We report on time-resolved microphotoluminescence and photon correlation measurements of single epitaxially-grown self-assembled CdSe/ZnSe quantum dots. The structures are excited with a modelocked Er:fiber laser which is tunable between 500 nm and 700 nm. In contrast to previous works, which used ultraviolet light for excitation, we are able to resonantly pump low-lying excited states in individual quantum dots. We present time-resolved photoluminescence measurements on single dots revealing the spontaneous emission decay from the different finestructure split states. With a Hanbury-Brown and Twiss setup we are able to demonstrate photon antibunching of these nanoemitters. We will compare the time-resolved data with cw measurements of the photon statistics.
