Quantum Dot-Micropillars: A Bright Source of Coherent Single Photons

We present the efficient generation of coherent single photons based on quantum dots in micropillars. We utilize a scalable lithography scheme leading to quantum dot-micropillar devices with 74% extraction efficiency. Via pulsed strict resonant pumping, we show an indistinguishability of consecutively emitted photons up to 98.5%.
