Design of circular Bragg resonators in the telecom band for efficient emission of entangled and indistinguishable photons from semiconductor quantum dots — •Dustin Siebert, David Bauch, Klaus D. Jöns, Stefan Schumacher, and Jens Förstner — Electrical Engineering Department, Physics Department, CeOPP and PhoQS, Paderborn University, Germany

The generation of indistinguishable and entangled photons via the biexciton-exciton cascade in semiconductor quantum dots can be tailored by a photonic environment providing an increased emission rate through the Purcell effect and a cavity feedback [1,2].

Circular Bragg resonators exhibit exactly these properties and enable good collection efficiency over a large bandwidth. We developed an optimization strategy based on a two-step process. First, we use a batch of 2D electromagnetic simulations within Bayesian global optimization and finally polish the optimum through Nelder-Mead local optimization based on full 3D simulations.

The optical properties obtained are then used within a quantum mechanical simulation of the carrier dynamics in the semiconductor quantum dots including phonon interaction [3]. After optimization, we achieve a tremendous enhancement of the indistinguishability of the emitted photons even considering that real structures might suffer fabrication imperfections.
