We present the differences between Input-Output formalism and Lindblad Master Equation approach in transmission spectrum of Coupled high-Q Cavity with Quantum Dot system in weak coupling regime. Full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) and the peak transmission of Dipole Induced Transparency (DIT) are analyzed in detail.
We present the differences between Input-Output formalism (IOF) and Incoherent Pumping Mechanism (IPM) derived from Lindblad Master Equation approach in terms of the transmission spectrum of Coupled high-Q Cavity with Quantum Dot system in the strong coupling regime. Fullwidth- half-maximum (FWHM) and the peak transmission of Dipole Induced Transparency (DIT) are inquired for detailed comparison in on-resonant and off-resonant conditions. We have found that DIT phenomenon in off-resonant case cannot be explained entirely by IPM although both methods can exhibit the same Vacuum Rabi splitting in on-resonant case. We have concluded that polariton having atomic-like feature in transmission spectrum could not be captured completely by IPM.
Temporal group delays originating from the optical analogue to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) are compared in two systems. Similar transmission characteristics are observed between a coherently coupled high-Q multi-cavity array and a single quantum dot (QD) embedded cavity in the weak coupling regime. However, theoretically generated group delay values for the multi-cavity case are around two times higher. Both configurations allow direct scalability for chip-scale optical pulse trapping and coupled-cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED).
We investigate the probe-field transmission in a hybrid cavity quantum electrodynamic (CQED) system, where one optical cavity containing a quantum dot (QD) with high cavity dissipation is coupled to another auxiliary cavity with a high quality factor. We also investigate the hybrid system operating in the weak coupling regime of the light-matter interaction via comparing the QD photon interaction with the dipole decay rate and the cavity field decay rate. It is shown that the dipole induced transparency (DIT) regime similar to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) can be achieved due to the destructive interference of the cavity field in the weak coupling regime, which is extremely significant for the field of semiconductor CQED. The auxiliary cavity plays a key role in the hybrid system, which affords a quantum channel to affect the probe transmission leading to enhanced DIT. Further, DIT induced coherent optical propagation properties such as fast and slow light effects are also investigated based on the hybrid system for suitable parametric regimes. By controlling the coupling strength J and the decay rate ratio δ of the two cavities, tunable and controllable fast-to-slow light propagation can be achieved. This study provides a promising platform for understanding the dynamics of QD-CQED systems and may open up promising on chip applications in quantum information processing.
We present a semiconductor master equation technique to study the input/output characteristics of coherent photon transport in a semiconductor waveguide-cavity system containing a single quantum dot. We use this approach to investigate the effects of photon propagation and anharmonic cavity-QED for various dot-cavity interaction strengths, including weakly-coupled, intermediately-coupled, and strongly-coupled regimes. We demonstrate that for mean photon numbers much less than 0.1, the commonly adopted weak excitation (single quantum) approximation breaks down, even in the weak coupling regime. As a measure of the multiphoton correlations, we compute the Fano factor and the correlation error associated with making a semiclassical approximation. We also explore the role of electron--acoustic-phonon scattering and find that phonon-mediated scattering plays a qualitatively important role on the light propagation characteristics. As an application of the theory, we simulate a conditional phase gate at a phonon bath temperature of 20 K in the strong coupling regime.
