Strong coupling criterion for two interacting excitons in a nanocavity

Abstract

We study the strong coupling between light and two interacting excitons in Quantum-dots (QDs). We derive a reasonable definition of the dynamical regimes in the system by incorporating coherent and spontaneous emission and incoherent pumping.

Strong coupling of two interacting excitons confined in a nanocavity–quantum dot system

Paulo C Cárdenas, Nicolás Quesada, Herbert Vinck-Posada +1 more

We present a study of the strong coupling between radiation and matter, considering a system of two quantum dots, which are in mutual interaction and interact with a single mode of light confined in a semiconductor nanocavity. We take into account dissipative mechanisms such as the escape of the cavity photons, decay of the quantum dot excitons by spontaneous emission, and independent exciton pumping. It is shown that the mutual interaction between the dots can be measured off-resonance only if the strong coupling condition is reached. Using the quantum regression theorem, a reasonable definition of the dynamical coupling regimes is introduced in terms of the complex Rabi frequency. Finally, the emission spectrum for relevant conditions is presented and compared with the above definition, demonstrating that the interaction between the excitons does not affect the strong coupling.

Spontaneous emission of two quantum dots in a single-mode cavity

Liu Qiu, Ke Zhang, Zhiyuan Li

The spontaneous emission spectrum from two quantum dots (QDs) that are strongly coupled with a single-mode nanocavity is investigated using rigorous numerical calculations and simple analytical solutions of quantum dynamics. The emission spectra both from the side and along the axis of the cavity are considered. Modification of two parameters, the coupling strength and the detuning between the transition frequencies of the two quantum dots, allows us to efficiently control the shape of the spontaneous emission spectrum. Different profiles and their physical origins can be well understood in the dressed-state picture for the light—QD interaction in the on-resonance and off-resonance situations. In the on-resonance situation, the emission spectra exhibit symmetric features, and they are not altered by the asymmetry in the coupling parameters. The axis spectra show two emission peaks while the side spectra have three emission peaks. In the off-resonance situation, the emission spectra always show an asymmetrical three-peak feature. When the two QDs have different decay parameters, singular features (a peak or a dip) can take place at the frequency of the cavity mode, and this is attributed to the unbalanced process of the emission and absorption of a single photon.

Luminescence spectra of quantum dots in microcavities. III. Multiple quantum dots

Fabrice P. Laussy, Arne Laucht, Elena del Valle +2 more

We discuss the spectral line shapes of $N$ quantum dots in strong coupling with the single mode of a microcavity in the presence of a continuous, incoherent pumping. Nontrivial features in the response of the system are induced by detuning the emitters or probing the direct exciton emission spectrum. We describe dark states, quantum nonlinearities, emission dips, and interferences and show how these various effects may coexist, giving rise to highly peculiar line shapes.

Towards strong-coupling regime in singular site-controlled InGaAs quantum dots-nanocavities

Wei Liu, Jiahui Huang, Alessio Miranda +4 more

We demonstrate the cavity quantum electrodynamics towards strong-coupling regime mediated by cavity loss and exciton pure dephasing in singular site-controlled quantum dot-nanocavity system, studied by micro-photoluminescence (μ-PL) and time-resolved PL (TRPL).

Dynamics of the excitations of a quantum dot in a microcavity

J. I. Perea, Diego Porras, C. Tejedor

We study the dynamics of a quantum dot embedded in a three-dimensional microcavity in the strong coupling regime in which the quantum dot exciton has an energy close to the frequency of a confined cavity mode. Under the continuous pumping of the system, the confined electron and hole can recombine either by spontaneous emission through a leaky mode or by stimulated emission of a cavity mode that can escape from the cavity. The numerical integration of a master equation including all these effects gives the dynamics of the density matrix. By using the quantum regression theorem, we compute the first- and second-order coherence functions required to calculate the photon statistics and the spectrum of the emitted light. Our main result is the determination of a range of parameters in which a state of cavity modes with Poissonian or sub-Poissonian (nonclassical) statistics can be built up within the microcavity. Depending on the relative values of pumping and rate of stimulated emission, either one or two peaks close to the excitation energy of the dot and/or to the natural frequency of the cavity are observed in the emission spectrum. The physics behind these results is discussed.

Single quantum dots in microcavities

Fabrice P. Laussy, Михаил Михайлович Глазов, Alexey Vitalievich Kavokin +1 more

In 2004 two groups have reported observation of the strong coupling regime in 3D microcavities with single quantum dots (QD). We present the quantum theory of non-linear emission of photons by such structures. We derive the exciton creation operator which coincides with a Fermi one for QDs smaller than the exciton Bohr radius and with Bose one for very large QDs. In intermediate size dots excitonic statistics is in between the Fermi and Bose ones. Consequently, the non-linear optical spectra change from the Mollow triplet in the fermionic case to the Rabi doublet in the bosonic case. We predict appearance of a characteristic multiplet structure of the non-linear emission in the intermediate regime.
