Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work on this program is aimed at developing and understanding nano-optical structures with the specific goal of developing and applying quantum optical methods to characterize and manipulate the quantum states of these systems. The measurements have resulted in a number of publications which demonstrate key features of new quantum mechanical structures. These features include optically induced and detected quantum entanglement of two exciton states as well as a demonstration of a classical Bell state, a Rabi oscillations corresponding to full coherent control of the state of a single quantum dot. The measurements were then extended to show optically induced and quantum entanglement in self assembled quantum dots through the detection of Raman quantum beats. Finally, we developed and demonstrated the first low temperature near field optical microscopy using coherent nonlinear optical spectroscopy techniques to directly probe the transition dipole and map out the center of mass motion of an excitonic wave function.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work on this program is aimed at developing and understanding nano-optical structures with emphasis on developing quantum optical-based devices. Specific work focused on semiconductor quantum dots. The major achievements include the first demonstration of an all optically driven quantum NOT-gate based on using the exciton-Bloch vector as the qubit (Science 2003). We also demonstrated optical density matrix tomography on this system. Since the fast recombination time of quantum dot excitons may limit these systems for quantum information applications, we initiated experiments on negatively charged quantum dots (similar to ions) where for quantum information processing, the qubit would be the electron spin. The energy level structure in this system is a 3-level A-system, which is also of importance to novel coherent optical applications such as slow light and electromagnetic induced transparency. Our experiments in this system are just beginning, but we have successfully demonstrated optically induced coherence in this system, the unexpected effect of spontaneously generated spin coherence, and coherent optical control. A summary of our work leading up to this was published by invitation in Physics Today while the achievement of the quantum NOT-gate was reviewed in Photonics News.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work on this program was aimed at developing and understanding nano-optical structures with emphasis on developing quantum optical based devices. Specific work focused on semiconductor quantum dots. During this research period, a number of important discoveries were made as well as critical demonstrations of importance to future technology. The discoveries include the prediction and observation of spontaneous emission induced coherence and the unexpected control of nuclear field fluctuations through coherent electron spin trapping that reduced the nuclear fluctuations and increases the electron spin coherence time. Demonstrations include fast spin state initialization, coherent spin trapping, quantum dot tomography, and the Mollow absorption spectrum for neutral and negatively charged exciton. Future work will capitalize on this progress to demonstrate deterministic entanglement between the electron spin and a photon for quantum information transfer and entanglements between two electron in adjacent dots for quantum based logic devices, sensors and communications.
Book Synopsis Coherent Control of Nonlinear Optical Processes in Individual Nanoparticles by : Nicolò Accanto
Download or read book Coherent Control of Nonlinear Optical Processes in Individual Nanoparticles written by Nicolò Accanto and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanophotonics aims to understand and control the interaction of light-matter at the nanometer scale. Boosted by the development of nanotechnology and nanofabrication, nanophotonics is a thriving research field, with applications in areas as diverse as optical communications, biological imaging, super-resolution microscopy and photovoltaics. For the design of specific structures and the development of new applications, it is vital to study and understand the basic ultrafast dynamical interactions of light with individual nanoparticles (NPs). The practical realization of experiments in which single nanoparticles are addressed with temporal resolution on the femtosecond scale is very demanding. The first goal of this thesis is to develop a robust and easy to operate experimental scheme, based on the combination of ultrashort phase-controlled laser pulses and high-resolution optical microscopes, which allows the desired ultrashort laser pulses to be delivered to localized nanometric volumes. Not only do we need to observe, but also to manipulate ultrafast light-matter interactions at the nanoscale by using precisely tailored laser fields, a concept that is often referred to as coherent control. The main goal of the thesis is to extend coherent control concepts, so far mainly applied to ensembles of systems, to the manipulation of ultrafast light-matter interactions in individual nanoparticles. Experimentally, this is realized by using ultrashort laser pulses, whose spectral phase can be precisely controlled, and measuring nonlinear optical responses from individual nanoparticles. The NPs investigated in this thesis can be divided into two categories: coherent and incoherent NPs. Coherent NPs present an intrinsic resonant response, in amplitude and phase, which can be resolved and controlled by the laser field. Resonant plasmonic nanoantennas constitute the main example of coherent NPs studied in the thesis. Incoherent NPs can be either non-resonant, or characterized by a very broad (much broader than the laser spectrum) resonance. Dielectric nonlinear NPs and semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) with broad absorptions are the incoherent NPs addressed here. Incoherent NPs are of crucial importance in this thesis. Based on the second harmonic generation (SHG) from incoherent dielectric NPs, a novel method to obtain full control of ultrashort pulses on a sub-diffraction-limited area is demonstrated. Successively, by using single semiconductor QDs and a novel optimization algorithm, a closed loop coherent control scheme capable of addressing single molecules and quantum emitters is realized and tested. Nonlinear interactions in plasmonic nanoantennas, depend both on the laser field and on their resonant response. Two different nonlinear responses, excited by ultrashort phase-controlled pulses, are studied: the SHG and the two-photon absorption (TPA). By studying the SHG, a precise measurement of the plasmon resonance in nanoantennasis performed, retrieving both spectral phase and amplitude. By using phase control, the possibility of using plasmonic nanoantennas for an improved imaging technique based on multicolor second harmonic labels is discussed and demonstrated. By investigating the TPA process, the presence of a coherent regime, only accessible by ultrashort pulses, is demonstrated. Finally the realization of a highly sensitive closed loop coherent control experiment on single nanoantennas is presented. The combined progress in nanotechnology and the ability discussed in this thesis to manipulate ultrafast nanoscale dynamics using light can lead the way towards new fascinating routes in the field of nanophotonics. The switching of light from one side to another of an asymmetric nanostructure, the selective investigation of different NPs at different times, the realization of super-resolution optical microscopy with femtosecond temporal resolution, are just few of the promising applications.

Book excerpt: Coherent nonlinear optical spectroscopy of individual excitons in GaAs quantum dots is demonstrated and shows strong similarities with atoms in their coherent optical interaction, unlike higher dimensional heterostructures. The nonlinear response is dominated by an incoherent contribution (saturation) and a coherent contribution (population pulsations) of the single dot and compares well with present theory. The data shows that energy relaxation and dephasing rates are comparable, reflecting the absence of significant pure dephasing, and also demonstrate the presence of interdot energy transfer.

This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental concept of quantum coherence plays a central role in quantum physics, cutting across disciplines of quantum optics, atomic and condensed matter physics. Quantum coherence represents a universal property of the quantum s- tems that applies both to light and matter thereby tying together materials and p- nomena. Moreover, the optical coherence can be transferred to the medium through the light-matter interactions. Since the early days of quantum mechanics there has been a desire to control dynamics of quantum systems. The generation and c- trol of quantum coherence in matter by optical means, in particular, represents a viable way to achieve this longstanding goal and semiconductor nanostructures are the most promising candidates for controllable quantum systems. Optical generation and control of coherent light-matter states in semiconductor quantum nanostructures is precisely the scope of the present book. Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in the subject of quantum coh- ence. We are currently witnessing parallel growth of activities in different physical systems that are all built around the central concept of manipulation of quantum coherence. The burgeoning activities in solid-state systems, and semiconductors in particular, have been strongly driven by the unprecedented control of coherence that previously has been demonstrated in quantum optics of atoms and molecules, and is now taking advantage of the remarkable advances in semiconductor fabrication technologies. A recent impetus to exploit the coherent quantum phenomena comes from the emergence of the quantum information paradigm.
Book Synopsis Semiconductor Nanostructures by : Dieter Bimberg
Download or read book Semiconductor Nanostructures written by Dieter Bimberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-06-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing the size of a coherently grown semiconductor cluster in all three directions of space to a value below the de Broglie wavelength of a charge carrier leads to complete quantization of the energy levels, density of states, etc. Such “quantum dots” are more similar to giant atoms in a dielectric cage than to classical solids or semiconductors showing a dispersion of energy as a function of wavevector. Their electronic and optical properties depend strongly on their size and shape, i.e. on their geometry. By designing the geometry by controlling the growth of QDs, absolutely novel possibilities for material design leading to novel devices are opened. This multiauthor book written by world-wide recognized leaders of their particular fields and edited by the recipient of the Max-Born Award and Medal 2006 Professor Dieter Bimberg reports on the state of the art of the growing of quantum dots, the theory of self-organised growth, the theory of electronic and excitonic states, optical properties and transport in a variety of materials. It covers the subject from the early work beginning of the 1990s up to 2006. The topics addressed in the book are the focus of research in all leading semiconductor and optoelectronic device laboratories of the world.
