Abstract
We show theoretically that nearly indistinguishable photons can be generated with non-identical semiconductor-based sources. The use of virtual Raman transitions and the optimization of the external driving fields increases the tolerance to spectral inhomogeneity to the meV energy range. A trade-off emerges between photon indistinguishability and efficiency in the photon-generation process. Linear (quadratic) dependence of the coincidence probability within the Hong-Ou-Mandel setup is found with respect to the dephasing (relaxation) rate in the semiconductor sources.
