Ultrafast Uniformed Quantum Manipulation with Chirped Pulses in InAs Quantum Dot Ensemble with Resonator

Yushiro Takahashi, Kotaro Miyauchi, Yutaro Kinoshita +2 more

An exciton in a quantum dot (QD) strongly couples to light, allowing the ultrafast manipulation of the quantum states on the order of femtoseconds [1]. Since a QD exciton can be regarded as a two-level system, the excitonic state can be manipulated coherently via Rabi oscillations depending on the electric field of the excitation pulse and the resonant frequency of the QD exciton. However, uniformly manipulating the exciton ensemble in a large number of QDs using ultrashort pulses is quite difficult due to the inhomogeneous distributions of the excitonic resonant frequency and the laser intensity for each QD. Adiabatic rapid passage (ARP) has been demonstrated to overcome this problem because it provides a quantum manipulation technique robust over the inhomogeneities [2], [3] by using chirped pulses (CP) instead of using Fourier transform-limited pulses (TLP). While ARP has been studied extensively in two-level systems with inhomogeneous linewidths up to GHz, it has not been rarely applied to two-level systems with THz inhomogeneous linewidths such as QDs. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the ultrafast coherent transfer of the exciton population via ARP in two kinds of QD samples; 150-layer stacked InAs QDs and 50-layer stacked InAs QDs embedded in a resonator (Fig. 1(a)).

We show population inversion in a semiconductor quantum dot with a chirped optical pulse via adiabatic rapid passage. This method is insensitive to variations in the dipole coupling and provides a new tool for preparing ensembles of quantum states.

Coherent Control of the Exciton-Biexciton System in an InAs Self-Assembled Quantum Dot Ensemble

Takeshi Suzuki, Rohan Singh, M. Bayer +3 more

Coherent control of a strongly inhomogeneously broadened system, namely, InAs self-assembled quantum dots, is demonstrated. To circumvent the deleterious effects of the inhomogeneous broadening, which usually masks the results of coherent manipulation, we use prepulse two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy to provide a size-selective readout of the ground, exciton, and biexciton states. The dependence on the timing of the prepulse is due to the dynamics of the coherently generated populations. To further validate the results, we performed prepulse polarization dependent measurements and confirmed the behavior expected from selection rules. All measured spectra can be excellently reproduced by solving the optical Bloch equations for a 4-level system.
