We investigate the small-signal modulation response of two-section, gain-lever, quantum-dot semiconductor lasers. A three-polemodulation function is derived from a 3-D set of rate equations, and a 70% 3-dB bandwidth enhancement is computed and experimentally realized in an undoped quantum-dot gain-lever laser under extreme asymmetric-bias conditions. Finally, it is demonstrated that the 3-dB ba...

A record broadly tunable high-power external cavity InAs/GaAs quantum-dot diode laser with a tuning range of 202 nm (1122 nm-1324 nm) is demonstrated. A maximum output power of 480 mW and a side-mode suppression ratio greater than 45 dB are achieved in the central part of the tuning range. We exploit a number of strategies for enhancing the tuning range of external cavity quantum-dot lasers. Di...

application of quantum-dot is a promising technology for implementing digital systems at nano-scale.  quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) is a system with low power consumption and a potentially high density and regularity. also, qca supports the new devices with nanotechnology architecture. this technique works based on electron interactions inside quantum-dots leading to emergence of quantum ...

Single quantum dot detection sensitivity can be demonstrated with high spatio-temporal resolution using a combined approach of Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) , Multi-Channel Scaling (MCS) and Nonlinear (multiphoton-excited) Laser Scanning Microscopy (NLSM) demonstrating the unique opportunities of multi-modality nonlinear laser microscopy in conjunction with quantum dots for probin...

In this research, the effect of the first order magnetic field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a GaAs/AlAs spherical quantum dot has been calculated. The perturbation method has been used within the framework of effective mass approximation for these calculations. Overall, the analysis shows that a proper choice of quantum dot radius and magnetic field can signifi...

We report on the observation of single-photon superradiance from an exciton in a semiconductor quantum dot. The confinement by the quantum dot is strong enough for it to mimic a two-level atom, yet sufficiently weak to ensure superradiance. The electrostatic interaction between the electron and the hole comprising the exciton gives rise to an anharmonic spectrum, which we exploit to prepare the...
