Abstract

We investigate the light-matter interaction of a quantum dot with the electromagnetic field in a lossy microcavity and calculate emission spectra for nonzero detuning and dephasing. It is found that dephasing shifts the intensity of the emission peaks for nonzero detuning. We investigate the characteristics of this intensity shifting effect and offer it as an explanation for the nonvanishing emission peaks at the cavity frequency found in recent experimental work.

Influence of Pure Dephasing on Emission Spectra from Quantum Dot-Cavity Systems

Andreas Naesby, T. Suhr, Philip Trøst Kristensen +1 more

We model the effect of dephasing on a QD-cavity QED system. The emission peaks are found to display surprising intensity shifts as the rate of dephasing is increased. This effect could explain recent experimental results.

Characteristics of Pure Dephasing on Non-resonant Quantum Dot-cavity Coupling System and its Application Prospect

陈翔 Chen Xiang, 米贤武 MI Xian-wu

The quantum dot-cavity system was investigated using a quantum master equation that took incoherent pumping,stimulated emission and pure dephasing into consideration,and analytical emission spectra at cavity and dot were presented.The theoretical analysis results show that the pure dephasing shifts the emission intensity towards the cavity frequency in non-resonant coupling system and thus can be a very good explanation of the non-resonantly coupled cavity effective emission effect.In order to further study the application of pure dephasing in the quantum dot-cavity coupled systems,the effective quantum dot-cavity coupling rate and the efficiency of the single photon source for detuned systems were introduced,and good cavity and bad ragime were able to be defined through comparing the effective quantum dot-cavity coupling rate and the cavity decay rate.Influence of the pure dephasing on the efective coupling rate and the efficiency of the single photon source were investigated in resonance and detuning selected two set of theoretical parameters according to the experimental data.The results show that the pure dephasing can increase the efftive quantum dot-cavity coupling and the efficiency of single photon source for detuned system and thus may make a transition from bad cavity to good cavity ragime;a set of parameters having larger coupling efficiency in a certain range can meet good cavity ragime that its single photon sources efficiency is obviously better than the other set.Compared with bad cavity regime laser in non-resonant coupling system,the good cavity regime is a necessary condition to achieve single quantum dot lasers;the Fano function shows no evidence of a maximum in the non-resonant coupling system and thus there is no laser threshold in this system.

Pure emitter dephasing: A resource for advanced solid-state single-photon sources

Alexia Auffèves, Jean‐Michel Gérard, J.-Ph. Poizat

We have computed the spectrum emitted spontaneously by a quantum dot coupled to an arbitrarily detuned single mode cavity, taking into account pure dephasing processes. We show that if the emitter is incoherent, the cavity can efficiently emit photons with its own spectral characteristics. This effect opens unique opportunities for the development of devices exploiting both cavity quantum electrodynamic effects and pure dephasing, such as wavelength-stabilized single-photon sources robust against spectral diffusion.

Emission Properties And Photon Statistics Of A Single Quantum-Dot Laser

Christopher Gies, P. Gärtner, S. Ritter +3 more

We study the light‐matter interaction of a single semiconductor quantum dot in a microcavity. Excitation‐dependent effects, like dephasing and Coulomb screening lead to a transition from excitonic emission to contributions from multi‐exciton states as the pump is increased. During this transition, the system passes from strong to weak coupling, the photon‐emission changes from sub‐poissonian to coherent emission via bunching, and the output intensity follows an s‐shaped curve typically seen in many‐emitter systems. These effects have also been observed experimentally and explained in terms of an atomic model that also accounts for a background contribution of other emitter. Here we give an alternative interpretation based on the semiconductor nature of the single quantum‐dot emitter.

Spectrum of a microcavity with single quantum nonlinearity

Xiaoyong Guo, Liqun An, Xiaobin Ren +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the emission spectrum of a nonlinear microcavity at the level of individual quantum. The physical system consists of one coherently pumped microcavity in which a self-interacting bosonic matter field strongly couples with the cavity field. By the master equation treatment, we obtain an analytical expression for the emission spectrum of the cavity. It is found that when the strength of the bosonic nonlinear effect is greater than a critical level, the spectrum of the single-mode cavity field is divided into doublet peaks. Furthermore, we also study the influence of the detuning between cavity field and matter field on the emission property. We show that the emission intensity is enhanced by negative detuning and suppressed by positive detuning.

Emission spectra and quantum efficiency of single-photon sources in the cavity-QED strong-coupling regime

Guoqiang Cui, M. G. Raymer

We derive analytical formulas for the forward emission and side emission spectra of cavity-modified single-photon sources, as well as the corresponding normal-mode oscillations in the cavity quantum electrodynamics strong-coupling regime. We investigate the effects of pure dephasing, treated in the phase-diffusion model based on a Wiener-Levy process, on the emission spectra and normal-mode oscillations. We also extend our previous calculation of quantum efficiency to include the pure dephasing process. All results are obtained in the Weisskopf-Wigner approximation for an impulse-excited emitter. We find that the spectra are broadened, the depths of the normal-mode oscillations are reduced and the quantum efficiency is decreased in the presence of pure dephasing.
