The interaction between light and quantum-dot (QD) excitons is strongly influenced by the environment in which the QD is placed. We have investigated the interaction by measuring the time-resolved spontaneous-emission rate of QD excitons in different nanostructured environments. Thereby, we have determined the oscillator strength, quantum efficiency and spin-flip rates of QD excitons as well as...

Ten-layer InAs/In0.15Ga0.85As quantum dot (QD) laser structures have been grown using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on GaAs (001) substrate. Using the pulsed anodic oxidation technique, narrow (2 lm) ridge waveguide (RWG) InAs QD lasers have been fabricated. Under continuous wave operation, the InAs QD laser (2 · 2,000 lm) delivered total output power of up to 272.6 mW at 10 C at 1.3 lm. Under p...

Abstract Recent experiments demonstrate strongly directional coupling of light into waveguide modes. Here, the symmetry mechanisms behind this effect are studied, and it is shown that analysis symmetries symmetry‐breakings emitter‐waveguide system allows to qualitatively understand in several situations. The authors consider emitters either centered a median plane waveguide, or displaced from i...

complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (cmos) technology has been the industry standard to implement very large scale integrated (vlsi) devices for the last two decades. due to the consequences of miniaturization of such devices (i.e. increasing switching speeds, increasing complexity and decreasing power consumption), it is essential to replace them with a new technology. quantum-dot cellular...

we study the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of the ground and first excited states (gfes) of an electron strongly coupled to the lo-phonon in an asymmetry quantum dot (aqd) under an applied electric field by using a variational method of the pekar type (vmpt). this aqd two-level system may be viewed as a single qubit. when the electron is in the superposition state (ss) of the gfes, the effec...

interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. in this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect ingaas/algaas quantum dot (scdqd). the simulation is based on the imaginary time...

We study the coupling between a photonic crystal cavity and an off-resonant quantum dot under resonant excitation of the cavity or the quantum dot. Linewidths of the quantum dot and the cavity as a function of the excitation laser power are measured. We show that the linewidth of the quantum dot, measured by observing the cavity emission, is significantly broadened compared to the theoretical e...

We investigate the quantum entanglement between two quantum dots (QDs) in a plasmonic waveguide with a near-zero mode index, considering the dependence of concurrence on interdot distance, QD waveguide frequency detuning, and coupling strength ratio. High concurrence is achieved for a wide range of interdot distances due to the near-zero mode index, which largely relaxes the strict requirement ...
