Single quantum dot states measured by optical modulation spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using optical modulation spectroscopy, we report the direct observation of absorption lines from excitons localized in GaAs single quantum dot potentials. The data provide a measurement of the linewidth, resonance energy, and oscillator strength of the transitions, and show that states which decay primarily by nonradiative processes can be directly probed using this technique. The experiments establish this technique for the characterization of single quantum dot transitions, thereby complementing luminescence studies. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~99!00939-0#

Linear and nonlinear optical properties of a modified Gaussian quantum dot: pressure, temperature and impurity effect
In this paper, the effect of pressure, temperature and impurity on the energylevels, binding energy, linear and nonlinear optical properties of a modified Gaussianquantum dot are studied. In this regard, the finite element method is employed to solvethe single electron Schrodinger equation in the effective mass approximation with andwithout impurity at the center of the dot. In addition, the en...
متن کاملDifferential reflection spectroscopy of a single quantum dot strongly coupled to a photonic crystal cavity
We demonstrate the use of periodically modulated Coulomb shifts in quantum dot QD transition energies to obtain differential reflection spectra of a photonic crystal nanocavity containing strongly coupled dots. Measured spectra isolate the change in the empty cavity optical reflectivity spectrum due to the presence of each dot. This technique permits the probing of coupled QD-cavity systems pos...
متن کاملMultiexciton Spectroscopy of a Single Self-Assembled Quantum Dot
We apply low temperature confocal optical microscopy to spatially resolve, and spectroscopically study, a single self-assembled quantum dot. By comparing the emission spectra obtained at various excitation levels to a theoretical many body model, we show that (a) single exciton radiative recombination is very weak, and (b) sharp spectral lines are due to optical transitions between confined mul...

متن کاملThe Effect of pH on the Optical Band Gap of PbSe Thin Film with Usability in the Quantum Dot Solar Cell and Photocatalytic Activity
This study was an attempt to provide a simple solution processed synthesis route for Lead Selenide (PbSe) nanostructure thin films using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method which is commercially available in inexpensive precursors. In the CBD method, the preparation parameters play a considerable role and determine the nature of the final product formed. Known as two main factors, the eff...
