contents In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that a few-period circular Bragg reflector consisting of concentric rings placed around an infinite nanowire with an embedded quantum dot can increase the fraction of radiative emission into the fundamental $\mathrm{HE}_{11}$ mode ($β=Γ_{\rm HE_{11}}/Γ_{\rm Total}$) up to 0.999 due to enhanced suppression of the emission into radiation modes caused by a photonic bandgap effect. We then apply this strategy in the practically relevant case of the finite-sized single-photon source based on tapered nanowires and demonstrate that the collection efficiency can be improved. Additionally, we also show the beneficial effects of placing optimized rings around the micropillar single-photon source.
