Saturation of absorption and gain in a quantum dot diode with continuous-wave driving

We have observed saturation of absorption and gain in ensembles of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots at room temperature with continuous-wave driving in the 1.24–1.28 μm wavelength range. The saturation intensity was found to be Isat=(1.4–4.5)×109 W/m2 in absorption and Isat=(0.2–3.8)×109 W/m2 in gain, depending on the detuning.

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.

Femtosecond gain and index dynamics in an InAs/InGaAsP quantum dot amplifier operating at 1.55 µm

We report on the characterization of the ultrafast gain and refractive index dynamics of an InAs/InGaAsP self-assembled quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) operating at 1.55 mum through heterodyne pump-probe measurements with 150 fs resolution. The measurements show a 15 ps gain recovery time at a wavelength of 1560 nm, promising for ultrafast switching at >40 GHz in the important telecommunications wavelength bands. Ultrafast dynamics with 0.2-1.5 ps lifetimes were also found consistent with carrier heating and spectral hole burning. Comparing with previous reports on quantum dot SOAs at 1.1-1.3 mum wavelengths, we conclude that the carrier heating is caused by a combination of free-carrier absorption and stimulated transition processes.
