Electrical control of the exciton-biexciton splitting in a single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots (1009.1989v2)
Published 10 Sep 2010 in cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: We report on single InGaAs quantum dots embedded in a lateral electric field device. By applying a voltage we tune the neutral exciton transition into resonance with the biexciton using the quantum confined Stark effect. The results are compared to theoretical calculations of the relative energies of exciton and biexciton. Cascaded decay from the manifold of single exciton-biexciton states has been predicted to be a new concept to generate entangled photon pairs on demand without the need to suppress the fine structures splitting of the neutral exciton.
