We report single plasmon generation with a self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot embedded in a plasmonic microring resonator. The plasmonic cavity based on a GaAs microring is defined on an atomically smooth silver surface. We fabricated this structure with the help of transfer printing, which enables the pick-and-place assembly of the complicated, heterogeneous three-dimensional stack. We show that a high-order surface-plasmon-polariton transverse mode mediates efficient coupling between the InAs/GaAs quantum dots and the plasmonic cavity, paving the way for developing plasmonic quantum light sources based on the state-of-the-art solid-state quantum emitters. Experimentally, we observed Purcell-enhanced radiation from the quantum dot coupled to the plasmonic mode. We also observed a strong antibunching in the intensity correlation histogram measured for scattered photons from the plasmonic resonator, indicating single plasmon generation in the resonator. Our results are important for the development of quantum plasmonic circuits integrating high-performance single plasmon generators.
