Phonon-Induced Effects in Quantum Dot Absorption and Resonance Fluorescence with Hierarchy of Pure States

Sebastian Toivonen, Kimmo Luoma

We investigate a quantum dot (QD) system coupled to a vibrational environment with a super-Ohmic spectral density and weakly to a leaky cavity mode, a model relevant for semiconductor-based single-photon sources. The phonon coupling induces dephasing and broadens the absorption and emission line shapes, while the weakly coupled cavity mode leads to effective driving of the QD. To capture non-Markovian effects, we use non-Markovian Quantum State Diffusion and its hierarchical extension the Hierarchy of Pure States to compute multitime correlation functions underlying absorption and resonance fluorescence spectra. We present numerical results for the absorption spectra at strong phonon coupling and finite temperature, as well as for resonance fluorescence spectra at varying phonon coupling strengths and temperatures, and analyse the visibility of the resonance fluorescence spectra to provide insights into how phonon coupling and thermal effects influence the spectral features.

Cavity-assisted enhanced and dephasing-immune squeezing in the resonance fluorescence of a single quantum dot

Parvendra Kumar, Agnikumar G. Vedeshwar

We theoretically demonstrate the enhanced and dephasing-immune squeezing in the resonance fluorescence of a single quantum dot (QD) confined to a pillar microcavity and driven by a continuous wave laser. We employ a formalism based on polaron master equation theory for incorporating the influence of exciton-phonon coupling quite accurately in the dot-cavity system. We show a significant enhancement of squeezing due to cavity coupling of the QD as compared to that of an ideal single two-level system in free space. Particularly, we show a fourfold enhancement in squeezing as compared to that of a single QD without cavity coupling. We further demonstrate the persistence of squeezing even when the pure dephasing becomes greater than the radiative decay rate. These features are attributed to the cavity-enhanced coherence causing partial reduction of the deteriorating effects of phonon-induced incoherent rates. We also show that the deteriorating effects of phonon-induced incoherent rates on squeezing can be partially circumvented by properly adjusting the detunings.

Detuning-dependent Mollow triplet of a coherently-driven single quantum dot

Ata Ulhaq, Stefanie Weiler, Chiranjeeb Roy +4 more

We present both experimental and theoretical investigations of a laser-driven quantum dot (QD) in the dressed-state regime of resonance fluorescence. We explore the role of phonon scattering and pure dephasing on the detuning-dependence of the Mollow triplet and show that the triplet sidebands may spectrally broaden or narrow with increasing detuning. Based on a polaron master equation approach, which includes electron-phonon interaction nonperturbatively, we derive a fully analytical expression for the spectrum. With respect to detuning dependence, we identify a crossover between the regimes of spectral sideband narrowing or broadening. We also predict regimes of phonon-induced squeezing and anti-squeezing of the spectral resonances. A comparison of the theoretical predictions to detailed experimental studies on the laser detuning-dependence of Mollow triplet resonance emission from single In(Ga)As QDs reveals excellent agreement.
