摘要

Abstract

We identify and characterize a novel type of quantum emitter formed from InGaN monolayer islands grown using molecular beam epitaxy and further isolated via the fabrication of an array of nanopillar structures. Detailed optical analysis of the characteristic emission spectrum from the monolayer islands is performed

and the main transmission is shown to act as a bright

stable

and fast single-photon emitter with a wavelength of ~400 nm.
