Illustration of the telecom single-photon device. A resonant pulsed laser (top left) excites a single quantum dot embedded within a photonic-crystal waveguide, and the dot emits telecom-wavelength photons one at a time into the on-chip circuit. Gold contacts apply the bias that stabilizes the dot's charge environment.
