For many applications in quantum information single-photons on demand are desirable. Electrically driven semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are a promising solution due to their tailorable emission energy and the integration in well-known semiconductor devices.

Pulsed lasers afford an almost instantaneous excitation of the QDs compared to their decay time. In contrast, electrical pulse generators feature pulsewidths only down to several 10 ps. Therefore we determine the influence of the excitation pulses on the purity of single-photon emission from InP/GaInP quantum dots. For rising widths we observe an increasing g(2)(0) - value, which we relate to an increasing probability of further excitations during one single cycle. Using autocorrelation measurements with high temporal resolution we can distinguish the background contribution from re-excitation processes on the non-vanishing g(2)(0)-value. Theoretical investigations are in a good agreement with the experimental results.
