Abstract

The authors demonstrated the polarization-selective influence of the particle plasmon resonance on the radiative rate of single self-assembled quantum dots. The coupling of epitaxially grown dots to nanoantennas opens up the way for steering the directed emission of a single photon source towards, e.g., an optical fiber for long distance communication, or for coupling a dot to a plasmonic nanowire for sub-wavelength optics.
