The light emission of self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots embedded in single GaAs-based micropillars has been studied by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The altered spontaneous emission is found to be accompanied by a non-exponential decay of the photoluminescence where the decay rate strongly depends on the excitation intensity. A microscopic theory of the quantum dot photon emission is used to explain both, the non-exponential decay and its intensity dependence. Also the transition from spontaneous to stimulated emission is studied.

We measure the detuning-dependent dynamics of a quasi-resonantly excited single quantum dot coupled to a micropillar cavity. The system is modeled with the dissipative Jaynes-Cummings model where all experimental parameters are determined by explicit measurements. We observe non-Markovian dynamics when the quantum dot is tuned into resonance with the cavity leading to a non-exponential decay in time. Excellent agreement between experiment and theory is observed with no free parameters providing the first quantitative description of an all-solid-state cavity QED system based on quantum dot emitters.
Exciton spin relaxation is investigated in single epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots in order to test the expected spin relaxation quenching in this system. We study the polarization anisotropy of the photoluminescence signal emitted by isolated quantum dots under steady-state or pulsed non-resonant excitation. We find that the longitudinal exciton spin relaxation time is strikingly short ($leq$100 ps) even at low temperature. This result breaks down the picture of a frozen exciton spin in quantum dots.
A very long lifetime emission with non-single exponential decay characteristic has been reported for single InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) samples, in which there exists a long-lived metastable state in the wetting layer (WL) [ACS Photonics 2020,7,3228-3235]. In this article we have proposed a new three-level model to simulate the emission decay curve. In this model, assuming that the excitons in metastable state will diffuse and be trapped by QDs, and then emit fluorescence in QDs, a stretched-like exponential decay formula is derived as I(t)=At^({beta}-1)e^(-(rt)^{beta}), which can well describe the long lifetime decay curve with an analytical expression of average lifetime <{tau}>=1/r{Gamma}(1/{beta}+1), where {Gamma} is the Gamma function. Furthermore, based on the proposed three-level model, an expression of the second-order auto-correlation function g^2 (t) which can well fit the measured g^2 (t) curve is also obtained.
We present a new micromechanical resonator designed for cavity optomechanics. We have used a micropillar geometry to obtain a high-frequency mechanical resonance with a low effective mass and a very high quality factor. We have coated a 60-$mu$m diameter low-loss dielectric mirror on top of the pillar and are planning to use this micromirror as part of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity, to laser cool the resonator down to its quantum ground state and to monitor its quantum position fluctuations by quantum-limited optical interferometry.
Single lateral InGaAs quantum dot molecules have been embedded in a planar micro-cavity in order to increase the luminescence extraction efficiency. Using a combination of metal-organic vapor phase and molecular beam epitaxy samples could be produced that exhibit a 30 times enhanced single-photon emission rate. We also show that the single-photon emission is fully switchable between two different molecular excitonic recombination energies by applying a lateral electric field. Furthermore, the presence of a polarization fine-structure splitting of the molecular neutral excitonic states is reported which leads to two polarization-split classically correlated biexciton exciton cascades. The fine-structure splitting is found to be on the order of 10 micro-eV.
