In high-spatial-resolution photoluminescence experiment, well-resolved sharp spectral lines are observed and single-photon emission is detected in the third telecommunication window characterized by very low multiphoton events probabilities. The photoluminescence spectra measured on simple photonic structures in the form of cylindrical mesas reveal significant intensity enhancement by a factor of 4 when compared to a planar sample. These results are supported by simulations of the electromagnetic field distribution, which show emission extraction efficiencies even above 18\% for optimized designs. When combined with relatively simple and undemanding fabrication approach, it makes this kind of structures competitive with the existing solutions in that spectral range and prospective in the context of efficient and practical single-photon sources for fiber-based quantum networks applications.}, language = {en} } @article{WaldherrLundtKlaasetal.2018, author = {Waldherr, Max and Lundt, Nils and Klaas, Martin and Betzold, Simon and Wurdack, Matthias and Baumann, Vasilij and Estrecho, Eliezer and Nalitov, Anton and Cherotchenko, Evgenia and Cai, Hui and Ostrovskaya, Elena A. and Kavokin, Alexey V. and Tongay, Sefaattin and Klembt, Sebastian and H{\"o}fling, Sven and Schneider, Christian}, title = {Observation of bosonic condensation in a hybrid monolayer MoSe2-GaAs microcavity}, series = {Nature Communications}, volume = {9}, journal = {Nature Communications}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-018-05532-7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-233280}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Bosonic condensation belongs to the most intriguing phenomena in physics, and was mostly reserved for experiments with ultra-cold quantum gases. More recently, it became accessible in exciton-based solid-state systems at elevated temperatures. Here, we demonstrate bosonic condensation driven by excitons hosted in an atomically thin layer of MoSe2, strongly coupled to light in a solid-state resonator. The structure is operated in the regime of collective strong coupling between a Tamm-plasmon resonance, GaAs quantum well excitons, and two-dimensional excitons confined in the monolayer crystal. Polariton condensation in a monolayer crystal manifests by a superlinear increase of emission intensity from the hybrid polariton mode, its density-dependent blueshift, and a dramatic collapse of the emission linewidth, a hallmark of temporal coherence. Importantly, we observe a significant spin-polarization in the injected polariton condensate, a fingerprint for spin-valley locking in monolayer excitons. Our results pave the way towards highly nonlinear, coherent valleytronic devices and light sources.}, language = {en} } @article{WurdackLundtKlaasetal.2017, author = {Wurdack, Matthias and Lundt, Nils and Klaas, Martin and Baumann, Vasilij and Kavokin, Alexey V. and H{\"o}fling, Sven and Schneider, Christian}, title = {Observation of hybrid Tamm-plasmon exciton-polaritons with GaAs quantum wells and a MoSe\(_{2}\) monolayer}, series = {Nature Communications}, volume = {8}, journal = {Nature Communications}, number = {259}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-017-00155-w}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-170480}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Strong light matter coupling between excitons and microcavity photons, as described in the framework of cavity quantum electrodynamics, leads to the hybridization of light and matter excitations. The regime of collective strong coupling arises, when various excitations from different host media are strongly coupled to the same optical resonance. This leads to a well-controllable admixture of various matter components in three hybrid polariton modes. Here, we study a cavity device with four embedded GaAs quantum wells hosting excitons that are spectrally matched to the A-valley exciton resonance of a MoSe\(_{2}\) monolayer. The formation of hybrid polariton modes is evidenced in momentum resolved photoluminescence and reflectivity studies.

Especially in WSe\(_{2}\), sharp emission features have been observed at cryogenic temperatures, which act as single photon sources. Tight exciton localization has been assumed to induce an anharmonic excitation spectrum; however, the evidence of the hypothesis, namely the demonstration of a localized biexciton, is elusive. Here we unambiguously demonstrate the existence of a localized biexciton in a monolayer of WSe\(_{2}\), which triggers an emission cascade of single photons. The biexciton is identified by its time-resolved photoluminescence, superlinearity and distinct polarization in micro-photoluminescence experiments. We evidence the cascaded nature of the emission process in a cross-correlation experiment, which yields a strong bunching behaviour. Our work paves the way to a new generation of quantum optics experiments with two-dimensional semiconductors.}, language = {en} }
