Local field effects in excitonic population transfer in a driven quantum dot system
Emmanuel Paspalakis, Anastasia Kalini, Andreas Terzis
Abstract
We study theoretically the influence of local fields in the excitonic population dynamics of a quantum dot system under the interaction with either CW or pulsed and appropriately chirped electromagnetic fields. Using a microscopic approach for the analysis of the system we present analytical and numerical results from the solution of the optical Bloch equations, with emphasis given to the effects of local fields in excitonic Rabi oscillations and to the conditions that could give rise to population inversion in the system.
