In an optical quantum network it is desirable to have trigged quantum light sources that emit single photons with exactly the same wavelength. Previous work has realized two photon interference of the emission from two self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). The key is to use giant Stark shift to tune the emissions [Nat. Photon. 4, 632 (2010)]. However the design is cumbersome for the purpose of electrical injection. Here we demonstrate an electrically driven, wavelength tunable singlephoton source utilizing self-assembled InAs/GaAs QDs embedded in a p-i-n light-emitting diode (LED). Triggered single-photon emission is realized by applying ultra-short electrical pulses to the LED, while the wavelength of the emitted single photons is precisely controlled (> 10meV) by external biaxial stresses applied to the LED. We also characterize the decay dynamics of the excitonic states and the pulsed single-photon emission [g2(t)] in this device. Our technique therefore presents strong promise for the realization of two photon interference from separated electrically injected single-photon sources.
