Coherent Coupling of Excitons and Trions in a Photoexcited CdTe/CdMgTe Quantum Well

Galan Moody, Ilya A. Akimov, Hebin Li +7 more

We present zero-, one-, and two-quantum two-dimensional coherent spectra of excitons and trions in a CdTe/(Cd,Mg)Te quantum well. The set of spectra provides a unique and comprehensive picture of the coherent nonlinear optical response. Distinct peaks in the spectra are manifestations of exciton-exciton and exciton-trion coherent coupling. Excellent agreement using density matrix calculations highlights the essential role of many-body effects on the coupling. Strong exciton-trion coherent interactions open up the possibility for novel conditional control schemes in coherent optoelectronics.

Spin coherence of two-dimensional electron gas achieved via resonant excitation of trions and excitons

Evgeny A. Zhukov, Dmitri R. Yakovlev, M. Bayer +5 more

Generation mechanisms of long‐lived spin coherence of two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) have been studied theoretically and experimentally, the latter by means of a picosecond pump‐probe Kerr rotation technique. CdTe/(Cd,Mg)Te quantum wells with a diluted two‐dimensional electron gas have been addressed. Strong Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes, which results in large binding energies of neutral and negatively charged excitons (trions), allows selective addressing of exciton and trion states with resonant optical excitation. Different scenarios of coherence generation have been analyzed, namely, direct trion photocreation, formation of trions from photogenerated excitons and electron‐exciton exchange scattering.

Coherent optical spectroscopy of charged exciton complexes in semiconductor nanostructures

We present results on photon echo spectroscopy for resonant excitation of localized charged exciton complexes (trions) in CdTe/CdMgTe semiconductor quantum wells. We demonstrate that the Zeeman splitting of resident electron spin levels in transverse magnetic field leads to quantum beats in the photon echoes with the Larmor precession frequency. This allows us to perform a coherent transfer of optical excitation into a spin ensemble and to observe long-lived photon echoes. Our approach can be used as a tool for remarkably high resolution spectroscopy of the ground state levels: We are able to resolve splittings between the spin levels with sub-µeV precision and to distinguish between different types of electrons in the ensemble, namely electrons either bound to donors or localized on quantum well potential fluctuations. To that end we show that stimulated step-like Raman processes in the two-pulse excitation scheme allow us to probe the electron spin ensemble with high selectivity and precision even for systems with broad optical transitions. Next, Rabi oscillations for exciton complexes with different degree of localization are detected by photon echo spectroscopy. We observe that an increase of the area of either the first or the second pulse leads to a significant decrease of the photon echo signal, which is strongest for the neutral excitons and less pronounced for the donor-bound exciton complex.
