Nonlinear temporal dynamics of a strongly coupled quantum-dot–cavity system

Arka Majumdar, Dirk Englund, Michal Bajcsy +1 more

We theoretically analyze the temporal dynamics of strongly coupled quantum-dot--cavity system driven by a resonant laser pulse and observe the signature of Rabi oscillation in the time-resolved response of the system (i.e., in the numerically calculated cavity output). We derive simplified linear and nonlinear semiclassical models that approximate well the system's behavior in the limits of high- and low-power driving pulses and describe the role of quantum coherence in the exact dynamics of the system. Finally, we also present time-resolved transmission measurements showing the dynamics of a quantum-dot--cavity system in the presence of a short laser pulse.

Enhanced Kerr nonlinearity with a single quantum dot coupled to a gain cavity under weak-excitation limitation

Qingya Zhang, Aixi Chen, Yuexin Zhang +2 more

Abstract We propose and analyze an effective scheme to enhance Kerr nonlinearity with a single quantum dot (QD) coupled to a gain cavity. Under the weak-excitation approximation, we derive the analytic formulas used to determine the coefficient of the nonlinear transmission by employing the perturbation technique. Using experimentally achievable parameters, we identify the conditions under which a QD gain cavity coupled system allows us to modify the linear transmission of the input probe field and enhance the Kerr nonlinearity beyond what is achievable in a QD loss cavity system. It is found that enhanced optical Kerr nonlinearity with high linear transmission rate and suppressed nonlinear absorption can be achievable even in the case of weak coupling between QD and gain cavity. The present results illustrate the potential to utilize gain cavity for enhancing optical Kerr nonlinearities and controlling the transmission of light, as well as guide the design of optical devices.

Quantitative analysis of quantum dot dynamics and emission spectra in cavity quantum electrodynamics:Paper

Madsen, Kristian Høeg, Peter Lodahl

We present detuning-dependent spectral and decay-rate measurements to study the difference between the spectral and dynamical properties of single quantum dots embedded in micropillar and photonic crystal cavities. For the micropillar cavity, the dynamics is well described by the dissipative Jaynes–Cummings model, whereas systematic deviations are observed for the emission spectra. The discrepancy for the spectra is attributed to the coupling of other exciton lines to the cavity and interference of different propagation paths toward the detector of the fields emitted by the quantum dot. In contrast, quantitative information about the system can readily be extracted from the dynamical measurements. In the case of photonic crystal cavities, we observe an anti-crossing in the spectra when detuning a single quantum dot through resonance, which is the spectral signature of a strong coupling. However, time-resolved measurements reveal that the actual coupling strength is significantly smaller than anticipated from the spectral measurements and that the quantum dot is rather weakly coupled to the cavity. We suggest that the observed Rabi splitting is due to cavity feeding by other quantum dots and/or multi-exciton complexes giving rise to collective emission effects.
