High Resolution Optical Spectroscopy of Single Quantum Dots and Cavity-QED Effects and Lasing in Quantum Dot Microdisk Resonator Structures
Abstract
This project was initiated to study quantum electrodynamic effects (QED) on the interaction between quantum dots and the electromagnetic field. Investigations of quantized matter-field interactions involving self-assembled quantum dots required an advance in the understanding of the electronic structure and optical properties of strained quantum dots. Consequently much of the research carried out under this grant centered on clarifying these issues. Problems investigated included: optimization of the growth process by which the quantum dots were formed; physical characterization of the microstructure of the quantum dots so as to identify their symmetries and to enable the creation of appropriate electronic structure models; the use of these results to calculate electronic structure; and spectroscopic tests of the models.
