High-performance sources of multidimensionally engineered quantum light based on monolithic microcavity-metalens interfaces

Abstract The ultimate non-classic light sources for modern photonic quantum technology require on-demand generation of indistinguishable quantum light with high brightness and flexible engineering of quantum emission in multiple degrees of freedom. In this work, we present monolithic microcavity-metalens interfaces consisting of quantum-dot-micropillar single-photon sources and ultra-thin metalenses accurately aligned on opposite sides of an III-V compound semiconductor chip. The pronounced cavi
