Abstract

Triggered single-photon emission from a single CdTe quantum dot (QD) grown on Si(001) substrate is demonstrated for the first time. The emission wavelength of QDs can be tuned in a wide spectral range (more than 8 meV) using a focused laser beam. A nearly perfect single- photon emission from the exciton lines is preserved even after energy tuning. The lifetime is also measured before and after laser processing, and no appreciable change is observed.
