Controlled excitonic population transfer in a quantum dot system interacting with an electromagnetic field: local field effects
Emmanuel Paspalakis, Andreas Terzis
Abstract
We study the effects of local fields, due to electron-hole dipole-dipole interactions, on the excitonic population dynamics of an isolated quantum dot system under the interaction with either CW or pulsed and appropriately chirped electromagnetic fields. The analysis of the dynamics of the system is achieved by the analytical and numerical solution of the optical Bloch equations, under the rotating wave approximation. In the theoretical investigation of the system, emphasis is given to the effects of local fields in excitonic Rabi oscillations and to the conditions that give rise to population inversion in the system.
