We will present our recent advances on single quantum dot-photonic crystal nanocavity coupled systems. Cavity enhanced two-photon emission and large optical Stark effect with extremely low control power in these systems will be mainly discussed.

We show that the two-photon transition rates of quantum dots coupled to nanocavities are enhanced by up to several orders of magnitude relative to quantum dots in bulk host. We then propose how to take advantage of this enhancement to implement coherent quantum-dot excitation by two-photon absorption, entangled photon pair generation by two-photon spontaneous emission, and single-photon generation at telecom wavelengths by two-photon stimulated and spontaneous emission.
