Abstract

We demonstrate a coherent manipulation of both exciton and biexciton in an InAs quantum dot operating at a telecommunication band. Telecommunication laser diode successfully drives the coherent system and enables to probe the carrier dynamics.

Coherently driven semiconductor quantum dot at a telecommunication wavelength

Hiroyuki Takagi, Toshihiro Nakaoka, Katsuyuki Watanabe +2 more

We proposed and demonstrate use of optical driving pulses at a telecommunication wavelength for exciton-based quantum gate operation. The exciton in a self-assembled quantum dot is coherently manipulated at 1.3 microm through Rabi oscillation. The telecom-band exciton-qubit system incorporates standard optical fibers and fiber optic devices. The coherent manipulation of the two-level system compatible with flexible and stable fiber network paves the way toward practical optical implementation of quantum information processing devices.

Coherent Evolution of Inhomogeneous Exciton/Biexciton System in an InAs Quantum Dot Ensemble

We study the coherent evolution of inhomogeneously broadend exciton/biexciton system in an InAs quantum dot ensemble using pre-pulse 2D coherent spectroscopy and successfully reproduce their behavior by the calculation of 4 level optical Bloch equation.

Coherent Control of the Exciton-Biexciton System in an InAs Self-Assembled Quantum Dot Ensemble

Takeshi Suzuki, Rohan Singh, M. Bayer +3 more

Coherent control of a strongly inhomogeneously broadened system, namely, InAs self-assembled quantum dots, is demonstrated. To circumvent the deleterious effects of the inhomogeneous broadening, which usually masks the results of coherent manipulation, we use prepulse two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy to provide a size-selective readout of the ground, exciton, and biexciton states. The dependence on the timing of the prepulse is due to the dynamics of the coherently generated populations. To further validate the results, we performed prepulse polarization dependent measurements and confirmed the behavior expected from selection rules. All measured spectra can be excellently reproduced by solving the optical Bloch equations for a 4-level system.

Generation of undamped exciton-biexciton beats in InAs quantum dots using six-wave mixing

Hirokazu Tahara, Yoshihiro Ogawa, F. Minami +2 more

We report the generation of undamped exciton-biexciton beats for coherent dynamics of excitons in InAs quantum dots at telecommunication wavelengths. The exciton-biexciton beat is damped rapidly in four-wave mixing measurements, but a six-wave mixing technique with three excitation pulses enables us to regenerate and control the exciton-biexciton beat perfectly. We have demonstrated the complete regeneration of the exciton-biexciton beat by adjusting the delay time between the first and second excitation pulses. This approach is different from conventional coherent control in quantum dots. Furthermore, the initial phase of the exciton-biexciton beat is controlled by using this technique. We show that the generation of undamped beats is a powerful tool for controlling quantum states.

Coherent Control of Exciton in a Single Quantum Dot Using High-Resolution Michelson Interferometer

Takumi Okada, Kazuhiro Komori, Keishiro Goshima +6 more

We developed a high-resolution Michelson interferometer with a He–Ne two-frequency laser positioning system, and measured the coherent carrier dynamics of a single InAs self-assembled quantum dot (SAQD) using a micro-spectroscopy system. The phase-locked double pulses were stabilized, with the maximum deviation being below 10 nm during the long measurement time of 1 h. Using this system, coherent control of an exciton in an InAs SAQD with very fine phase stabilization was demonstrated. The dephasing time of the single quantum dots was 9.5 ps which is close to that estimated from the homogeneous linewidth in the photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectrum.

Dynamics of excitons in individual InAs quantum dots revealed in four-wave mixing spectroscopy

Quentin Mermillod, Daniel Wigger, Valentin Delmonte +8 more

A detailed understanding of the population and coherence dynamics in optically driven individual emitters in solids and their signatures in ultrafast nonlinear-optical signals is of prime importance for their applications in future quantum and optical technologies. In a combined experimental and theoretical study on exciton complexes in single semiconductor quantum dots we reveal a detailed picture of the dynamics employing three-beam polarization-resolved four-wave mixing (FWM) micro-spectroscopy. The oscillatory dynamics of the FWM signals in the exciton-biexciton system is governed by the fine-structure splitting and the biexciton binding energy in an excellent quantitative agreement between measurement and analytical description. The analysis of the excitation conditions exhibits a dependence of the dynamics on the specific choice of polarization configuration, pulse areas and temporal ordering of driving fields. The interplay between the transitions in the four-level exciton system leads to rich evolution of coherence and population. Using two-dimensional FWM spectroscopy we elucidate the exciton-biexciton coupling and identify neutral and charged exciton complexes in a single quantum dot. Our investigations thus clearly reveal that FWM spectroscopy is a powerful tool to characterize spectral and dynamical properties of single quantum structures.
