Photonic wire bonds have been developed as an interface for the collection of single photon emission from quantum dots within a Bragg waveguide. When resonantly excited from the top of the waveguide via free space excitation a low multiphoton contribution in the quantum dot emission with g(2)(0) = (9.5 ± 1.4) × 10−2 is shown. Our measurements demonstrate the ability to collect single-photon emission from a ridge waveguide into an optical fiber via photonic wire bonds at cryogenic temperatures. This allows for a seamless plug-and-play operation of the fiber-coupled single-photon source. Furthermore, the demonstrated approach allows for resonance fluorescence excitation without the need for any additional cross-polarization filtering.
