The purpose of this experiment was to study single photon sources and confirm that they exhibit photon antibunching. The quantum dot fluorescence was imaged using an EM-CCD camera in conjunction with the confocal microscope. CdSeTe quantum dots, which emit at 790nm when excited with a 633nm He-Ne laser, were studied. The quantum dot fluorescence was enhanced using a photonic band gap material a...
