Quantum dot polarized light sources

چکیده
The design, operation and performance of quantum dot spin-polarized vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and single-photon sources are described and discussed. The effects of spin-induced gain anisotropy on output polarization and threshold current reduction have been studied along with the high-frequency response in a spin-polarized VCSEL. While the output circular polarization in a VCSEL follows the out-of-plane magnetization characteristics of the ferromagnetic spin injector, the output polarization of the spin-polarized single-photon source shows a switching behavior which is explained by invoking the exciton fine structure in the quantum dots and the effects of electron–hole exchange splitting due to in-plane quantum dot rotational asymmetry.

Sources of negative tunneling magnetoresistance in multilevel quantum dots with ferromagnetic contacts
We analyze distinct sources of spin-dependent energy level shifts and their impact on the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of interacting quantum dots coupled to collinearly polarized ferromagnetic leads. Level shifts due to virtual charge fluctuations can be quantitatively evaluated within a diagrammatic representation of our transport theory. The theory is valid for multilevel quantum dot sy...
متن کاملAccuracy of circular polarization as a measure of spin polarization in quantum dot qubits.
A quantum dot spin light emitting diode provides a test of carrier spin injection into a qubit and a means for analyzing carrier spin injection and local spin polarization. Even with 100% spin-polarized carriers the emitted light may be only partially circularly polarized due to the geometry of the dot. We have calculated carrier polarization-dependent optical matrix elements for InAs/GaAs self...
