Abstract

Time-resolved photoluminescence of biexcitons in CuCl quantum dots has been performed by optical Kerr-gate method. Pulse-shaped luminescence like superfluorescence has been observed under resonant two-photon excitation of the biexcitons.

Generation processes of superfluorescence of biexcitons in CuCl quantum dots by one- and two-photon resonant excitation

K Kawamura, T Yoshida, Masaki Nasu +3 more

Abstract We investigated the influence of excitation processes of a biexciton on the generation of superfluorescence, which is pulsed radiation from coherently coupled two-level systems, from biexcitons in CuCl quantum dots. Two excitation processes of biexcitons were examined: resonant two-photon excitation of biexcitons, and resonant one-photon excitation of excitons. The excitation density dependence of the time-resolved photoluminescence was measured. The results showed that for one-photon excitation, a stronger peak intensity, longer delay time and wider pulse width were observed compared to resonant two-photon excitation. The high density of the excited dots in the one-photon excitation process results in the strong pulse, while an initial population of excitons results in a suppression of coherent coupling.

Biexciton and Triexciton States in Quantum Dots in the Weak Confinement Regime

Michio Ikezawa, Yasuaki Masumoto, T. Takagahara +1 more

Biexciton and triexciton states in CuCl quantum dots were studied by means of time-resolved size-selective pump-and-probe technique. A clear induced absorption band is observed on the high-energy side of the excitation photon energy. The new induced absorption is assigned to the transition from the exciton ground state to one of the weakly correlated exciton pair states which were theoretically predicted to exist and to play an important role in nonlinear optical processes. Its pump energy dependence and temporal evolution strongly support this assignment. Under high-density or two-color excitation condition, a triexciton state in quantum dots is observed for the first time.

Homogeneous linewidths of the resonant luminescence spectra of CuCl quantum dots

Keiichi Edamatsu, T. Itoh, Kyoko Matsuda +1 more

Summary form only given. Excitons confined in nanocrystals or quantum dots attract much attention because they have a very long phase relaxation time that opens the way to the artificial coherent control of the excitons. CuCl quantum dot is a typical material in which the translational motion of the exciton is confined. In this paper, we report on the high resolution measurement of the resonant luminescence of CuCl quantum dots embedded in glass and NaCl matrices under weak excitation condition, and show that the zero-phonon line of the resonant luminescence has a narrow homogeneous linewidth reflecting the long phase relaxation time.

Soliton-like propagation in biexciton two-photon resonant region

Masaru Sakai, Hideyuki Kunugita, Kazuhiro Ema +2 more

Soliton-like pulse propagation in the exciton resonant region is the issue of current interest because of their importance in the ultrafast optical switching devices. Although several types of polariton solitons at exciton resonance have been theoretically proposed, experimental studies for soliton-like propagation in such region have not been fully explored. Recently, we proposed a new scheme of soliton-like propagation supported by biexciton two-photon dispersion, and demonstrated a preliminary indication of our scheme using biexciton two-photon resonance (TPR) in CuCl. In the present study, we perform sub-ps pulse propagation experiments under several conditions using biexciton TPR in CuCl. We compare the results with the calculated results using the frequency domain wave equation. We obtain good agreement between them, and confirm soliton-like propagation supported by biexciton two-photon dispersion.
