Vertical electric field induced suppression of fine structure splitting of excited state excitons in a single GaAs/AlGaAs island quantum dots

Journal Article Ghali, Mohsen ; Laboratory of Nanophotonics, Physics Department, Faculty of Science, Kafrelsheikh University, 33516 Kafrelsheikh ; Ohno, Yuzo ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report experimentally on fine structure splitting (FSS) of various excitonic transitions in single GaAs island quantum dots, formed by a monolayer thickness fluctuation in the narrow GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well, and embedded in an n-i-Schottky diode device. By applying a forward vertical electric field (F) between the top metallic contact and the sample substrate, we observed an in-plane polarization rotation of both the ground and the excited state excitons with increasing the electric field. The polarization rotations were accompanied with a strong decrease in the FSS of the ground as well as the excited state excitons with the field, untilmore »« less

Excitonic fine-structure splitting in telecom-wavelength InAs/GaAs quantum dots: Statistical distribution and height-dependence

Journal Article Goldmann, Elias ; Barthel, Stefan ; Florian, Matthias ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The variation of the excitonic fine-structure splitting is studied for semiconductor quantum dots under the influence of a strain-reducing layer, utilized to shift the emission wavelength of the excitonic transition into the telecom-wavelength regime of 1.3–1.5 μm. By means of a sp{sup 3}s{sup *}-tight-binding model and configuration interaction, we calculate wavelength shifts and fine-structure splittings for various quantum dot geometries. We find the splittings remaining small and even decreasing with strain-reducing layer composition for quantum dots with large height. Combined with an observed increased emission efficiency, the applicability for generation of entanglement photons is persistent.

Analysis of the influence of geometrical dimensions and external magnetic field on optical properties of InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot slow light devices

Journal Article Choupanzadeh, B. ; Kaatuzian, H. ; Kohandani, R. - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The effect of the size of quantum dots (QDs) and an external magnetic field on InGaAs/GaAs QD slow light devices based on coherent population oscillations (CPOs) is simulated. Physical parameters of QDs, such as radius and height, are varied around their central mean values, which are assumed to be 8 and 5 nm, respectively. An attempt is made to obtain much better optical characteristics by applying a strong external magnetic field. The methods used to improve the optical properties of a QD slow light device, such as the slow down factor (SDF), bandwidth and exciton binding energy, are discussed. Itmore »« less

Tuning exciton energy and fine-structure splitting in single InAs quantum dots by applying uniaxial stress

Journal Article Su, Dan ; Dou, Xiuming ; Wu, Xuefei ; ... - AIP Advances

Exciton and biexciton emission energies as well as excitonic fine-structure splitting (FSS) in single InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) have been continuously tuned in situ in an optical cryostat using a developed uniaxial stress device. With increasing tensile stress, the red shift of excitonic emission is up to 5 nm; FSS decreases firstly and then increases monotonically, reaching a minimum value of approximately 10 μeV; biexciton binding energy decreases from 460 to 106 μeV. This technique provides a simple and convenient means to tune QD structural symmetry, exciton energy and biexciton binding energy and can be used for generating entangled andmore » indistinguishable photons.« less

Strain-driven growth of GaAs(111) quantum dots with low fine structure splitting

Journal Article Yerino, Christopher D. ; Jung, Daehwan ; Lee, Minjoo Larry, E-mail: minjoo.lee@yale.edu ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Symmetric quantum dots (QDs) on (111)-oriented surfaces are promising candidates for generating polarization-entangled photons due to their low excitonic fine structure splitting (FSS). However, (111) QDs are difficult to grow. The conventional use of compressive strain to drive QD self-assembly fails to form 3D nanostructures on (111) surfaces. Instead, we demonstrate that (111) QDs self-assemble under tensile strain by growing GaAs QDs on an InP(111)A substrate. Tensile GaAs self-assembly produces a low density of QDs with a symmetric triangular morphology. Coherent, tensile QDs are observed without dislocations, and the QDs luminescence at room temperature. Single QD measurements reveal low FSSmore »« less
