Tunable control phase for superluminal to subluminal light propagation in a ladder three-level quantum dot molecule

Mozhgan Momeni Demne, Mostafa Sahrai

In this paper, the effect of relative phase of applied fields on probe field dispersion and absorption for a laddershaped three level quantum dot molecule is investigated. The results show that the relative phase of applied fields can be affected on the probe beam propagation, and thus its absorption, dispersion and group velocity. The dispersion and the absorption may change with the relative phase of applied fields. By adjusting relative phase of applied fields light propagation from superluminal to subluminal and absorption to gain can be switched.

Propagation of a laser pulse and electro-optic switch in a GaAs/AlGaAs quadruple-coupled quantum dot molecule nanostructure

Jalil Shiri

Abstract Based on a GaAs/AlGaAs quadruple-coupled quantum dot heterostructure, an optical switch for controlling superluminal and subluminal light propagation is suggested. The transient and steady state behaviour of the absorption and dispersion of a probe pulse laser field through a quadruple quantum dot molecule are studied. We show that the group velocity of a light pulse can be controlled from superluminal to subluminal, or vice versa, by controlling the tunnelling rates between the quantum dots. The required switching time is calculated and we find it to be about 8 ps. We also investigated a method for the all-optical switching of probe field absorption from a large amount to nearly zero just by applying an incoherent pumping field. We estimated the required switching time for this case to be between 3 and 14 ps.
