    "abstract": "We have demonstrated efficient production of triggered single photons by\ncoupling a single semiconductor quantum dot to a three-dimensionally confined\noptical mode in a micropost microcavity. The efficiency of emitting single\nphotons into a single-mode travelling wave is approximately 38%, which is\nnearly two orders of magnitude higher than for a quantum dot in bulk\nsemiconductor material. At the same time, the probability of having more than\none photon in a given pulse is reduced by a factor of seven as compared to\nlight with Poissonian photon statistics.",
