  Control of single photon wave-packets is an important resource for developing
hybrid quantum systems which are composed of different physical systems
interacting via photons. Here we extend this control to triggered photons
emitted by a quantum dot, temporally shaping single photon wave-packets on
timescales fast compared to their radiative decay by electro-optic modulation.
In particular, telecommunications-band single photons resulting from the
recombination of an exciton in a quantum dot with exponentially decaying
wave-packets are synchronously modulated to create Gaussian-shaped single
photon wave-packets. We explore other pulse-shapes and investigate the
feasibility of this technique for increasing the indistinguishability of
quantum dot generated single photons.
