Main Methods:

  • Utilized a self-assembled Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) quantum dot as the single-photon source.
  • Employed a planar dielectric-plasmonic hybrid waveguide for efficient excitation of single plasmons.
  • Guided single plasmons via a two-wire transmission line and converted them to single photons using an optical antenna.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated a plasmonic nanocircuit driven by a GaAs quantum dot.
  • Achieved efficient excitation and guidance of narrow-band single plasmons.
  • Showcased the conversion of plasmons into single photons using an integrated optical antenna.
