چکیده
In this paper, we review some recent cavity quantum electrodynamic (CQED) experiments with single quantum dot exciton coupled to photonic crystal cavities, performed in our group. We show how the coupled quantumdot/cavity system can be used to modulate light with at a very fundamental level with very low power and discuss some applications of these low power modulators.

Resonant excitation of a quantum dot strongly coupled to a photonic crystal nanocavity.
We describe the resonant excitation of a single quantum dot that is strongly coupled to a photonic crystal nanocavity. The cavity represents a spectral window for resonantly probing the optical transitions of the quantum dot. We observe narrow absorption lines attributed to the single and biexcition quantum dot transitions and measure antibunched population of the detuned cavity mode [g{(2)}(0)...
متن کاملQuantum Many-Body Simulation using Cavity Coupled Monolayer Excitons
We propose an architecture for quantum simulation of strongly interacting bosons using monolayer excitons in MoS2 quantum dots. The strongly coupled monolayer exciton and cavity photon form polaritons between which the interaction reaches 1 ∼ 10 meV—more than one order of magnitude higher than the state-of-art value. We discuss Mott transition in a chain of coupled cavities driven by photon blo...
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 کاملUltrafast photon-photon interaction in a strongly coupled quantum dot-cavity system.
We study dynamics of the interaction between two weak light beams mediated by a strongly coupled quantum dot-photonic crystal cavity system. First, we perform all-optical switching of a weak continuous-wave signal with a pulsed control beam, and then perform switching between two weak pulsed beams (40 ps pulses). Our results show that the quantum dot-nanocavity system enables fast, controllable...
متن کاملComplete Coherent Control of a Quantum Dot Strongly Coupled to a Nanocavity
Strongly coupled quantum dot-cavity systems provide a non-linear configuration of hybridized light-matter states with promising quantum-optical applications. Here, we investigate the coherent interaction between strong laser pulses and quantum dot-cavity polaritons. Resonant excitation of polaritonic states and their interaction with phonons allow us to observe coherent Rabi oscillations and Ra...
