Based on Quantum Dot and Microcavity

The authors report a single photon source model which consists on InAs/GaAs pyramidal Quantum Dot (QD) model based on effective mass theory to calculate the emitted photons energies. They explain the choice of geometrics parameters of QD to obtain emission at 1550 nm. This quantum dot must be embedded on a micro-cavity to improve the live time of photon at 1550nm and inhibit the others photons to increase the probability to obtain only one emitted photon.
