ABSTRACT:
An optical device which can operate as a single photon emitter1, comprising a three dimensional optical cavity7which spatially confines a photon to the order of the photon wavelength in all three dimensions. The cavity7is configured to define preferred emission direction for photons entering the cavity. A photon can be supplied to the cavity using a quantum dot5. Strong coupling can occur between the cavity7and the quantum dot5which causes the formation of two hybridised modes. Switching on an off the coupling by irradiating the device with radiation having an energy equal to that of one of the hybridised modes allows the device to act as an optical switch.
