Abstract

We demonstrate the resonant excitation of a so-called dark exciton state in a quantum dot with a readout scheme based on the resonance fluorescence of the correlated bright exciton.

We report the coherent resonant emission of the exciton state in a single InAs quantum dot, embedded in a planar optical microcavity. The quantum dot is excited by a laser beam from the cleaved sample edge, and the resonant fluorescence is collected in the direction perpendicular to the excitation laser beam, so the residual laser scattering can be deeply suppressed. This experimental setup enables us to observe Rabi oscillation and a Mollow triplet with Rabi energy up to about 27 μeV.

We demonstrate for the first time that the quantum dot confined dark exciton is a natural, coherent and long-lived qubit. We optically “write” its spin state and successfully “read” its subsequent coherent evolution.

Resonance Fluorescence from a Coherently Driven Semiconductor Quantum Dot in a Cavity

Andreas Müller, Edward B. Flagg, Pablo Bianucci +7 more

We show that resonance fluorescence, i.e., the resonant emission of a coherently driven two-level system, can be realized with a semiconductor quantum dot. The dot is embedded in a planar optical microcavity and excited in a waveguide mode so as to discriminate its emission from residual laser scattering. The transition from the weak to the strong excitation regime is characterized by the emergence of oscillations in the first-order correlation function of the fluorescence, g(tau), as measured by interferometry. The measurements correspond to a Mollow triplet with a Rabi splitting of up to 13.3 microeV. Second-order correlation measurements further confirm nonclassical light emission.

Resonance fluorescence of a single InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot enables us to show direct evidence of population up-conversion to an excited state in a quantum dot, which we attribute to single-acoustic-phonon processes at low temperature.
