The Technology
Known single photon sources are hard to make and demands high vacuum and high temperatures. As such their production costs are extremally high. Moreover they need to be placed or fabricated on top of a photonic waveguiding structure.
A novel 3D printing method of single CsPbBr3 crystals quantum dots encapsulated in polymeric matrices was developed. The polymeric matrix enables accurate positioning and enhances the stability of the QDs and thus serve as efficient single photon sources.
The single-photon emitters in the self-drawn fiber waveguide can be positioned with micrometric resolution and a single mode, single photon directional source can be produced
