Coherent control of single quantum dot exciton embedded in a photodiode

Roman S. Kolodka, A. J. Ramsay, P. W. Fry +6 more

We study the coherent properties of a two-level system based on the ground state neutral exciton of a single InGaAs self-assembled quantum dot (SAQD) embedded in an n-i-Schottky diode. By using a photocurrent technique, we observe Rabi oscillations of the exciton population for pulse-areas of up to 6π. We perform two pulse quantum interference experiments to deduce the decoherence rate.

Single Quantum Dot Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy

N. H. Bonadeo, Gang Chen, D. Gammon +1 more

We report a study of the coherent nonlinear optical response of individual excitons localized in GaAs quantum dots. Our data show that the nonlinear response is comprised of an incoherent contribution dominated by saturation of the oscillator strength and a coherent contribution giving rise to population pulsations. The results compare well with present theory and show the similarities with atoms and quantum dots in their coherent optical interaction with light. The measured energy relaxation and dephasing rates are comparable, reflecting the absence of significant pure dephasing at low temperatures. In addition, we use nonlinear spectroscopy to investigate quantum dot coupling showing the presence of an incoherent coupling leading to fast energy relaxation. The polarization properties as well as the fine structure splitting are also discussed.

Classical versus quantum coherence

P. Thornton Greenland

Quantum dots are structures engineered to have desirable quantum-mechanical properties. Much of their potential usefulness stems from the ability to design such structures so that their passive properties can be exploited. However, there are many plans to use dots as the basis of a more active quantum engineering, in which the detailed quantum states of the dot's components are manipulated by externally imposed fields. This leads to a new requirement: our ability to model the time development of individual driven quantum systems. I shall discuss some of the problems which arise when single systems, rather than ensembles, are considered and give examples which illustrate the effects of classical and quantum incoherences. I propose a new classification of incoherent processes, based on their effect on individual wave functions.
