Dynamics of the non-classical light from a single solid-state quantum emitter

October 18, 2012
Author(s)
Edward B. Flagg, Sergey Polyakov, Tim O. Thomay, Glenn S. Solomon
We measure the dynamics of a non-classical optical field using two-time second-order correlations in conjunction with pulsed excitation. The technique quantifies single-photon purity and coherence during the excitation-relaxation cycle of an emitter, which

Coalescence of Single Photons Emitted by Disparate Single Photon Sources: The Example of InAs Quantum Dots and Parametric Down-Conversion Sources

October 5, 2011
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Andreas Muller, Alexander E. Ling, Natalia B. Rutter, Edward B. Flagg, Edward Van Keuren, Alan L. Migdall, Glenn S. Solomon
In quantum mechanics, particles in identical states are indistinguishable, giving rise to effects with no classical analog. Single photons produced by fundamentally dissimilar physical processes will in general not be indistinguishable. We show how photons

4-bar-quasi-phasematching for second-harmonic generation in microdisks

August 15, 2011
Author(s)
Paulina S. Kuo, Glenn S. Solomon
We present a theoretical description of resonantly enhanced, 4-bar-quasi-phasematched, second-harmonic generation in microdisks made of materials possessing 4-bar symmetry, such as GaAs, GaP and ZnSe. The theory describes the interplay between quasi

Indistinguishability of single photons from dissimilar single-photon sources

June 14, 2011
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Glenn S. Solomon, Edward B. Flagg, Alan L. Migdall, Andreas Muller
In quantum mechanics, particles in identical states are indistinguishable, giving rise to effects with no classical analog. For instance, the bosonic nature of light insures that upon interference two indistinguishable photons will coalesce into a single

Resolved sideband emission from dynamically strained quantum dots

July 16, 2010
Author(s)
Michael Metcalfe, Stephen M. Carr, Andreas Muller, Glenn S. Solomon, John R. Lawall
The dynamic response of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) to strain is studied by periodically modulating the QDs with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) and measuring the QD fluorescence with both photoluminescence and resonant spectroscopy. When the

Ultrahigh finesse low mode volume Fabry-Perot microcavity

July 1, 2010
Author(s)
Andreas Muller, Edward B. Flagg, John R. Lawall, Glenn S. Solomon
Ultralow loss concave micromirrors with radii of curvature below 60 um were fabricated by laser ablation and reflective coatings. A 10 um long microcavity with a mode volume of 40 um^3 was set up with two such mirrors and the cavity linewidth measured both

Interference of Single Photons from Two Separate Semiconductor Quantum Dots

April 1, 2010
Author(s)
Edward B. Flagg, Andreas Muller, Sergey V. Polyakov, Alexander E. Ling, Glenn S. Solomon
We demonstrate and characterize interference between discrete photons emitted by two separate semiconductor quantum dot states in different samples excited by a pulsed laser. Their energies are tuned into resonance using strain. The photons have a total

Quasi-phasematched Second Harmonic Generation in GaAs Microdisks

November 15, 2009
Author(s)
Paulina S. Kuo, W Fang, Glenn S. Solomon
We discuss design and tuning of second-harmonic generation in GaAs microdisks. Quasi-phasematching can be achieved in the microdisk geometry without external domain inversions, but efficient nonlinear optical mixing requires that all waves be resonant
