Benyoucef A. Rastelli O. G. Schmidt S. M. Ulrich P. Michler Published online 27 September 2006 to the authors 2006 Abstract We report on the experimental observation of bright photoluminescence emission at room temperature from single unstrained GaAs quantum dots QDs . The linewidth of a single-QD ground-state emission meV is comparable to the ensemble inhomogeneous broadening meV . At low temperature T 40 K photon correlation measurements under continuous wave excitation show nearly perfect single-photon emission from a single GaAs QD and reveal the single photon nature of the emitted light up to 77 K. The QD emission energies homogeneous linewidths and the thermally activated behavior as a function of temperature are discussed.
