Abstract

We investigate the indistinguishability of single photons generated from strain-free GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots using pulsed resonance fluorescence techniques. In pulsed two-photon interference measurements we observe a single photon indistinguishability with a raw visibility of 95%. This can be traced back to the short intrinsic lifetime of excitons and trions confined in the GaAs quantum dots and demonstrates that for this material system the generation of single photons is possible with near-unity indistinguishability even without Purcell enhancement.
