Abstract
Bright, polarized, and high-purity single-photon sources in telecom wavelengths are crucial components in long-distance quantum communication, optical quantum computation, and quantum networks. Semiconductor InAs/InP quantum dots (QDs) combined with photonic cavities provide a competitive path, leading to optimal single-photon sources in this range. Here, we demonstrate a bright and polarized single-photon source operating in the telecom C-band based on an elliptical Bragg grating (EBG) cavity. With a significant Purcell enhancement of 5.25 ± 0.05, the device achieves a polarization ratio of 0.986, a single-photon purity of <i>g</i><sup>2</sup>(0) = 0.078 ± 0.016, and a single-polarized photon collection efficiency of ∼24% at the first lens (NA = 0.65) without blinking. These findings suggest that C-band QD-based single-photon sources are potential candidates for advancing quantum communication.
