Abstract

Recognition of single quantum dots (QDs) from high multi-exciton emission and clustering effects is challenging using the conventional second-order correlation function method. Here we demonstrate a method for fast recognizing single QDs based on the probabilities of detecting single- and two-photon events. The time-tagged, time-resolved and time-correlated single-photon counting technique is applied to effectively remove multiexciton emission and low-counting background. By this way, single QDs can be fastly recognized by the spatial coincidence-counting model. In addition, the fast recognition of single QDs by using the collected photons during the confocal scanning imaging process has been achieved synchronously.
