Abstract

Near-infrared (NIR) single-photon source plays a key role in a wide range of applications in quantum technology. In particular, in quantum communication, the NIR wavelength operation perfectly matches the relatively low-attenuation transmission window of the optical fiber, which attracts more and more research interest. Here, we report the room temperature single-photon emission from single point defects in the aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) film. The obtained single-photon emission covers from 720 to 930 nm and exhibits highly linear polarization and high photon brightness. This may provide a platform for future integrated on-chip quantum photonic devices.
