Strong Coupling of Quantum Dots in Microcavities

Abstract: We show that strong-coupling (SC) of light and matter as it is realized with quantum dots (QDs) in microcavities differs substantially from the paradigm of atoms in optical cavities. The type of pumping used in semiconductors yields new criteria to achieve SC, with situations where the pump hinders, or on the contrary, favours it. We analyze one of the seminal experimental observation of SC of a QD in a pillar microcavity [Reithmaier et al., Nature (2004)] as an illustration of our main statements.

“…Although this phenomenon is quantum mechanical, the Rabi splitting between the two modes and their widths can be obtained using a simple classical model of two damped harmonic oscillators [11]. The criterion for observing the Rabi splitting between one emitter and one mode is given by [11][12][13]:…”

“…Since the effects of the excitonic pumping have been extensively studied in [12,13,14] in this section we only study the effects of the polaritonic pumping in the emission spectrum of the system. To do so we write the equations of motion of the variables in equation (8) as:…”

“…However, recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the possibility of creating high-finesse optical cavities and have resulted in the observation of Rabi doublets and Mollow triplets in the emission spectrum of individual QDs. [4][5][6] Moreover, the strong coupling of a single photon to a superconducting qubit, which has a two-level structure as well, has been demonstrated in a radio-wave superconducting cavity. 7 To increase light-matter coupling, quantum wells (QWs) can be used instead of individual QDs.…”
