Abstract

Abstract This report quantum mechanically analyses a system composed of a two‐level system, a single mode cavity, and free space photon modes, which are coupled to each other. The analytical solution in the intermediate regime between the strong and weak coupling regimes is successfully obtained. It is found that the emission rate reaches its maximum when the cavity photon lifetime τcav satisfy 1/τcav = 4|g |, where 2|g | is the vacuum Rabi frequency. Also, Fano resonance is shown to occur under certain conditions. These results can be useful for high‐speed single photon sources and for fundamental understanding of the interaction between a quantum dot and a cavity mode. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Characterization of strong lightmatter coupling in semiconductor quantum‐dot microcavities

L. Schneebeli, M. Kira, S. W. Koch

Abstract Maxwell‐Bloch and luminescence equations are presented which describe vacuum Rabi splitting and the quantum rungs on the Jaynes‐Cummings ladder for strongly‐coupled dot‐cavity systems. Resonance fluorescence conditions are considered where an optical pump is exciting the dot‐cavity system while the re‐emitted light is detected. An analytical formula for the vacuum Rabi splitting is derived and a pumping mechanism for the direct generation of the second rung is presented and analyzed. An optimum pumping frequency and optimum pumping intensity are identified for the generation of the second rung. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Photon statistics of a single quantum dot in a microcavity

Yumian Su, Marten Richter, Andreas Knorr +2 more

Abstract We introduce a theoretical model to describe the dynamics of an electrically pumped single quantum dot interacting with a microcavity. Within our framework, it is possible to study the full photon statistics of the quantum light emission for different pump rates and to include semiconductor specific Pauli‐ blocking effects in the polarization dynamics. In the single photon limit, we find that, compared to comparable atomic systems, two photon events are suppressed stronger by the carrier reservoir of the quantum dot.

Spontaneous emission from an exciton in a quantum dot embedded in a microcavity

Jun‐ichi Inoue, Tetsuyuki Ochiai, Kazuaki Sakoda

Abstract Spontaneous emission properties of a quantum dot embedded in a semiconductor microcavity are theoretically investigated. High Q value of the cavity yields both weak and strong coupling states, the former of which is mainly focused. There, spontaneous emission spectrum has doublet shape, which is caused by a quantum interference. This interference is robust against detuning between the excitation of the quantum dot and cavity mode. The time domain analysis is performed for further characterization of the high Q weak coupling state. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

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.

Probing the interaction between a single quantum dot and a photonic crystal cavity

Ilya Fushman, Dirk Englund, Andrei Faraon +1 more

Abstract This article reviews our recent work on the development of nanophotonic devices for quantum information processing. We have developed a temperature tuning technique, that allows us to independently tune photonic crystal cavities and quantum dots on the same chip. The high quality factor to mode volume ratio of such cavities leads to a strong interaction between the cavity and the quantum dot. The cavity modifies the quantum dot lifetime, which, in turn, modifies the transmission properties of the cavity. We observe that the resonant nonlinearity of the quantum dot is greatly enhanced by the recirculation of light, and leads to a giant optical nonlinearity, where single photons are able to saturate the quantum dot and modify the transmission function of the cavity. Along with these results, we review the experimental developments, which have led to the realization of the experiment. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Enhanced generation of entangled‐photon pairs from a cavity system

Hiroshi Ajiki, Hajime Ishihara

Abstract We have theoretically studied efficiency of entangled‐photon generation from a quantum well embedded in a microcavity, and have found considerable enhancement of the efficiency. We have determined an optimal condition for achieving the strong enhancement, which is qualitatively understood from a characteristic feature of the cavity QED. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
