Strain tuning of quantum dot optical transitions via laser-induced surface defects

Abstract: We discuss the fine-tuning of the optical properties of self-assembled quantum dots by the strain perturbation introduced by laser-induced surface defects. We show experimentally that the quantum dot transition red-shifts, independently of the actual position of the defect, and that such frequency shift is about a factor five larger than the corresponding shift of a micropillar cavity mode resonance. We present a simple model that accounts for these experimental findings.

“…The phase shift π in our schemes can be achieved by a single photon which interacts with the QD twice. The above model works for a general polarization-degenerate cavity mode, including the micropillar [35][36][37], H1 photonic crystal [38,39], and fiber-based [40] cavities. Utilizing the optical circular birefringence induced by cavity quantum electrodynamics, the QD-cavity platform has been used to generate the maximally entangled states [12,13,31,[41][42][43], construct the conditional phase gate on hybrid photon-QD systems [12,13], and design the hyper-CNOT gate on photonic qubits [19].…”

“…In our proposal, the two cavity modes with right-and left-circular polarizations, which couple to the two transitions |+ ↔ |A 2 and |− ↔ |A 2 respectively, are required. Many good experiments that provide a cavity supporting both of two circularly-polarized modes with the same frequency have been realized [57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. For example, Luxmoore et al [57] presented a technique for fine tuning of the energy split between the two circularlypolarized modes to just 0.15nm in 2012.…”

“…The general resonators employed in our proposals should be polarization-degenerate ones, and they can be achieved by employing silica microtoroid resonators [64,71,76,77] fabricated on silicon wafers, H1 planar photonic crystal cavities [78][79][80][81] formed in thin semiconductor slab waveguides, micropillar cavities [82][83][84] grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs [100] substrates, or fiber-based Fabry-Perot cavities [72][73][74]. The degeneracy of the two orthogonal polarization modes of the H1 cavity is broken by systematic errors, such as hole shape and period, in the imperfect fabrication process.…”

“…This mode splitting can be restored by using the postfabrication tuning technique [78], by using the uniaxial strain technique [79], or by compensating for the fabrication error technique [80]. The energy of a micropillar cavity is split by residual strain in the structure or small shape asymmetries, and it can be tuned into polarization-degeneracy by laser-induced surface defects [82][83][84].…”
